About me

As a relationship, couples, and sex therapist, I am passionate about helping women and couples navigate the challenges that may prevent them from experiencing deeper connection and pleasurable experiences. I understand that relationships can sometimes feel complicated, and many factors—whether emotional, physical, or relational—can create barriers to intimacy and satisfaction. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet your unique needs. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples who may be facing difficulties such as communication issues, intimacy concerns, sexual health challenges, or emotional disconnects. I believe in the power of creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, enhance their emotional well-being, and rediscover the joys of connection and intimacy. My goal is to empower you to break through obstacles, develop stronger emotional bonds, and ultimately cultivate a more fulfilling and pleasurable life, both in your relationships and within yourself. Through evidence-based therapy techniques, I work with clients to address underlying issues, build healthier communication patterns, and improve overall relationship satisfaction.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll begin with a warm introduction and then gently explore the specific challenges you're facing. This initial conversation will help us understand the roots of your concerns and lay the groundwork for a personalized plan moving forward. From there, we’ll work together to address these issues in a way that feels supportive and meaningful to you. My goal is to create a safe space where we can uncover the “why” behind your struggles and then focus on practical steps for moving forward with confidence.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strength as a therapist lies in my ability to integrate multiple modalities to meet your unique needs. Beyond traditional therapy techniques, I am trained in various holistic approaches that offer a comprehensive and personalized treatment experience. This diverse toolkit allows me to address your concerns from multiple angles, ensuring a well-rounded and effective healing process. Whether you’re seeking traditional support or exploring alternative methods, I’m here to provide a tailored approach that supports your overall well-being.

My treatment methods

Experiential Therapy

I have been extensively trained in this modality for 5 years. Experiential therapy will be used to treat individuals with anxiety, sexuality, sex and intimacy, relationship challenges, and change of life challenges by engaging them in activities and experiences that foster emotional expression, insight, and personal growth, helping them to explore and address underlying issues in a supportive and transformative environment.

Integrative

With nine years of experience, I have integrated experiential, somatic, mind-body, and psychodynamic treatment modalities to effectively address anxiety, sexuality, sex and intimacy, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and inner child healing. This holistic approach has allowed me to tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs, promoting deep emotional healing and personal transformation.

Sex Therapy

I am a kink-conscious professional with extensive experience in sex therapy, currently pursuing certification as an integrative couples and sex therapist. I use sex therapy to help women and couples address a wide range of sexuality challenges, including exploring sexuality after sexual trauma, navigating the changes of perimenopause and menopause, and managing chronic pain. By focusing on improving pleasure for individuals and with their partners, I work to enhance intimacy and pleasure within relationships, address mismatched libidos, and support the exploration of sexual identity. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to openly discuss and work through their concerns.
