I'll help you understand and overcome the things that impact your ability to get erections and achieve orgasm, all while challenging unhelpful narratives you may have about sex. You'll experience improved feelings and attitudes toward sex and your body. I also work with patients to better align their decisions with their values, so they can disrupt the cycle of shame and guilt from unfulfilling sexual choices.

I provide affirming care to the LGBTQ+ community and am committed to helping each patient feel safe, valued, and deeply respected. While some might feel confused about their sexual orientation, others simply want help from someone who understands the unique challenges they face. Whatever your reason is for seeking therapy, I look forward to helping.

As a psychologist treating individuals of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), my practice is inclusive of those of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, kinks, relationship structures, and behaviors between consenting adults.

Anxiety is a normal and adaptive emotion we all experience from time to time. However, problematic anxiety can affect your work and home life, prevent you from connecting with loved ones, and leave you ruminating on all the awful “what-ifs." Anxiety can also make you irritable, disrupt sleep, and even cause panic attacks. The good news is that it can be treated. So, what if you could be comfortable in your own skin? I’d argue that’s one “what if” scenario worth exploring.

Whether you're an experienced kinkster or you're newly interested in exploring kink/BDSM safely, I am passionate and knowledgable about helping folx whose sex includes some form of kink or BDSM. Issues related to the importance of enthusiastic consent, self-esteem, clear and assertive communication, as well as safely exploring your fantasies and understanding why you find certain forms of kink particularly erotic are common topics in treatment.

I work with all men to address sexual performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, porn and/or substance use, and communication difficulties. I also help straight-identified men understand and appreciate their attraction to trans women.

I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities and joys of non-monogamous, open, and polyamorous relationships. Clear goals, boundaries, trust, respect, consent, and communication are vital but not sufficient aspects to success in these partnerships. Whether you are newly considering opening up your relationship or have been a part of the community for some time, I’d be happy to help you explore, create, and thrive in the relationship structure that best suits your needs.
