I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and PhD in Clinical Sexology specializing in desire, intimacy, relationships, anxiety, and trauma. My work centers around helping individuals and couples understand themselves more deeply, build healthier emotional and sexual connections, and feel more grounded and confident in their relationships and daily lives.

My doctoral work deepened my focus on sexual desire and desire differences in relationships and led to the development of Desire Dialogues, a psychoeducational workbook designed to help partners better understand and navigate differences in desire with greater compassion, curiosity, and connection.

Over the years, I’ve worked with people who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to navigate intimacy, desire, or emotional closeness. Many arrive feeling confused about their sexual experiences, anxious in their relationships, or weighed down by stress, shame, or past trauma. My role is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down and explore what’s really happening beneath the surface.

My therapeutic style is warm, empathic, and direct. I bring compassion, curiosity, and honesty to my sessions, along with evidence-based approaches that support meaningful, lasting change. I integrate emotional attunement, sex-positive education, relational insight, and EMDR-informed trauma work to help you reconnect with your body, your emotions, and your relationships.

I believe healing happens when we feel seen, safe, and supported. Therapy isn’t about perfection or “fixing” you—it’s about understanding your patterns, honoring your experiences, and developing the clarity and connection you’ve been looking for.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, differences in sexual desire, sexual pain, performance anxiety, relationship concerns, or the lasting effects of trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to help you move toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned, connected, and alive.
