Sexual Problems

I partner frequently with local professionals who specialize in the medical and physical side of sexual wellness: OBGYNs, pelvic floor PTs, and primary care providers are amazing places to start your journey of healing. My job is to support your journey and attend to the challenges that arise in your sexual life - with training in the physiological and emotional factors in sexuality, I am equipped to walk with you as you reach your goals.

I possess a nuanced understanding of the unique challenges and dynamics that encompass sexual health and intimacy within the LGBTQ+ community. Drawing upon a foundation of inclusive and affirmative practices, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals to explore their sexual identities, desires, and concerns. My expertise extends beyond traditional therapeutic approaches to incorporate an intersectional lens towards sexual health and wellness.

I am dedicated to helping folks, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community, find healing from systems that have perpetuated their sexual oppression. You set the tone for therapy, but know that I will welcome you wherever you’re at. If you want to dive right into discussing your latest sexual adventure, fabulous. If you’d prefer to not go there at all, or anything in between, also fabulous. My main goal is to champion your pursuit of pleasure, in whatever way that looks like for you.

I have more than ten years of experience working with clients who are struggling with sex, sexuality, and/or intimacy concerns. I work extensively with couples who have mismatched libidos, are in the process of opening and/or closing their relationship(s), or are seeking to increase their confidence.

Struggles with sexual desire, pleasure, or functioning, often stem from some combination of traumatic life events, health, relational issues, or life transitions.

Together discussion, guided exercises, and various homework assignments, we work to help you find your own erotic pathway towards connection, pleasure and satisfaction.

I love talking about sex. I love helping people have great sex. Our society is filled with shame about our bodies and sex that many of my clients have never talked about it with anyone, including their sexual partners. Society has sexualized all touch and made it so people feel like sex is the only place they can be touched.

It's easy to understand why anyone would have sexual problems. No one teaches us how to be healthy sexual beings. We're taught all kinds of stuff that's wrong and we have to make up a lot of what we do by trial and error. It's a silly way to learn something so vital to our lives. I'm sure that whatever you struggle with is common. It won't surprise me. Come see me to find out what no one would teach you in a safe caring way.

I have additional training from the California Institute of Integral Studies in Sex Therapy and advanced supervision.

Most people struggle to talk about sex, no matter who they're talking about it with: your doctor, your partner, your friends, your child, your parent. Even people who are comfortable with their own sexuality know how difficult it can be to talk about sex if their conversation partner is less comfortable or familiar talking about it. Please know that if you want to talk about sex and sexuality, you can talk about it in therapy.

In 2009, I started my journey to become a therapist because of my desire to address the shame and stigma surrounding sexuality in American culture. My goal is to provide folx with accurate and objective information and journey with them as they use this information to examine the unhelpful or harmful cultural messaging received around sexuality and create their own understanding of what a thriving sex life means for them.

I specialize in helping clients suffering from sexual issues from intimacy, exploration, hormone deficiency, lack of desire, and pornography addictions.
