About My Clients

Do you feel you're missing out on your best sexual self? Are you finding intimacy full of worry and anxiety? Looking for support engaging in an open relationship? As a passionate advocate for sexual wellness and healthy relationship dynamics, it is my deepest hope to support as many individuals and couples throughout New Jersey as I can to find fulfillment in their intimate lives through unwavering support and guidance.

My Background and Approach

With a background in reproductive justice and relationship violence, I bring a diversity of experience to my practice. As a Doctor of Philosophy in Social Work, I've spent my life understanding the systemic causes of the daily challenges we each face. I've supported sex worker communities in their fight for rights and I believe in each individuals right to express themselves in the ways that speak true to their identity. The most radical act we can make in this world is to love and be loved. I work with clients to help them find the exact right expression that works for them! To be unburdened by the patterns created in early life that no longer serve them. To address anxiety and depression through somatic support and coaching. I pull from ACT, attachment theory, and trauma-informed teachings. I support individuals, couples, and groups as they navigate sexual dysfunction, impulsive sexual behaviors, addressing trauma, intimacy concerns, and exploring non-monogamy and polyamory. +BDSM

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As we navigate adult relationships and romantic expression, we all need support to address how our learned coping mechanisms get in the way of our true desires. As someone who found herself in unfulfilling relationship after unfulfilling relationship, I came to understand how held back I was by the limitations of a sexually repressed culture. I believe that true contentment in life comes from feeling most congruent with what happens inside and outside your self. In order to do this, we each need support in exploring our worries, our fears, and our people-pleasing tendencies. I believe in a future that allows us each to express ourselves directly and safely with kindness and awareness of the systemic oppression we all fall prey. If you want support in understanding your intuition, navigating unhelpful societal programming, and untangling childhood coping skills, contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation!
