About My Clients

Intimacy shouldn't feel this hard, especially when the care and commitment are there. The couples and polycules I work with often put in real effort, yet closeness feels strained, desire is out of sync, or sex feels distant. Some are navigating a desire discrepancy they can't name without shame. Others are working through non-monogamous or polyamorous dynamics without a therapist who understands that terrain. Many are also navigating cultural dynamics, ready for something more intentional.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in relationship and sex therapy for couples and polycules, with a focus on intimacy, desire, and relational patterns. My work centers intimacy, desire, and emotional safety as interconnected parts of how your relationship actually functions. Rather than offering scripts or surface-level tools, we explore what’s happening underneath: the patterns, protections, and dynamics shaping your connection. Therapy is collaborative and direct—we slow things down, name what’s happening, and work toward redefining how connection, intimacy, and desire function in your relationship. My work is culturally attuned, particularly for Black and POC relationships, and you don’t have to code-switch, over-explain, justify your needs to be understood, or carry it alone.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Intimacy and desire often sit at the center of what’s working—and what isn’t—in a relationship. Many couples struggle not because they’re incompatible, but because they’re operating from patterns shaped by survival, culture, and past experiences that no longer fit. Therapy creates space to move beyond those patterns and toward connection that feels intentional, satisfying, and honest. Outside of my work, I value a life that feels grounded and fully lived, and enjoy traveling, baking, creative projects, and 90s and 2000s hip hop and R&B.
