About My Clients

Dedicated to empowering couples and individuals, I specialize in addressing relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, and sexual dysfunctions. Whether you're seeking deeper connection, understanding in your partnership, or navigating personal challenges around sexuality and intimacy, my practice offers a supportive space for growth and healing. Embracing the LGBTQ+ community, polyamorous individuals, sex workers, and BDSM/kink explorers, I'm here to support your journey.

My Background and Approach

My approach is integrative, with a strong foundation in the Psychodynamic theory, allowing me to delve deeply into the emotional and psychological underpinnings of relationship dynamics. In therapy, we focus on building understanding and trust, fostering open communication, and exploring new paths to intimacy and connection. I offer virtual sessions only. Please email me for a free 15-minute phone consultation to ensure a good fit. Our practice offers a unique Concierge Billing Service in which we file your out-of-network claims, on your behalf, to expedite your reimbursement. I look forward to the opportunity to work together!
