A sexual problem, sometimes called a sexual dysfunction, is a problem during any phase of the sexual sexual act (such as desire, arousal or orgasm). Although many people experience trouble with sex at some point, it is a topic that many people are hesitant to discuss. There are a number of specific sexual disorders, including sexual desire disorders (low libido), sexual arousal disorders (inability to become aroused – erectile dysfunction or vaginal dryness, for example), orgasm disorders (delay or non-appearance of orgasms) and sexual pain disorders (painful intercourse, most commonly affecting women). A sexual problem can occur suddenly or develop slowly, over an extended period of time. The reasons for sexual problems can widely vary but may include factors such as fluctuating hormones, aging, stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, diet, medications, illness or past sexual trauma. If you are dealing with sexual problems, a qualified professional therapist can help you identify the cause and help you develop ways to cope.

Let's be honest: being a human in 2024 is exhausting. You may struggle with constant worry and a sense that nothing you do is ever good enough. Joy feels harder to come by, and loneliness can take its toll. Perhaps you wonder: is this really all there is?... I work with my clients to tame overwhelming anxiety and painful emotions, recover from trauma, build confidence in themselves, and improve their relationships. You deserve a non-judgmental space to reconnect with yourself and your needs.

You want someone who's straight to the point so that you can get on with your life. Sure, credentials matter, but what matters most is someone who provides quality and value starting session #1. More, when it comes to hiring a consultant to improve your relationship and sex life, you want someone exceptionally skilled at both and with a proven track record.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Black sheep? Eccentric? Outlier? Fringe? Strange? Defiant? Odd? Wonderful! There is no "normal" despite what society upholds when it comes to personal decisions. I am a sex-positive therapist with extensive training, meaning that there is no judgement, shaming, or questioning of a sexual preference or practice. Sexual fetishes, BDSM/Kink, erectile dysfunction, porn consumption, sex work...I am well versed and enjoy the rare moment when a patient surprises me. Consent necessary!.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages who hold multiple minority identities and are seeking identity development, trauma therapy, or parent training. Many of my clients have jokingly described me as a "process consultant" and "professional poker". I can treat a range of mental health concerns but highly enjoy serving the local LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent community. I have experience writing letters in support of gender-affirming medical interventions (e.g., hormone treatment and surgery).
