I take a collaborative, active approach to individual & relationship therapy to help clients become unstuck from ruts, break old unhealthy patterns, communicate more effectively, resolve relationship crises, and learn more about themselves as partners and as people.

As a sex educator and sex writer, I bring a unique comfort with issues of sex and sexuality issues to the individuals and partners I work with. I work with clients from all backgrounds and relationship styles, especially including LGBTQQ+ clients & those in non-monogamous relationship structures.
