Closeness can be cultivated in more ways than we're told, and therapy offers a space to build it intentionally. I offer a warm, compassionate place where you're met with empathy, curiosity, and gentle accountability, so you can be curious about intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and identity without shame or judgment.

I specialize in sex therapy, relationship issues, LGBTQ+ topics, and digital intimacy, utilizing talk therapy tools with individuals, couples, and relationship systems to explore the breadth of human connection, including how adult content and sexual technologies reshape the ways we generate closeness. My approach is integrative and collaborative, sex-positive and trauma-informed, shaped around what you need and attentive to how race, gender, and power move through our intimate lives.

Our work together often means examining the culture, power, and stories that shape your intimate life, and questioning what you've been taught. I believe that healing happens in relationships, not isolation, and that being alone isn't the same as being lonely. You don't have to carry anything by yourself.

I define intimacy as closeness; there are endless ways to build it. I'd be honored to help you explore yours.
