Most of us didn’t grow up learning how to talk about sex, how to navigate intimacy, or how to relate to others in healthy, connected ways. These are some of the most important parts of being human—and yet, they’re often left out of the conversation or shrouded in shame.
In my practice, I offer a space where you can explore these topics openly, without judgment. Together, we look at what you’ve learned, what you’ve internalized, and what you want to build instead. Whether you’re reconnecting with yourself or deepening a relationship, therapy can help you access the most authentic parts of who you are and develop the skills needed for more nourishing, satisfying connections.
My therapy approach is integrative, meaning that I draw on techniques from different approaches in order to tailor to the needs of my clients. My work is anchored in the humanistic approach, attachment theory, and developmental psychology, with a deep respect for each person’s autonomy and an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a space for safety, reflection, and growth.
Individual Therapy
Approach
Our sense of our sexual and relational self is shaped by the messages we receive from family, culture, and society. These influences – and the sexual scripts that we inherit – shape our desires, expectations, and experiences in ways we may not fully recognize. In individual therapy, we work together to sift through these messages, keeping what aligns with your authentic self and challenging what no longer serves you.
Using a biopsychosocial lens, we explore how physical health, psychological experiences, and sociocultural factors intersect in your intimate life. This includes unpacking the roles of gender, culture, religion, family beliefs, and personal experiences in shaping your sexuality and relationships.
This process can help address sexual difficulties, deepen self-understanding, and support you in cultivating a more fulfilling relationship with intimacy and pleasure.
Possible Topics:
Sexual difficulties such as erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, anorgasmia, or others
Exploring your sexual identity
Navigating a recent break-up or a new relationship
Unpacking shame or discomfort associated with sex, intimacy, or closeness
Exploring ethical non-monogamy, either as a newbie or long-time practitioner
Couples Therapy
Approach
How do you stay true to yourself in the presence of someone you love? How do you find your voice in a relationship and express your needs with confidence and clarity?
Relationships are not static—they evolve as each person grows and develops over a lifetime. Through the lens of attachment theory and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, I help partners to build the skills they need in order to navigate the natural stages of relationship growth, strengthening connection while also fostering their own ability to maintain a strong sense of self.
Every relationship is unique, each with their own set of strengths and challenges. Therapy can help couples to work through difficulties related to emotional intimacy, sexual connection, communication, or relationship structures. I aim to offer a space for growth where both partners feel seen, heard, and supported.
