Introduction

As a sex-positive and pleasure-focused therapist, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals and couples cultivate healthy and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. I believe that sexuality is an integral part of our lives, and it plays a significant role in the dynamics of our relationships. My career is dedicated to guiding individuals and couples through the complexities of intimate relationships. I address a wide range of issues including sexual dysfunction, low libido, infidelity, communication problems, intimacy issues, and other challenges that can arise in personal relationships. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space, I foster open and honest communication – a crucial element to developing healthy and fulfilling relationships. In therapy, I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Neuroscience. Through a collaborative approach, I work with clients to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Together, we explore thoughts and feelings surrounding sex and relationships, while ensuring a supportive environment for growth. My ultimate aim is to help individuals and couples navigate their unique journeys toward better intimacy and connection. By providing a warm and understanding space, I am committed to assisting clients in finding fulfillment in their sexual and romantic lives. If you are seeking support in enhancing your relationship with yourself and others, I am here to help you embark on this transformative journey.
