A Somatic Sexologist, AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator, author, speaker and religious trauma survivor.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns that keep them from the intimacy they want, whether that means recurring conflict, difficulty communicating needs, disconnection, shame around sex, religious trauma or feeling caught between wanting closeness and protecting themselves from it. These patterns often develop as ways of adapting to our earliest relationships and the environments we grew up in, and they can be difficult to change through insight alone. My work draws on sexuality, attachment, nervous system regulation, and relational psychology to help clients understand what's happening beneath the surface and practice new ways of communicating, navigating conflict, experiencing desire, and building connection.


Rather than keeping the work in the realm of insight alone, I help clients slow down, notice what’s happening in real time, and practice new ways of relating. That might mean learning to stay present during a difficult conversation, communicate a boundary without abandoning yourself, listen without immediately becoming defensive, or repair a rupture instead of retreating into familiar patterns. The goal isn't simply to understand yourself better; it's to create relationships that feel different to actually be in.

Beyond my private practice, I teach professionals, physicians, and community organizations about sexual health, desire, and relationship dynamics. My speaking and teaching include topics such as intimacy after medical trauma and purity culture's lasting effects on sexuality and self-worth. I'm passionate about making conversations around sex and relationships more honest, inclusive, and grounded in the realities of people's lives.


Outside of work, I'm usually swimming in the ocean, getting lost in a book, watching reality TV, learning French, or spending time with my community.
