SERVICES
As a Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in issues relating to sex, I offer counseling services to couples, individuals, and non-monogamous folx, addressing a wide range of presenting issues from anxiety, to depression, trauma, and relational or intimacy troubles. I do my best to be informed and affirming to diverse populations and welcome sex workers, gender non-binary folx, non monogamous people, and Kink or lifestyle persons.
​
Though I of course welcome clients at any time in their period of growth, I personally urge clients to seek therapy from a preventative standpoint; just as you would learn to ride a bicycle or drive a car, you can learn to maximize your time, energy, relationships and experiences. You don’t have to wait to come to therapy as a last resort and no issue is too small to merit attention and room for growth.
​
My expertise and passion is in the field of sex therapy. I offer a nonjudgmental approach and though I often incorporate a family systems orientation (which looks at how your upbringing and experiences have shaped you), I help tailor my counseling services to holistically match your religion, spiritual preferences, and lifestyle.
​
I also offer writing, consulting, education, and media appearance services to individuals and companies. Get in touch to see how I can help you or your company become more sex and mental health informed.
