First and foremost, I am a psychotherapist helping people to understand and accept themselves with grace and compassion. My approach to therapy is holistic, taking into consideration the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and relational well-being. I celebrate the unique identities, desires, and relationship structures of each individual. Currently, my work is focused on addressing issues related to relationships and sexual concerns. I specialize in working with gender, sexual, and relationship diverse folx. I help people with long-standing and complex issues related to sex and intimacy. I am dedicated to helping clients resolve these issues and experience new ways of relating, develop satisfying relationships, and explore pleasure. I utilize an attachment-based approach and my focus includes conflict and communication breakdowns in relationships; sexual identity; gender identity; non-monogamy and open relationships; low desire/desire discrepancy; difficulty with arousal or orgasm; sex-related pain; erectile dysfunction; trauma and other sexual problems. I am LGBTQIA+/Kink/ENM/GNC and Sex Worker informed and affirming.

I am also the Co-Founder, Lead Therapist, and Clinical Director of the Northwest Institute for Psychotherapy and Sexuality. We established this practice to provide informed, inclusive, and effective therapy by highly trained therapists. We believe that everyone is entitled to quality healthcare that supports expression of individuality.
