I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples struggling with a range of sexual concerns and issues including but not limited to desire discrepancies, infidelity, out-of-control sexual behaviors, erectile dysfunction, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, and healing from sexual trauma. Additionally, I enjoy working with alternative sexuality such as kink, BDSM, polyamory, and ethical non-monogamy. I am Level 1 trained in Gottman Couples Method Therapy and am currently working towards AASECT certification under the supervision of certified sex therapist Tamara Pincus, LCSW.

I am also passionate about working with attachment issues and complex-PTSD. I primarily work from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective and utilize mind-body interventions to help clients get unstuck and develop self-compassion for the thoughts and behaviors that leave them feeling shame, disassociated, and out of control. I find nothing more rewarding than witnessing clients access self-trust and reconnect with the idea that they are already whole. 

My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Public Relations from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, a master’s degree in Sociology from George Mason University, and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University. My training allows me to approach sex therapy with a comprehensive, holistic understanding of the individual, relational dynamics, and sociocultural influences. I hope to foster a sex-positive, trauma-informed therapy space that is free of judgment.
