I strive to create an empowering and supportive space where you can strengthen your intimate relationship with yourself and others.
what is one book that has really influenced your work as a couples & Sex Therapist?
Recently, I read Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections by Emily Nagoski. As a sex therapist, I believe your relationship with yourself is just as important as your relationships with others. Nagoski challenges the myths that often stand in the way of lasting sexual connections while championing that self-care and self-love are integral to healthy relationships. Nagoski is for everyone, whether they are struggling with their relationships or just looking for practical tools to improve their relationships.
How would your clients describe you?
Compassionate, curious, insightful, and collaborative.
when you’re not at your therapy desk, what can we find you doing?
When I am not at my desk, you can find me reading a good book, spending time out in nature, or fostering kittens!
Noelle’s Full Biography
I am so glad that you made it here! If you are craving more meaningful connection with yourself or your partner, you are in the right spot. Whether you are interested in improving intimacy, exploring new aspects of your sexuality, traversing modern dating, or facing challenges in your relationships, you do not have to do it alone. I meet clients where they are on their journey, ensuring a compassionate and collaborative approach to growth and healing.
We are all shaped by our experiences with our body, our culture, and the society that we live in. Together we will have the opportunity to better understand how past experiences influence your present sexual and relational identity. As a therapist, I actively listen and share therapeutic feedback while providing education and skills that support you in making the changes that you desire. The language, skills, and tools that you gain from our space are guided by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gottman Therapeutic Approaches.
