Queer-affirming therapy means you don’t have to explain or defend who you are to be understood. We can explore how stigma, marginalization, and cultural narratives about LGBTQ+ identities have impacted you, and how you’ve adapted to survive and belong. Sometimes that means unpacking internalized homophobia and compulsive heteronormativity, which can often manifest as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or a nagging sense that something about you isn’t quite “right." From there, the work is about building self-compassion, deepening self-trust, and taking steps toward a more empowered, authentic life.

Sex therapy is a space to talk openly about intimacy, desire, and connection. It affirms that there’s no one “right” way to experience sexuality, while also making room to gently process things like sexual trauma, consent, and the overall impact of being socialized in this sex-negative world, all at your own pace. Whether you’re navigating desire discrepancy in a relationship, feeling disconnected from your body, or just wondering “is this normal?”, we can get curious together about what’s going on and what you actually want.

As a couples therapist, I help partners slow down and understand what’s happening between you—without getting stuck in the same argument on repeat. We’ll explore how your attachment patterns and personal history shape closeness and conflict. We will also focus on differentiation: the ability to grounded in yourself while staying emotionally connected to your partner, so you can express needs, tolerate discomfort, and not lose yourself in the relationship. This work supports deepened connection and growth— both with yourself and within your relationship— so you can create something secure and sustainable.
