I am especially passionate about exploring the complexities of intimacy and relational dynamics, whether with couples, individuals or non-traditional relationship structures, or with those questioning or seeking clarity around their sexual identity. I offer a supportive and affirming space for neurodivergent individuals, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, those navigating addiction, cisgender men, sex workers, and survivors of sexual trauma.
