My Ideal Client

My therapeutic work is grounded in the reality that relationships are hard. Whether you are baffled by your single-hood, or in the throws of trying to make it work, relationships can feel impossible and essential at the same time. In spite of the challenge, I know we all have the capacity for connected, secure relationships.

My Approach to Helping

My relational work is a good fit for high-conflict couples, sexual issues like low libido, sexual avoidance, erectile dysfunction, and painful sex. In my individual work, I love working with folks who have never been in relationship, or who have a difficult time moving from dating into commitment. My sex therapy practice is based in the belief that good sex is not compatible with the tired cultural scripts that tend to dominate our sexual relationships. In session, we shake off these scripts and shift the focus toward an authentic connection to your own pleasure and your innate capacity for connection and play.

My Values as a Therapist

I hold the Antioch University certificates in Sex Therapy and Sex Education. I work from an anti-racist, anti-oppression, and decolonial lens. To set up a consult, please visit my website or email me.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    My therapeutic focus is relationships. I am trained in the integrative Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model by Edwards Psychotherapy in Portland. I have spent four years under the supervision of Karlaina Brooke, an AASECT certified supervisor and integrative EFT supervisor. In that time, my work with couples and individuals has been focused in attachment, sex, dating, long-term partnership issues, and intractable singlehood.

  • Sexual Problems External link

    I am a member of the American Association for Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), and hold the Certificates of Sex Therapy and Sex Education from Antioch University, Seattle. I have spent four years under the supervision of Karlaina Brooke, an AASECT certified supervisor and integrative EFT supervisor.

  • Social Phobia External link

    I work specifically with folks who have a phobia of dating, intimate relationships, and/ or find themselves stuck in a pattern of long-term, unwanted singlehood. I run two groups by the name "Why Am I Still Fucking Single" that focus on this issue.
