Are you yearning to speak the unspeakable? Let's create a space where you feel safe enough to share your unpopular opinions and hot takes. I’ll sit with you and be a witness to your story, no matter how beautiful or terrible. I want to hear what’s taboo, subversive, and extraordinary. Through our work you’ll learn to embrace your whole self: messy, complex, and capable of growth no matter your past. How would your life change if you could hold your pain with compassion and curiosity, instead of resistance?

Queer, trans, and nonbinary folks to the front, please! Are y'all exhausted and stressed out from living in a world that demands too much and doesn’t offer enough time for rest and connection? I help LGBTQ+ adults and couples connect with difficult emotions so they can tap into their deepest joys. Through patience and compassion, I guide couples back to a loving connection.

I'm a sex therapist in training with a background in reproductive health and sex education! I'm kink/BDSM aware, sex worker friendly, and supportive of polyamorous relationships. I help folks navigate: difficulty with orgasm, low interest and desire, erectile and ejaculation issues, and uncomfortable or painful sex.

I am committed to learning and have studied trauma-informed yoga, queer feminist theory, and reproductive justice. I identify as neurodivergent, white (Irish/German descent), small fat/”plus sized", and queer (bi, trans-nonbinary, fluid, femme), among other things. In my spare time you might find me strolling through dense redwood forests, publishing zines with the queer art community, or reading a book in a cozy chair.

I’m here to support your recovery and nurture your resilience because you deserve a fulfilling life that embodies your most ambitious hopes and dreams.
