About this provider
Clients I Work With
I work with women and couples navigating intimacy, desire, emotional disconnection, and relationship challenges. Couples often come to me feeling more like roommates than partners, stuck in recurring conflict, struggling with mismatched desire, or trying to rebuild trust and connection after betrayal or rupture.
I also work individually with women who feel disconnected from desire, pleasure, sexual confidence, or their bodies, particularly during periods of stress, burnout, parenting, perimenopause, menopause, or other life transitions. My work may also include anxiety or shame around intimacy, neurodiversity and relationship dynamics, and the impact of past experiences on sexuality and connection.
I’m especially well suited for clients who want to understand what is happening beneath the surface and create relationships and intimate lives that feel more connected, authentic, and sustainable.
Approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel understood and supported, while also having space to look honestly at patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I integrate sex therapy, attachment-based work, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and evidence-based couples approaches, tailoring our work to you rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
With couples, I help slow down difficult patterns, strengthen communication, rebuild emotional and physical connection, and create practical changes outside the therapy room. With individuals, we may explore desire, pleasure, confidence, relationships, identity, or life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, sex-positive, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
My work is informed not only by over 15 years of clinical experience, but also by a deep understanding of how complex, evolving, and nonlinear relationships and sexuality can be across the lifespan.
I recognize that desire, identity, and connection are not fixed—they shift with stress, life transitions, parenthood, aging, and personal growth. This perspective allows me to meet clients without judgment or rigid expectations, and to support them in redefining what intimacy and fulfillment look like for them now.
I approach this work with authenticity, curiosity, and respect for each client’s unique story.
More About My Practice
I offer a private-pay, telehealth practice for adults and couples seeking specialized support for relationships, intimacy, and sexual wellness. I work with clients throughout Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, South Carolina, and Ohio, allowing you to meet from the privacy and convenience of your own space.
As a PhD-level clinician and Board-Certified Sex Therapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience, I bring advanced training in couples work, sexuality, intimacy, and relational health. Sessions are typically 50 minutes, with extended sessions available when clinically helpful. I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation so we can talk briefly about what brings you to therapy, answer questions, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
