You want intimacy to feel less like an obligation, have communication and connection, and finally identify and share your needs… but shame, anxiety, and your past diminish those needs by negative self-talk

You’re in the right place. I’m here with you to help unlearn negative constructs on sex, rebuild pleasure, and reconnect with yourself and your partner.

If you’re here, you might be feeling…

⟡ Disconnected from your body or unsure how to access desire

⟡ Shame around sexuality, pleasure, or your needs

⟡ Impact from purity culture, religion, or cultural messages about sex

⟡ Difficulty feeling safe in intimacy or vulnerable communication

⟡ Painful sexual experiences, pelvic pain, or anxiety in your body

⟡ Mismatched libidos or ongoing conflict around sex in your relationship

⟡ Lingering resentment, distance, or emotional disconnection

⟡ Like parts of yourself had to shrink in order to feel “good enough”

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. Many people were taught to silence their needs, fear their sexuality, or disconnect from their bodies in order to belong. These experiences can leave you feeling stuck, in your body, in your relationships, and in your life. Healing doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. Often, it means gently untangling the stories and survival strategies that once helped you cope.

You deserve a relationship with your body, your sexuality, and your partner that feels safe, connected, and fully yours.
But for many people, shame, past experiences, and cultural messages about sex can make intimacy feel confusing, overwhelming, or distant.

Therapy is a space where you can begin to rediscover what feels true, safe, and alive for you. Together, we might explore how your body, history, and identity shape your relationship with intimacy and pleasure. We’ll create space to name your desires, understand your boundaries, and rebuild trust within yourself and your relationships.This work isn’t about forcing change or fixing you. It’s about helping you reconnect; to your body, your voice, and the people you care about.

How Sex Therapy Support Clients

My approach is trauma-informed, sex-positive, and anti-oppressive. As a systems therapist, I look at the many contexts that shape your experience; family, culture, religion, relationships, and identity. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to what actually fits your life and your goals.

In our work together, I aim to bring:

⟡ Warmth and authenticity

⟡ Humor and humanity

⟡ Deep respect for your story

⟡ Collaboration and curiosity

My Story

Light purple plain background with no distinct objects or features.

I grew up in a rural, conservative Christian town in Texas, where sex was often framed as something to fear or avoid. As a naturally curious person, I wanted to understand the very thing we were told not to think about, talk about, or explore. That curiosity became a lifelong passion of educating others about sex positivity. In undergrad, I dove into every course I could on human sexuality and relationships, eventually engaging in research focused on addiction, sexual trauma, and intimacy.

My therapeutic career began at an advocacy center supporting children who had experienced abuse, most of it sexual in nature. That experience shaped the foundation of my work, helping people find safety in their bodies and reclaim their voices. Over time, my practice expanded beyond work with teens to include adults and couples navigating trauma, intimacy, and desire. My specialties are deeply connected to my own story, which informs how I show up, with authenticity, compassion, and genuine understanding.

Outside of session, I’m a wife, an eldest daughter, a friend, and the proud caretaker of two fur babies, a scaly critter, and far too many houseplants. I love to keep my mind active through crafts, puzzles, travel, and, yes, plenty of reality TV. You’ll almost always find me with a homemade iced latte in hand. I like to say my home is in Texas but my heart is in the PNW!
