“We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” – Brené Brown

Sex, sexuality, and relationships are integral to our well-being, but challenges in these areas can often feel isolating and overwhelming. I enjoy helping individuals and couples navigate concerns such as low or mismatched desire, sexual anxiety, difficulty with orgasm, sexual trauma, infidelity, and life transitions that impact intimacy. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and couples in the perinatal period, helping them navigate postpartum adjustment and its effects on intimacy, self-image, and relationships.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am dedicated to creating an affirming, inclusive space for all identities, relationship structures, and backgrounds. I also enjoy supporting those exploring sexual identity, gender identity, nonmonogamy, and other aspects of sexual and relational wellness. Drawing on my school background, I also enjoy seeing teens going through any of these concerns and more.

My approach is individualized and collaborative, drawing from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Adlerian Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in the power of encouragement and empowerment, helping clients recognize their strengths and take meaningful steps toward growth and connection.

Before we dive into deeper work, we’ll take time to build trust and rapport in a safe, nonjudgmental space. As we progress, I may gently challenge unhelpful patterns to help you gain new perspectives and create lasting change. And yes, I bring my authentic self into the space, which means humor and lightness will occasionally make an appearance—because therapy doesn’t always have to be all seriousness!

I offer a free 30-minute consultation to answer any questions and help determine if we’re a good fit. I look forward to working with you to build confidence, deepen connections, and embrace a fulfilling, authentic sexual and relational life.

I hold a Master of Arts degree in marriage and family therapy from. I am currently being trained in sex therapy.

Thank you for taking the time, energy and courage to consider what starting or continuing therapy may look like for you and/or someone you care about.

I work with individuals 18+, in particular women, especially those: experiencing anxiety, dealing with a sexual concern, going through a life phase/transition and those in the perinatal period (pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond). I also see couples, including those: looking to enrich their relationship, who need help with low/no sex, and those transitioning to parenthood or adjusting to new parenthood, including returning to intimacy. I enjoy working with those navigating non-traditional or alternative relationship structures, such as: swinging, open relationships, polyamory or ethical non-monogamy, and/or the kink community.

Further, I see the value of ‘relational work,’ looking not only into oneself, but offering curiosities and challenges in regards to how all of the systems in our lives impact our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as who we have been, who we are and who we want to become. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Gottman Therapy as general therapeutic approaches

I know the power of creating the time and space for one to be seen and heard. I look forward to collaborating with you to moreso live the life you desire.
I believe a ‘good fit’ is the best predictor of a positive therapeutic experience, with the client needing to feel comfortable with the clinician, as a means to build trust and increase vulnerability to achieve one’s therapeutic goals. Please reach out for a free consultation so we can begin this conversation about what you may be looking for and if I could be of support to you.

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
Relationship & Sex Therapist


​I am a licensed independent clinical social worker through the state of Minnesota and hold a master’s degree from Augsburg University, where I taught as an adjunct professor for three years. I also currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health. I have nearly 10 years of experience in the mental health field.

My goal is to help you attain your goals regarding sexual health and relationships, whatever they are. I believe a foundational part of that is gaining comfort and confidence in discussing sexuality, emotions, and relationships.
Before getting to the “work” of therapy we will focus on establishing a basis of trust and rapport. When applicable, I will gently challenge any cognitive distortions (“thinking errors”) that present themselves. You might be surprised both by how frequently these can surface and how readily you are able to identify them! My hope is that through the therapeutic relationship you uncover other supports that can help you actualize these goals and maintain fulfilling dialogues about your health and wellness.
​
I have worked extensively with and am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I enjoy working through a variety of areas including but not limited to sexual orientation, gender identity, kink, nonmonogamy, libido concerns, infidelity, adolescent sexuality, and erectile dysfunction, as well as general sexual health and relationship concerns.

I also really enjoy helping clients explore sexual behaviors that may feel problematic or out of control. I incorporate evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy interventions into my work, and find that a blend of accountability and compassion is helpful to clients in adhering to their boundaries and attaining their goals. 
I also have extensive experience working with substance abuse disorders. I welcome any client who wants to discuss substance use both generally and how it intersects with sexuality.

I look forward to meeting with you and beginning our work together!

Prelicensed Therapist


I hold a Bachelors of Science degree in English Education from New York University and a Master of Education in Counseling & Guidance from City University of New York, Hunter College. I am also a Certified Mental Health Coach from Headspace Training Institute, and a Certified Grief Educator.

Growing up in New York, I learned and frequently observed the power of expression. I incorporate this into my style; I speak freely and directly in a warm environment to help my clients discover their voice. Through systemic conditioning, patriarchal environments, and Puritan values that haunt our true desire to be seen and heard, I encourage my clients to understand themselves without these masks we’ve been forced to wear through these systems, trauma, and unprocessed grief.

I incorporate a holistic approach to therapy, utilizing Feminist Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I am passionate about working with clients with a sex-positive framework on sex, sexuality, and sexual identity/exploration. In particular, I enjoy working with out of control sexual behavior, sexual pain, and erectile/orgasmic concerns.
​
With my background starting in the school system, I welcome clients from adolescence through adulthood. In addition to being a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, my office is a safe space for neurodivergent identifying folx to be heard with an affirmative mindset on how their neurodivergence impacts sexual exploration and connection.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. However, there is good news! As the saying goes… “We can’t pick our family, but we can pick our…” therapist!


I offer individual therapy for ages 13 and up, as well as relational and couples therapy. I hold a Bachelor degree in Dance & Minor in Addiction Studies from Minnesota State University-Mankato, a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary’s University, and a Graduate Certificate in Sex Therapy from the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

I have extensive experience working with artists in transition, spiritual concerns, addiction recovery, diverse relationship structures, out of control sexual behavior, mismatched desire, sexual dysfunctions, and more. I am passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and survivors of conversion therapy (also known as reparative therapy). Despite bans on conversion therapy in several Minnesota cities and its classification as torture by the United Nations, it remains practiced in some areas. I am passionate about helping individuals find peace, safety, and validation for their identities, supporting clients in building community, whether through healing family wounds or creating chosen families.

The conflict between identity and religion often affects those from non-dominant cultures. Survivors of Adverse Religious Experiences (ARE) may face issues like familial abandonment, community isolation, and harm from purity culture. My work as a sex therapist intersects significantly with addressing these experiences. By encouraging open discussions about sexuality, we can explore how these topics impact overall mental health, including relational intimacy, libido concerns, performance anxiety, and past events affecting sexual connection.
As a relational and couples therapist, I draw on my personal experiences to support diverse perspectives. Growing up in a mixed religious and cultural household has fueled my passion for helping people navigate conflicts, whether related to politics, finances, or family traditions. I’m here to support all paths, whether that means staying together or choosing to separate.

Before becoming a therapist, I earned a degree in Dance and remain active in the performing arts. I also incorporate movement into my practice, recognizing its importance in healing. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences are held in the body and discuss nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness to enhance your overall well-being.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging, and I’m here to help, whether that’s with me or another clinician. I look forward to meeting you!

Since the COVID pandemic, finding a therapist who accepts your insurance and meets your specialty needs has become increasingly competitive. While my sessions are fee-for-service, I offer a sliding scale for some clients. I’m dedicated to advocating for BIPOC, LGBTQ, refugees, artists, and survivors of spiritual abuse. If you identify with these groups and are facing financial hardship, please inform our administrative office to discuss service costs during your appointment.

Picture

I hold a Master of Science in Marriage & Family Therapy from University of Wisconsin-Stout, where I also enjoy teaching as an adjunct instructor. I have extensive training and experience in working with sexual concerns of any kind. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a specialized way of working with trauma. I also have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field.

Much of the work I do involves helping couples or individuals who, for whatever reason, are not having the kind of sex life they want to have. This could be due to: recent life transitions that have put sex at a low priority, low/mismatched desire, erectile dysfunction, early ejaculation, sexual trauma, sexual pain, and more. I enjoy helping couples bring back sexual enjoyment who cannot quite identify why it got lost in the first place. One particular area I enjoy working with is individuals or couples who are struggling with sex after a cancer diagnosis. 
I am passionate about helping those with gender identity or sexual orientation exploration and those in non-traditional relationships (poly, swinging, open marriages, kink, etc).


Many couples also find themselves experiencing life transitions or issues unrelated to sex concerns. I can definitely help there too! I have special interest in working with: high conflict couples, couples considering divorce, and blended families. When appropriate, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples.

I work to make everyone who enters my office feel comfortable and confident that we can work collaboratively to get to a better place for you. I am happy to answer any questions about beginning the process of therapy and also offer a free 30 minute consultation appointment to help you determine if we are a good fit.

Part of my work as a therapist has also been facilitating presentations and workshops on the topic of sexuality and sex therapy to the public, graduate students, and therapists. I have presented at the local and national level. I look forward to continue to do more of this in the future and welcome the opportunity to do so.
​
I also offer supervision, internships, and consultation to therapists. ​I am an LMFT board-approved & AAMFT approved supervisor for those seeking their LMFT and LPCC licensure.
