Licensed Mental Health Counselor | Couples and Sex Therapist
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and a couples and sex therapist. I work with partners and individuals on intimacy, communication, conflict, desire, and emotional safety, and with couples rebuilding after betrayal.
I believe connection, attachment, and pleasure are central parts of being human, not extras. I am interested in how identity, culture, trauma, gender, ability, neurodivergence, and sexuality shape the way each of us connects, to other people and to ourselves. What matters most to me is that the room feels safe enough to talk about any of it without shame.

How I Work
I do not sit in the room as the expert on your relationship. You are. My job is to help the two of you find the strength, the self-compassion, and the practical tools to build the relationship you want, rather than to hand down an assessment of it.
Sessions are collaborative and hands-on. I offer tools and resources you can return to between sessions, and I also work experientially, which means we look at what is happening between you in the room rather than only discussing it afterward.
