Sex Therapist & Certified Body Trust® Provider

My therapeutic approach will vary from client to client depending on individual needs, and my broad approach to therapy comes from believing that there are multiple and coexisting truths in the world: there is no one “right” way to be in this world.

I aim to facilitate dialogue so you can create new meanings about your experiences, experience a positive relationship with yourself, and experience healing. As I do not think I can ever truly know what it is like to be someone else, I do not think of myself as an “expert problem-solver.” Rather, I consider myself to be someone that can help you uncover your own personal truths, power, and voice through the creation of a compassionate and warm relationship. My educational, professional, and personal journeys have centered on issues of social justice and human sexuality, and I am happy to be working at Quest where these issues are given preference and respect.

I provide sex therapy, which can mean focusing on issues of sexual and erotic behavior, function, desire, libido, and pain; gender identity, expression, and transition-related questions and challenges; sexual orientation; and relationship negotiation. I also offer relational therapy for couples and moresomes. I have a great deal of experience with and knowledge about LGBTQIA+, ethically nonmonogamous, and kinky relationships, identities, and orientations. In addition, I have experience with and knowledge about sex work, and approach work in the sex industry in an affirming way. I have worked in the sexual and domestic violence prevention and intervention field and understand both the trauma and resilience that come from abusive relationships.

I operate from weight-inclusive, HAES (Health At Every Size), and Body Trust frameworks, and offer curiosity and compassion around body acceptance work. I am passionate about relationship health, choice, consent, and self-awareness, and strive to be an open hearted person who creates a safe and welcoming space for clients so they can discover new things about themselves. I am a queer cis woman with straight-sized privilege, and do my best to hold my awareness of how my identities intersect with my client’s and to talk about how these similarities and differences impact our work.

In my free time, I gain strength and relaxation from being in the sun, baking, reading, writing, moving my body, and spending time with my partner, family, and animals. I graduated with my BA from UC Berkeley in Peace & Conflict Studies, and my MPH and MSW from Portland State. I am licensed through the state of Oregon as a clinical social worker, and I am a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Therapists, and Counselors. I am a Certified Body Trust® Provider and continue to deepen my awareness and understanding of weight inclusive and fat liberationist care. In addition, I have received the core EMDR training and am happy to offer that as one way to address various kinds of trauma.
