"Each scene has its own music, and the music is created for the scene, woven to it in ways we do not understand. No matter how much we may love the melody of the bygone day or imagine the song of a future one, we must dance with the music of today or we will always be out of step, stumbling around in something that doesn't suit the moment." - Lisa Wingate

I believe that nurturing a healthy, balanced, and satisfying relationship with oneself and others can promote a meaningful life. Learning how to navigate the unexpected obstacles, past traumas, and life's constant inevitable change can be a daunting task that leaves many hopeless and struggling. Intimate Inquiries was founded in order to help those who are suffering find joy, meaning, desire, intimacy, and health in their lives and their relationships. I enjoy helping people thrive and rediscover their lust for life's experiences. |
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and AASECT certified sex therapist (CST). I specialize in sex therapy for individuals and couples.
I enjoy helping my clients navigate difficult topics, especially related to sex and intimacy. I help my clients discuss complex issues with more ease and confidence. I aim to create space and opportunities for families and couples to have more open, honest conversations regarding sex, love, gender and health. My approach is strength-based and rooted in empathy, humor, and flexibility to cater to each individuals specific needs. It is my privilege to work with people who have the courage to show up, be vulnerable, and commit to their health and happiness. With some hard work and creativity from both you and myself, I believe that together we can create lasting positive change in your relationships, yourself, and your unique sexual identity. |
