"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

Telehealth has made therapy more accessible, convenient, safe and comfortable for many people. You can maintain social distancing and safety while continuing your healing journey. With a strong internet connection or clear telephone service, this option can serve you from the comfort of your own home or on a walk outside. Intimate Inquiries was founded to help individuals, partners, and families improve sexual health and overall wellness through embodied awareness, integration of values though action, and the cultivation of compassion and pleasure. At Intimate Inquiries, there is a deep commitment to providing accurate, affirming, and honest information about sexuality and relationships and a safe and confidential space to explore and embrace how these elements fit into your unique blueprint. Clients who have the courage to show up with all of their vulnerability and are highly motivated to look within get the most out of our work together. Therapy can help you identify, articulate, and re-structure unhelpful patterns. By brining awareness to old conditioning with compassion and curiosity, new paths of resiliency and power can be forged leading to living a more satisfying and intentional life. Through building connection, compassion, and integration, therapy can help people develop more balanced and satisfying relationships. Intimate Inquiries specifically focuses on sex therapy. Sex Therapy can encompass many issues that range from desire, arousal, and orgasm issues, body image, sexual functioning, intimacy and pleasure, communication, trauma, and major life changes. Sexual issues are often time the presenting issue that clients bring into therapy, however, the work tends to dive deep into other arenas of life that intersect with sexual health such as attachment, regulation, and erotic conflicts.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and AASECT certified sex therapist (CST). I specialize in sex therapy.
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, integrate past traumas, and foster presence can have profound impacts on ones life. Intimate Inquiries was founded in order to help those who are suffering find joy, meaning, pleasure, and health in their lives and their relationships. I enjoys helping people thrive and rediscover their lust for life's experiences. Navigating charged topics, especially related to sex and intimacy, is an essential part of working with me. I invite my clients to get curious with their experience, and practice honestly expressing their inner wisdom. My approach is strength-based and aligned with sexual health principles. |

Auburn is trained in CPT which is an empirically supported gold standard modality for addressing trauma safely and effectively.
