I founded Intimate Inquiries to help people improve their sexual health, relationships, and overall wellness. My approach is curiosity-focused and judgment-free, I create a safe, confidential space where you can explore your authentic sexual self.
Therapy can help people identify and restructure unhelpful patterns, raise awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions, and forge new paths toward resilience, pleasure, and personal power.
Sex therapy can address a wide range of concerns, desire and arousal, attachment, communication, infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior, porn addiction, orgasm difficulties, body image, sexual confidence, trauma, and major life transitions. While sexual issues are often what brings people in, the work frequently goes deeper into attachment, emotional regulation, and the erotic conflicts that shape who we are.

Perfectionism

Identity & Integration

Letting go of Perfectionism can be terrifying and feel like your losing control. I can help you free yourself from limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns and help you see yourself with gentle eyes. Learn how to loosen the tight grip of overbearing expectations and unhealthy standards while gaining more effective tools to accomplish your goals and manage anxiety. Identify and reform people-pleasing behaviors and become more assertive in communicating your wants and needs.

Feeling content, confident, and at home in your body and mind is essential for happiness. Therapy provides a safe and compassionate space to explore topics of gender, gender expression, sexuality, orientation, identity, family systems, and pleasure to work towards becoming more embodied.
