My Story:

I have always had a comfort discussing sex and intimacy. Picture the kid on the playground who was the go to sexpert for early birds and bees questions.

Initially, I tried to channel this comfort into becoming an OB/GYN. While interning in medical settings in college, I volunteered for a sexual assault crisis hotline and soon realized that what I really valued was building the human connection necessary to get through vulnerable moments.

My alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis, has an acclaimed program in social work and a specialization in sexual health and therapy—I happily immersed myself.

Through graduate school and beyond, I have learned that relationships with ourselves and others are a critical source of healing and peace. I would be honored to help you access that potential.

In addition to engaging with clients directly, I enjoy helping other clinicians grow and develop. I accomplish this through clinical supervision, consultations, trainings, and guest speaking.

In 2020, I joined the faculty at Denver Family Institute, a local post graduate program for marriage and family therapists.  There, I teach “Sexual Diversity, Attitudes, and Behaviors,” a course that explores a wide range of sexual expressions including kinks, fetishes, and sex work.

Outside of my work connecting with others, you will typically find me outdoors camping, fishing or, most often, reading in a hammock (speculative fiction and novels diving into family dynamics preferred) or working on my next knitting project with my purring cat or overzealous dog near while I watch a good movie.
