I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified sex therapist offering secure telehealth across Connecticut, New York, and Michigan. You’re probably not here because things are fine. Something in your intimate life, your relationship, your body, or your sense of yourself as a sexual person isn’t working the way you want it to. You’ve reached the point where you’re ready to actually do something about it. That takes courage. It tells me something important about you. I’m an LCSW and certified sex therapist. This work is the center of my practice, not a sideline. I focus on women’s sexual health, sexual and pelvic pain, desire discrepancy, postpartum concerns, menopause, and couples therapy for intimacy challenges.

Whatever brings you here, nothing requires an explanation or an apology. My approach is direct and clinically grounded. We start by naming what’s actually happening, not just the presenting problem, but the real thing underneath it: shame, avoidance, disconnection, grief. We work with what’s true. From there, we build language for the things that are hard to say. We work toward changes that actually hold. I practice as a mental health therapist via secure telehealth.
