I am a full-time private practice clinical somatic sexologist, certified hypnotherapist, plant medicine advocate, transformational life & erotic coach, in addition to, professional development coach and trainer. How I do it... With an intersectional and decolonizing lens, my therapeutic approach is healing-centered that is trauma-responsive, kink-aware, and pleasuring affirming. My specialties include, but not limited to, relationship & intimacy (monogamous and non-monogamous), anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder/PTSD, post-traumatic growth, sexual trauma, sexual healing, and sexual liberation, in addition to, sexuality and gender development.

I also provide post DEI consulting, in addition to, create curriculums informed by my scholarship & my interventions Intersectional Cognitive Behavior Therapy & Approach (I-CBT), SHIFT: An Emotional Coaching System, HTES, and Somatic Sex Therapy. I am also very proud to be part of teams who are curating the next generation of coaching professionals, JRNI Coaching, and social & healing movement support, TRACC4Movement.
