I’m a certified sex therapist, but I’m also a mother of three, in a long-term relationship, navigating desire, exhaustion, connection, and everything in between in real time.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Where did my desire go?” or “Is this just what happens in long-term relationships?” You’re not alone.

You’re not broken. And you don’t have to settle.

What I Do

I provide thoughtful, honest, and practical guidance on sex, desire, intimacy, and relationships, remote and free of charge.

As a sex therapist, I support women and couples navigating:

  • low libido and loss of desire

  • intimacy after kids

  • disconnection in long-term relationships

  • body image and sexual confidence

  • communication, vulnerability, and emotional intimacy

  • the impact of stress, responsibility, and cognitive load on sex and desire

This isn’t about performance, pressure, or perfection.

It’s about understanding what’s actually happening, and finding a way forward that feels real.

What I Believe

I don’t believe desire simply disappears.

I believe it gets deprioritized. Buried under responsibility. Shaped by the messages we’ve been taught, but can unlearn.

My work is grounded in a simple but powerful idea:

Desire is something we cultivate.

Sex isn’t just a physical act. It’s connection. It’s play. It’s identity.

And it can evolve, and even deepen, over time.

Why Me

I’m a certified sex therapist and licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working at the intersection of relationships, identity, and human behavior.

But I’m not just speaking from theory.

I’m in a long-term relationship.
I’m a mother.
I’ve lived the tension between exhaustion and desire, and I’ve learned that both can exist at the same time.

I’m not outside of this conversation. I’m in it.

What Makes This Different

You won’t find gimmicks, scripts, or “10 ways to fix your sex life” here.

My approach is:

  • honest, not performative

  • grounded, not prescriptive

  • rooted in both clinical expertise & lived experience

I speak to women as capable, agentic, sexual beings, not problems to be solved.

You don’t need to be fixed.
You need space, understanding, and a different framework.

Common Questions I Help With

  • Why has my sex drive disappeared?

  • Is it normal to lose desire in a long-term relationship?

  • How do I reconnect with my partner after kids?

  • Why do I feel disconnected, even when nothing is “wrong”?

  • How can I feel confident and sexual in my body again?

Can sex actually get better over time?

Who This Is For

This space is for women who:

  • feel disconnected from their desire

  • want more intimacy and connection in their relationship

  • are navigating motherhood, work, and identity

  • are tired of surface-level advice

  • are ready for honest, real conversations about sex

I will be your trusted girlfriend, who happens to be a therapist. You can confide in me & ask the real questions you’ve been too afraid to ask your partner or too shy to bring up with close friends.

As a clinician of over 15 years & certified sex therapist, a mother of 3, and a partner of 18 years, I bring professional expertise and lived-in authenticity. I’m not settling for boring sex or lack of desire and neither should you.

There is no question too “weird”, no conversation too private, and no situation that cannot be improved.

We all need someone to talk to, but time and money are limited. I’m offering free advice, support, and guidance.
