About Me
I am a New York City based somatic sexologist & relationship coach trained through the Somatica Institute,™ accredited by the American Board of Sexology. My work weaves somatic therapy, sacred sexuality, nervous system regulation, and the science of female arousal into a deeply experiential, body-led approach.
I’ve been empowering women around their bodies since 2015. Before becoming a sexologist, I ran a digital maternal health company - a role that opened my eyes to how profoundly women’s lives, identities, and relationships are shaped by the stories we inherit about our bodies.
Today, I also serve on the advisory board of Maude, a modern sexual wellness company reshaping the cultural and educational landscape of intimacy. My work there focuses on elevating evidence-based sexual health and broadening the narrative of what pleasure, desire, and embodiment can look like for all people.
What makes this work different …
Traditional sex therapy is talk-based.
Traditional coaching is mindset-based.
My work is body-based.
We don’t just talk about intimacy, we practice it, feel it, and experience it in real time.
Your nervous system learns through sensation, not theory.
Your erotic identity lives in your tissues, not your thoughts.
Sex happens in the body; it’s often the mind that gets in the way.
In session, we explore emotion, sensation, boundaries, desire, expression, and relational dynamics through somatic practices so your body can actually re-pattern old stories and open to new possibilities.
You will get the real me - not a blank therapeutic slate - because our relationship becomes a living laboratory where you learn to trust, express, receive, expand, and be met.
We follow what keeps you from living your fullest, most gorgeous life.
We laugh, cry, shake, play, and rage.
And if vulnerability terrifies you?
Good. That means you’re exactly where you need to be.
I was once deeply uncomfortable in this work too. But somatic practice transformed my life and my marriage more profoundly than years of traditional therapy ever did.
This work brought me home to myself. And I’d be honored to help you find your way back to you.

I grew up in a conservative, religious community.
I followed every rule.
I colored inside every line.
No one - including me - imagined I’d end up here.
I didn’t come into this work because I was particularly sexual or passionate about pleasure.
I came here because I needed this healing myself.
I’ve been with my husband for almost two decades. I always thought we had a great sex life… until after I had my first daughter. Penetration suddenly became painful.
Doctors told me it was normal, or to push through, have a glass of wine, or - my personal favorite - ‘use it or lose it.’
Years went by, the pain didn’t resolve.
And despite being a well-resourced, intelligent woman - I quickly realized how few sexual medicine experts actually exist for women.
Without the right support, I did what so many of us do:
I pushed through.
I tolerated.
I endured.
And I taught my body that sex was unsafe.
And once I finally found a doctor who addressed the hormonal piece, I was still left on my own to reconnect to pleasure.
The pain resolved… but I was numb.
No desire.
No sensation.
No orgasm.
I couldn’t even remember I once enjoyed sex.
So I went on a journey to relocate this part of me.
And it blasted me open.
What I discovered didn’t just change my sex life - it changed everything.
My confidence rose.
My boundaries strengthened.
My marriage transformed.
The self-critical voices softened their grip.
I started taking bigger risks.
I even walked down the street differently.
I felt more alive than I had in years.
That’s when I knew.
This work isn’t just about sex …
It’s about the woman you become when you reclaim your pleasure.
The “good sex” I thought I was having before was barely scratching the surface.
Most women don’t even know what’s possible for them. Because sex lives in the shadows, we don’t talk about it. And because we’ve inherited a heteronormative, patriarchal, shame-filled narrative about pleasure - we’re operating with the wrong map.
Today, after almost two decades with the same partner, I’m having the best sex of my life.
And I’m not special.
I’m just resourced. Informed. Trained.
And I want that for you too.
Not only for the pleasure, but for the woman you become on the way to holding that much aliveness in your body.
How I got here…
MY MISSION
I don’t want to help you heal, I want to help you thrive.
I want to help you live an ecstatic, joyful, orgasmic life in your full power.
I want you to feel the freedom and lightness when you liberate yourself from shame and patriarchal narratives designed to keep you small.
I want to help you quiet the outside noise - the “shoulds,” the judgments, the fears - so that you can connect to your own voice.
And then I want to help you use that voice to ask for what you want and confidently draw boundaries where you don’t.
I want you to know how to tap into to the erotic well that already exists within you so you can experience energy and aliveness whenever you feel like it.
I want you to stop faking orgasm or focusing on others’ pleasure before your own.
I want you to know you’re not broken and your body has more capacity for pleasure than anyone ever let you believe.
I want you to know your shadows, so they no longer control you.
I want you to ride the emotional waves life brings without getting swallowed by them.
I want you to know your body, and then I want to teach you how to share it with others.
I want you to fall head over heels with yourself and be your own best lover.
I want you to know how worthy of love you are.
I want you to feel how delicious intimacy can be when you share yourself vulnerably.
I want to help you surrender into the soft, nurturing, joyful intimacy of deep relationships.
I want you to feel the aliveness that comes with awakening the erotic being inside you.
All of this, and more, is within reach. Because she’s already there. She just needs to feel safe to come out. My mission is to give you the tools you need to deeply, profoundly, unconditionally love your whole self.
