My Journey

I am a cultural zebra, as I have lived in Germany for 30 years and at the West Coast for 25 years. I am the mother of two boys, have lost a baby during childbirth, and struggled with infertility. I have lived in a rural intentional community and also celebrated most aspects of Berlin's sex-positive culture. I am divorced, and currently live with my partner and dog in Oregon.

Claiming my sexuality from layers of cultural shame, false information, societal expectations, and personal trauma has been deeply rewarding. I firmly believe that this transformational work holds the key to a deeper sense of well-being and joy. Examining connections of pain and longing, opening and trust, intimacy and desire from different perspectives enables me to meet my clients with an experienced and balanced foundation as a sexual therapist.

I do not judge or moralize lifestyles, sexual orientation, relationship models, or flavors of erotic desires, and would be deeply honored to support you in your process of opening up.
