Sex Therapy
Supporting Women and LGBT+ with Sexual Health and Wellbeing Online in B.C.
“Sexual health is health.
Sexual health is a part of your overall health and quality of life.”
— Dr. Lori Brotto
Sexuality is one of the most beautiful, powerful and expansive forces that we get to experience, as beings, in this human experience.
Our sexuality is woven into how we live, how we love and how we create.
Our sexuality is deeply connected to how we relate to ourselves, our bodies, our histories and with others we are in relationship with.
It can be one of the most beautiful parts of our human experience and the most brutal, hurtful and devastating when it is shamed through religion, culture or media, or injured through various forms of abuse.
Pleasure can be a healing force in your body.
Pleasure can soften stress, reduce pain and can connect us to the present moment. Pleasure can also be a form of healing and medicine for our minds, bodies and spirits.
Whether you're newly dating or a in new relationship, healing from shame or trauma, exploring gender and identity or simply wanting a deeper connection to your erotic mind and erotic self — this is a space where all topics related to your sexuality, are welcome.
Sex-Positive, Trauma-Informed, Sex Therapy
Offering sex-positive, trauma-informed, therapy for Women and Queer people that centers you — your values, your embodied consent and your unique experiences.
My approach is inclusive and affirming, drawing from ongoing training in clinical sex therapy, pleasure-focused, health education and intersectional frameworks.

Journal Invitations
These journal prompts offer a moment to connect with yourself — a gentle invitation to explore with curiosity, care and compassion.
These prompts are grounded in the principles of sex therapy and mindful presence, they can support you to reflect on your holistic, erotic, embodied and sexual self.
I invite you to be here now, and allow yourself to be present, attentive and non-judgmental — just notice what comes up and meet yourself exactly where you are at, in this moment.
