Best Queer Sex Therapist in Colorado
Sex Therapy for Baby Queers and Questioning Folks
Exploring your sexuality and sexual identity as a baby queer, LGBTQ+ person, or as someone questioning your queerness can be scary!
You fear that you will lose close relationships, be asked questions you are not ready to answer, or be rejected by those you love. Oof. 💔
As therapist based in Littleton, CO, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express your anxieties, fears, and hesitations about coming out in 2025.
I am currently accepting new clients both online in my sexuality therapy practice. Schedule a vibe check to start the conversation.
I understand that straying from heteronormativity is daunting, to say the least. Especially if you have been “straight” forever.
Talking about sex and sexuality is deeply personal, and for most of my sex therapy clients in Littleton, they’re overwhelmed when they come to me.
When I meet my clients they say:
I don’t know where to start. Dealing with this is too much. 😐
My questions are “too weird” or “too embarrassing” to address in therapy. 😳
My last therapist sucked and wasted my time (and money, and energy).💸
You expect me to talk to a STRANGER about the thing I have never, ever talked to anyone about, like not even my sister, or my best friend, or my journal, or my husband?! Yeah, no. 📖
My partner(s) don't want to talk about sexuality in our relationship. 🤫
As sex therapist, it is my job to provide a safe space for you explore and express your true self.
That’s right. It is literally my job to not judge you. I know it’s hard to believe, but I mean it sincerely when I say, I will not judge you.
There is nothing I love more than:
Co-creating sessions as a space for you to show up authentically. 🌈
You getting exactly what you need out of your therapy. 🌈
The relief on your face when I tell you that the thing you are really scared to tell me (or anyone) about is normal.🌈
Helping you stay curious and process assumptions that may have been wrong.🌈
Leading conversations about gender and sex and relationship.🌈
Watching you grow and thrive, the way you were always meant to 🥹🌈🌈🌈
My approach to working with baby queer and questioning individuals is simple:
You are human and so am I.
I use my formal training (LCSW, M.Ed.) and lived experience (cis, bisexual, queer, woman) to support you.
In my therapy practice, I show up authentically so that you can too.
You deserve support. You deserve respect. You deserve to be yourself.
Understanding Queer Sex Therapy

What to Expect in a Session

I want to work with a queer sex therapist, are you queer?
Yes, I am queer. As a bisexual, queer sex therapist in Littleton, CO I provide sex therapy to people of all identities, but I specialize in working with baby queer and LGBTQ+ individuals. I believe that our experiences in the world are deeply impacted by who we are. I find that my clients like having a sex therapist who holds the same, or similar, identities because it means that I know what it’s like to move through the world in a certain way.
To be clear, being queer is not a monolithic experience. Your experiences are yours, mine are mine. However, there is something rad about having queer sex therapy with a queer sex therapist– trust me.
Can you help me come out?
Absolutely. Coming out is a personal, iterative process. There is no right or wrong way to “come out,” but I can provide practical guidance on who to come out to and when based on your relationships and goals. We will consider your hesitations, safety, and hopes in order to craft an individualized plan of action. Communication is key.
