Meet Romi, licensed psychotherapist & AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist
I entered the field of psychotherapy out of a deep curiosity about the stories we carry and how they shape the way we move through the world.
That curiosity continues to guide my work today. Together, we’ll approach your experiences with warmth and openness, creating space to explore, learn, and grow without fear of judgment.
Integrative Care for Painful Sex
Painful sex takes many forms, including vaginismus, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, or pain after childbirth or menopause. This experience can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and our partners, and many describe feeling "broken," hopeless, or alone.
Our work can foster connection rooted in resilience and agency, rather than shame or self-blame.
Whether you are taking your first steps toward addressing pain with sex or have been navigating it for years, I am here to meet you where you are.
