I was raised in a rural conservative town where I had my own experiences with deconstructing purity culture and understanding pleasure. As a trauma survivor who struggled with self-esteem and body image, I knew I wanted to provide others with the hope of change, which led me to become a sex therapist. On the journey to where I am today, I spent six years of my life living in west Texas, attending Texas Tech University (wreck ‘em!), where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master’s degree in Couples, Marriage, and Family Therapy. For the past couple of years, I have primarily worked with children who have experienced various forms of abuse, especially sexual. That is where I discovered my interest in trauma and sexuality work. Although I loved working with children on overcoming sexual trauma and exploring gender identity, sexuality, and creativity, I am beyond excited to trade in my Uno cards and crayons for sex toys and erotica.
