I help people come home to their bodies, their desires, and themselves.

I'm Michelle, a sex therapist, psychotherapist, and public health practitioner based in New York. My work sits at the intersection of three things I love deeply: the intimate work of one-on-one therapy, the cultural conversation around sex and bodies, and the systems-level work of public health.

My path started in the therapy room, with clinical training as a social worker and years of one-on-one work with individuals and couples, and grew outward into sexual and reproductive health policy and public health research. That order matters: the clinical work is the center, and the public health lens is how I understand the world that shaped each person in front of me.

My practice is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that pleasure, curiosity, and self-knowledge are part of being well, not extras. I work with people of all genders, orientations, body sizes, and relationship structures, including those navigating chronic sexual pain.

Outside of clinical work, I consult with women's health startups, helping founders and teams build care that is clinically sound, sex-positive, and actually inclusive.

I'm a member of Wise Therapy and practice under the clinical supervision of Dr. Lisa Brown.
