About Karli
As a queer, feminist, anti-racist, kink and poly-positive therapist, I’m all about creating a safe space where everyone feels welcome. I keep things direct and engaging, and I’m not afraid to sprinkle in some humor to lighten up those tough conversations and move away from shame. We may even have fun!
I live in St. Petersburg, FL, and when I’m not doing therapy I spend most of my free time on the beach soaking up the sunshine.

Why sex therapy?
After practicing therapy for a few years, I decided to specialize in sex therapy when I realized how much shame my clients were carrying from toxic societal messaging about sexuality and eroticism.
My mission is to facilitate sexual healing, relationship revitalization, and erotic empowerment for my individual clients and couples, decreasing shame and increasing joy.
