Helping you feel at home in your body, confident in your desires, and connected in your relationships. I support individuals and couples through the messy, beautiful, vulnerable terrain of sex, intimacy, and connection. Whether you’re feeling stuck, shut down, disconnected, or curious about what else is possible—I’m here to help. I take a somatic and person-centred approach to therapy because intimacy isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we feel—deeply, in our bodies and nervous systems. Working together, we explore what holds you back and what turns you on,

In my practice, I work with adults navigating a wide range of challenges - including trauma, anxiety, dissociation, depression, grief, and relational struggles.
Finding a therapist who can deeply attune to you and creatively integrate approaches that truly align with your needs can be really hard. It often takes energy from every part of your life- especially when you’re already running on empty. I want to reassure you that I understand, both professionally and personally, just how crucial this stage is. That’s why I’ve made it a priority to ensure this part of the process feels as welcoming and informative as possible. ​
