Anxiety, relationship struggles, overwhelm or big life changes can make even the simplest things feel hard - sleeping, socializing, feeling confident in yourself. You might be trying to improve, but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you used to be. Maybe you can't remember what life felt like without anxiety. But you’re ready for a change. You want better routines, more confidence, and to stop letting anxiety call the shots. Most of all, you want to feel like you again and reconnect with what matters most. I’m here to help you get there.

My approach integrates EFT, attachment-based work, trauma-informed care, and sex therapy perspectives.
Relationships can be deeply meaningful, but they can also become painful when communication breaks down, conflict repeats, or emotional distance grows. Many couples find themselves stuck in cycles where the same arguments keep happening, intimacy feels difficult, or both partners feel misunderstood or disconnected. I work with couples to understand the emotional patterns and interaction cycles that develop over time. Rather than focusing only on surface level conflict, we explore the underlying needs, vulnerabilities, and attachment dynamics that shape how partners respond to one another.

Specializing in helping folks with chronic pain and illness, sex and relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, along with stress, anxiety, and depression.
You’re constantly scanning for danger, replaying conversations, overthinking decisions, and trying to quiet a nervous system that feels stuck on high alert. Your chest tightens, your stomach drops, and suddenly you’re spiraling through “what if” after “what if” especially when it comes to your health. You hold it together on the outside, but inside you’re exhausted, wired, and waiting for the next wave of anxiety to hit. You just want calm, clarity, and a break from feeling constantly on edge.

Sex Therapy
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.
Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.
What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
