LET'S bring the spark back to your relationship! Whether that’s the relationship with yourself or someone else, I want to help you feel connected again. We are social creatures and desire connection, so when this is lacking in our relationships we can feel lost and alone. I use my training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) to help individuals and couples learn how to listen to what their partner is sharing with compassion and acknowledgement instead of the traditionally listen to respond that often leaves us feeling unheard. I work on going past the surface level and go deeper into the emotions/the root of the problem.
As an AASECT certified sex therapist, I help couples navigating non-monogamy, those in the kink community feel accepted for who they are and what they want, those that aren’t in touch with their sexuality discover themselves, and men struggling with the pressure to perform. I work to get people out of their heads and into their bodies.
YOU are not alone! Many couples have communication issues, feeling disconnected or having physical intimacy concerns. Whether you are working on this with a partner or doing the work to reconnect with yourself- I want to go through the journey with you. If you're ready to make a change, I'd be happy to be your support.

I am a certified sex therapist working in the areas of ENM (ethical non-monogamy), kink/sex positive, and sexual dysfunction. We will work on what you want (not what you believe you should be) to get to a place of feeling comfortable being in the relationship/lifestyle that is best for you. I do this through education as well as a focus on self and confidence in who you are/want to be.

While I used EFT and focus on attachment and emotion- I used what the client needs. I also don't shy away from talking about sex and sexuality as a certified sex therapist. I want my clients to feel connected to themselves and their bodies before trying to reconnect with one another/their partner.
