You are accomplished, self-aware, and emotionally intelligent, yet your intimate life may feel misaligned with your personal growth. Many clients arrive admired for their success while privately carrying unmet needs or longing for connection that feels alive, reciprocal, and secure. Some are experiencing dating fatigue, post-divorce reorientation, or navigating relationships shaped by privilege, power, or performance. I work with founders, executives, creatives, and high-achieving professionals exploring consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, kink, and power-exchange dynamics, and partnerships built with intention.

Therapy and coaching at Citrine Intimacy Group integrate somatic sex therapy, attachment-informed work, and trauma-informed care. Sessions support restored desire, deeper communication, consent practices, and the dissolution of patterns that limit clients in relationships, careers, and self.

The practice is sex-positive, kink-affirming, ENM-affirming, sex worker-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. Virtual therapy is available to residents of New York and Florida. Virtual coaching is offered nationwide. Visit our website to schedule a complimentary 30-minute video consultation.
