Something inside you is calling for a change, even if you aren't completely sure what that looks like yet. You might be saying to yourself, “I don't know ‘what's wrong,’ I just know that I don't feel right,” or you may be having relationship distress and don't know what to do next. Let's explore! This is your journey, and I am there to support you. I believe that our behaviors are rooted in self-protection and that there are valid reasons that we react the way we do. Through collaborative work, we'll create the path to positive change. My work is enhanced by my years as an artist, small business owner, parent, and community member.
I work with life transitions, anxiety, depression, artistic block in individuals and with couples (Gottman & EFT) and with non-traditional family structures. As a sex therapist, I can address desire discrepancies, female libido issues and male performance concerns. I also employ "Parts Work" (DNMS & IFS) to heal childhood traumas and attachment wounds.
I invite you to join me on a journey towards personal growth and empowerment. Together, we will explore and embark on a transformative process that will help you make positive changes allowing you to embrace your true self. It will be my privilege to support you at this time in your life. Feel free to reach out and we can set up a brief video call.
