I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down, often when sex or intimacy has become stressful instead of connecting. Many people come in feeling embarrassed, discouraged, or unsure how to even start the conversation. In our work, we take shame out of the room and focus on creating a space that feels open, safe, and honest. You don’t need the right words or a clear plan, you can come exactly as you are, and we’ll figure it out together.
I help by normalizing and humanizing what you’re experiencing while using evidence-based tools to guide our work. Together, we look at what’s getting in the way of connection and build patterns that fit your real life and relationship. Clients often leave feeling more hopeful, more connected, and better able to sustain intimacy over time.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start therapy. If something in your life or relationship feels heavier than you want it to be, support can help. I offer a space that’s thoughtful, respectful, and collaborative, where we can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and explore what’s next together.
