Are you re-entering the dating world after a breakup or divorce? Ready to take a fresh, more conscious approach to love and intimacy? Whether you're exploring non-monogamy, desiring deeper connection, or craving more freedom and authenticity in your relationships, I can help. Many women feel trapped by society’s ‘relationship blueprint’—date a man, become exclusive, have vanilla sex, marry, and follow the script. If that path hasn’t worked for you, let’s rewrite the rules. Together, we’ll explore your deepest desires and create a love life that feels expansive and aligned
My approach is about helping you experience more freedom and authenticity in your sex and love life. Using Internal Family Systems, law of attraction (let's manifest some shit!), Existential Kink and mindfulness, I will guide you to finding what types of partner(s) and experiences help you feel lit up inside
As a licensed therapist turned Intimacy Coach, I combine emotional depth with practical, results-driven strategies. While I no longer diagnose or offer insurance-based therapy, I help you achieve profound transformation in just 90 days. Ready to create a love life that feels authentic, exciting, and fulfilling? Book your free consultation today!

I'm a therapist turned coach who has maintained my credentials. I am one of 1300 AASECT certified sex therapists in the world and am also an AASECT supervisor in training. What's unique about me is that I'm serious about your results but relaxed in the way I talk. No jargon and I'm not a blank slate therapist who just sits there kinda stiffly and listens without giving feedback.
