87 South Main Street Waterbury, VT 05676
Note: limited daytime space available in-person in Waterbury (telehealth spots currently full). Do you feel stuck in your relationship or creative life? I work with folks to deepen their senses of connection and aliveness. More specifically, I help couples change their conflict dance and hear each other better and I help creative folks live into tension and obstacles in their artistic practices. I offer an approach focused on the needs, wants, and hopes of the person or couple in the room, which means interventions can vary on a client by client basis.
I specialize in relationships, sexual health, and creativity. I also have experience with grief and loss, anxiety, family work, and spiritual exploration. I work with humans across the gender and sexuality spectrums, couples in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, and artists/ makers who feel ready to enhance their creative processes.
My work focuses on helping people feel more connected to themselves, their loved ones, communities, and the natural world. Shoot me an email to learn more. Note: I do not currently accept clients under 22.
