Our lives are full of relationships and we have an innate human desire to experience intimacy and connection. We can gain so much from experiencing intimate connections! Intimacy can make us feel fully alive, energized & liberated. Yet, we can often struggle to overcome hurdles along our path to deep, meaningful connection with others. We all have the capacity for intimacy and I’d love to help you discover and overcome what is standing in your way!
Relationships, Intimacy, Gender/sexuality exploration, Complex trauma, Anxiety, Religious trauma & Abortion support.
I believe that we are all deeply influenced and impacted by the systems within which we reside. I do all of my work through an intersectional lens. I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My belief is that self exploration, examining systems in which you reside will provide ample insight into how I can best support you.
