I see individuals and couples for psychotherapy and sex therapy. My empathic and direct style with couples focuses on creating safety, healing attachment ruptures, and creating connection, intimacy and passion again (or in some cases, for the first time.)

I am not accept new clients at this time. I work to create a space without judgment where clients can learn, heal and grow. I work with people living with life transitions, trauma, grief/life losses and chronic illness/burns with compassion, while acknowledging the unique experience of each person. Every client I meet comes with their own set of gifts, challenges, supports and dreams. No one tells the same story as another...and I welcome the distinctiveness of each client. Entering therapy can be a scary process. I take great pride in my ability to create a safe space to partner and explored with each client uniquely.

You may be reaching out because your relationship no longer feels steady or connected. Trust has been disrupted through infidelity, secrecy, or unresolved conflict. Communication has broken down, leaving conversations tense, defensive, or avoided altogether. Sexual connection may feel strained or distant, adding another layer of frustration and uncertainty. You may still be committed to the relationship, yet feel caught in patterns that no longer bring closeness or relief. You want a clearer understanding of what has shifted between you and help finding a way forward that feels honest, grounded, and sustainable.
