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.

Intimacy is a key focus, and I’m pursuing AASECT certification in sex therapy.
I support couples and individuals in nurturing more authentic, collaborative, and empathic relationships. With a touch of humor and a judgment-free mentality, I create a safe and supportive space where clients can engage in deep introspection, build self-compassion, gain new perspectives, and grow in meaningful ways. I believe that every person holds unique strengths and insights that can guide them toward a more fulfilling life, enriched by deep and balanced relationships with themselves and others.

I'm an AASECT member completing my Sex Therapy Certification.
If you’re here, you’ve likely already seen several profiles, so I will skip the clichés. How do I differ? I am a systemic & relational therapist, and my focus is to view problems in a way that includes the intricate & larger influences of our past, beliefs, cultures, and upbringing. After all, we are shaped by where we come from and that informs much of how we navigate this world & our relationships. This distinctive therapeutic lens creates space for more context and a greater potential for healing – through mutual understanding, new meaning-making, and feeling “heard” & “seen” by others. I work w/ individuals, partners & families.

Navigating intimacy, sexuality, and relationships can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying it alone.

I have made a professional study of relationships, sexuality, alternative lifestyles, trauma, and mindfulness.
Most of our struggles are relational in nature. As a relationship expert, I will guide you toward healing your relational wounds; to step into the self-actualized, meaningful, joyful life you dream of. We all sustain traumas which shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand our protective strategies we can then update our narratives, unburden our traumatized parts, heal attachment wounds, and make room to relate through our highest self. We can learn new skills in communication, somatic regulation, mindfulness, self-awareness, and more fully build the life which best serves our continual growth.

I've specialized in merging couples and sex therapy.
Therapy can be so many things, but at its core it's an act of courage and a commitment to growth. While empowering, therapy can also be challenging, this is frequently the result of addressing old wounds that have informed how you see yourself, the world, and others. Our work is to assist you in creating a more differentiated and compassionate sense of yourself, others, and the world view. This includes created a sense of yourself as someone who builds trust and authentic connection with without losing who you are, and who can appreciate differences without judgement, reactivity, or fear of rejection. I hope to hear from you!

Lots of experience in varying situations, a wise, well trained therapist and awake human could be helpful in many situations.

Good therapy can help things improve those connections. I

In the pain of a crisis point it’s hard for couples to see a way out, but it’s available to those who are motivated to improve their circumstances, create relief and harness their resilience. Working with a compassionate witness and guide can help you look at aspects of yourself – individually or with your partner – that once served a purpose but no longer are sustainable. I hold space for you so that you can experience what it feels like to be curious about your most vulnerable parts without criticism or blame. I will model this for you and your partner.
