Relationship habits with intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit an attuned and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true experience and intentions. This is a source of relational wounds.
These missed opportunities for connection amplify during important life events such as medical procedures or cancer treatment and during transitional periods like becoming empty nesters, during the midlife years, the perimenopausal transformation, and heading into retirement.
I specialize in couples therapy with a focus on emotional and sexual intimacy to help you create a safe-enough emotional space to unwind assumptions and misconceptions about long-term intimacy and heal the wounds. You will learn to speak from the heart during challenges, transcend unhealthy relationship patterns, and connect with a fully embodied sexuality.
Intimate relationships are the foundation for a fulfilling life and an opportunity to challenge yourself to grow your potential together. The practical, in-the-moment skills that you develop during our work will provide a strong toolbox to communicate effectively and savor the sweet moments that are available to you.

Perimenopause & Sexuality Workshop
Perimenopause impacts everything from digestion, to sleep, to temperature modulation, to cognitive function, and yes, sexuality! Unfortunately, the research is minimal and many health professionals are misinformed. With so many confusing symptoms and a lack of informed support, you end up feeling helpless and frustrated. As a result, opportunities to invite the gifts of this transition to inform our growth and transformation gets missed. Together, we discuss the latest science on this major life/body/heart gateway and how it applies to embodiment and sexual intimacy. Saturday, May 17th, 2025 1pm - 4:30 pm Mountain Time $225 Virtual
