Whether it is during a transition, an acute stressor, or severe mental illness, I provide a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment for youth, adults, families, and couples.

Have you tried counseling before and found it didn't help? In my experience, traditional, or talk therapy, has limitations. Many people struggle with relationships, self-esteem, depression and/or anxiety. I have found that these issues are rooted in the "small t" traumas experienced earlier in life, and the resulting beliefs we have about ourselves, such as I'm not good enough, I have to be perfect or I'm not safe. Our nervous systems get overloaded so that we are in a near constant state of fight, flight or freeze. We live with negative self talk, which feels normal, but isn't. These symptoms lead to depression and anxiety.

Anxiety, not able to perform as you used to, communication with your sex partner/s, or not feeling good about your body, I’m here to help you find freedom and fulfillment in your sexual life.

There are lots of reasons we experience decreased sexual connection - we get busy, we get bored, and we experience sexual traumas.
