I work with adult individuals and couples who feel emotionally disconnected and have concerns related to sexual desire, ED, sexual pain, childbirth, illness, trauma and more.
Do you feel disconnected from your partner or spouse? Is sex a “problem” for you or in your relationship? Good sexual connection and a strong emotional bond are important keys for lasting fulfilling relationships. Sometimes, couples realize that they have become distant from one another and their relationship is not as satisfying as it used to be. Communication has become dull and ineffective. Sex is not satisfying or is non-existent. (See website) If this is happening with you and your partner, I can help you co-create a revitalized relationship through effective communication and heartfelt intimate connection and touch.

I’m here to help heal past hurt & trauma and support your authentic identity.
If you’re here, you’re likely finding that something has been getting in the way of experiencing the sexual pleasure and/or relationship connection you want. Maybe it’s needing to integrate a new understanding of your sexual or gender orientation. Perhaps you’re not sure exactly what brings you pleasure or how to ask for what you want. Shame or past trauma has been preventing you from finding freedom. All of these dynamics can leave you feeling lonely and disconnected from yourself and your partner.

I have a passion for couples counseling, working with trauma, and military life stressors.
You are the only expert of your own life, but sometimes we need a little help. My perspective is that I'm the GPS and you're the driver- you know where you are isn't where you want to be and I am there to guide you and re-route as needed. I have worked with a wide range of clients with a focus on military members and dependents, life stressors, trauma (combat and otherwise), marital distress, depression, anxiety, and domestic violence. I am LGBT+, kink, and sex work friendly. I believe that it takes courage to come to therapy and you deserve authenticity and a space where you can address your concerns without fear of being judged.
