We have wanted to go back to work or school for years, but no one said returning to "normal life" would be so stressful. Millions of people are experiencing social and medical anxiety reengaging with the very lives we mourned the loss of for two years. Fears of covid, RSV, the flu and even the fragility of living have turned many of us into hypervigilant stressballs, to say nothing of returning to the simple acts of remembering how to do "small talk" around the water cooler again. Who'd have thought the thing we wanted the most is the now the greatest source of stress in our lives? If this is you, I see you...

I work with high-potential, creative and sensitive beings, who may feel stuck and burned out. I've discovered personally how somatic therapy revitalizes the organism and resolves psychological and health issues at the source. In particular it can shift anxiety, chronic pain, depression, loneliness, and imposter syndrome. It works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside.

In the journey of healing, navigating life’s vast experiences can be daunting without guidance. Healing is an art, a delicate craft where one wields their life force to reshape both inner and outer obstacles. Trauma, a subtle artist, paints filters on the canvas of perception, shaping our view of self, relationships, and the world. Within these lines, It would be an honor not only to guide you but also to help you cultivate regulation, reclaim your strength, and build a foundation of tranquility and happiness in your life.

Sex Therapy

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
