Intimacy and connection are part of being human. They shape how we feel, how we love, and how we relate to others. I work with individuals and couples who want a space to work on themselves without feeling diagnosed, stigmatized, or treated like something is wrong with them. They are often working on communication, desire differences, sexual anxiety, shame, trust, and disconnection, while also understanding how stress, lifestyle, and relationship patterns affect intimacy. They want support to explore their values and beliefs around pleasure and build a more grounded, empowered sense of sexual health and well-being.
I offer a personalized, holistic, and integrative process that combines psychotherapy, sex therapy, practical education, and mind-body work to help clients deepen self-understanding and create change that feels sustainable in real life. I offer in-person and telehealth services in California and telehealth services in Ohio.
Relationships and intimacy evolve, and challenges are natural. Whether you're struggling with desire, communication, or closeness, your experiences matter. You deserve a space to explore your needs without shame or judgment. With the proper support, growth is possible. I’m here to help you create the connection and fulfillment you seek.
