I specialize in helping individuals and couples who are ready to break free from patterns that are holding them back around dating, relationships, and intimacy. Many of my clients find themselves stuck in patterns of anxious attachment, people pleasing, or feeling disconnected from their own needs and desires, and see these patterns negatively impacting their romantic relationships and sexual intimacy. I guide my clients through a process of reconnecting with their deeper desires, needs, and boundaries, so they can connect on a deeper level with themselves, their body, and their partner.
My approach centers the power of vulnerability and authenticity. My priority is creating a safe, supportive container where clients feel comfortable to let go of shame and embrace their most authentic self. I help my clients find deeper levels of self-trust, self-confidence, and connection with themselves and those around them.
passionate about helping you embrace who you truly are and what makes you unique. This includes working with Neurodivergent folks to break the cycle of masking, and people in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am affirming of all identities, and love helping people work past any fears that may be holding them back from living their most authentic life.

Many of my clients are women who find themselves stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and anxious attachment, and see these patterns negatively impacting their romantic relationships and sexual intimacy. They may also be experiencing low libido/low desire, feeling anxious or avoidant around initiating or engaging in sex.
