Are you struggling with mismatched desire in your relationship? Do you want to enjoy sex more but aren't sure where to begin? When intimacy starts to feel like just another task on your to-do list, it's easy to feel disconnected—from your partner, your body, and even yourself. Your mind might understand what "should" help, but your body hasn't gotten the message yet. Maybe performance anxiety is holding you back, or shame around your sexual behaviors, relationship with porn, or masturbation habits is weighing you down. These struggles can be isolating, but you don't have to navigate them alone.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples work through shame, anxiety, and disconnection using a body-based approach to create more fulfilling, pleasurable, confident sexual experiences. Whether it's desire discrepancies, sexual functioning, or past trauma, I offer a space to help your nervous system, not just your mind, learn safety again.
Using Somatic Experiencing, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Parts work, I help clients track what's happening in the body, release what's been held there, and build the felt sense of safety real intimacy requires. You deserve a fulfilling sex life and a relationship where you feel seen, regulated, and connected.
