Life and relationships can be complicated, especially during seasons of change, uncertain times, or feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you love. I help individuals and couples navigate intimacy concerns, relationship transitions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, problematic or compulsive sexual behaviors, and questions around sexuality and identity. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where you can feel understood without judgment. Together, we’ll work toward deeper connection, greater self-understanding, and meaningful change that feels authentic and sustainable.
When we meet, you will find a cheerful and affirming ally who will help you to uncover and express your authentic self, in order to help you create richer, joyful, more meaningful relationships with your body, your partner(s), and yourself. I offer pragmatic and compassionate guidance as well as solution-focused tools for growth.
Therapy can be intimidating, even scary. Don't worry- I let you set the pace as we explore (individually or with your partner) what is holding you back and identify tangible ways to bring you closer to the life and relationship you desire.

I've had the opportunity to consult with Dr. Goerlich in the past, and have found her to be intelligent, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable, especially in the areas of kink-affirming practice and sex therapy. She's the best!
