My clients often feel stuck in painful relationship cycles or disconnected from themselves and those they love. They may struggle with communication, intimacy/sex, grief, body image, or life transitions, and long to feel seen, valued, and understood. Many want healthier patterns, stronger bonds, and a more authentic connection with themselves and others. I provide a safe, affirming space to explore these challenges with compassion, curiosity, and respect, helping clients move toward clarity, intimacy, and deeper fulfillment in their relationships and lives.
I help individuals, couples, and families navigate disconnection, desire/sex/intimacy, parenting, and everything in between. With over a decade of experience, my approach is sex-positive, affirming, and open-minded, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman, and relational methods to foster clarity, intimacy, and stronger connections.
Our closest relationships can bring the most joy and the deepest hurt. If you’re feeling unseen, disconnected, or struggling with intimacy, I want you to know you’re not alone. I offer a compassionate, affirming space to explore what feels hardest—and to rediscover connection, desire, and the possibility of healing.
