Do you feel there are aspects of your sexuality or sexual self that have been unexplored, overlooked or neglected? Perhaps you're grappling with dissatisfaction and frustration in your current relationship? Maybe you're struggling to recover from infidelity or even contemplating divorce? Although we are inundated with cultural messaging about sex and relationships, most of us were not given the tools that allow us to connect to our partners or granted the space or permission to freely explore the depths of our sexual selves. Let's change that. You deserve fulfilling relationships and an authentic intimate life.

Your unique personal struggles occur against the backdrop of unprecedented political division and environmental crisis that can bring feelings of overwhelm, loss, and fear for the future. You may find yourself anxious, depressed, disillusioned, angry; many feel guilty accessing help when others are suffering worldwide.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming and we lose track of who we really are. So many opinions and choices in our minds make it hard to really know what you think or believe anymore. Counseling can help clarify what you really want and believe. It can also help alleviate anxiety, worry and depression.

Have you been thinking that you're not enough? At some point, you stopped believing in yourself and your mind filled in the gaps with negative thoughts. You want to feel happier, less anxious and/or depressed but don't know how. Instead, you feel misunderstood and alone. Not knowing where to turn to for answers and comfort. All the while, your mind is hard at working telling you that you're the problem. That something is wrong with you or your relationship/friends/family. Our mind can be our worst enemy or our best friend, depending on how we frame situations.

Flow is mental health. Feeling stuck is a mental illness. My job is to help you get unstuck. Trauma makes you stuck. Your brain creates defense mechanisms based on the traumatic event. Your body remembers the impact. I believe that many problems are rooted in trauma including attachment wounds. I work with anxiety, addiction, identity, unhelpful thought/behavioral patterns, cultural transition, and spiritual abuse through the lens of trauma. I attend to your body closely in the session for metabolizing your stuck feelings and thoughts. Body-mind integration brings mental health where allows a flow.
