We help people with communication, sexual challenges, and navigating alternative relationships styles.

We are always an LGBTQ+ friendly and gender-affirming safe space.
Therapy isn't about being "broken or fixed" - it's about having a safe space to explore needs, face challenges, and set goals. We act as an encouraging guide on your journey to sort through loss, pain, fears, hopes, grief, or dreams. We can help you work towards finding more for yourself, uncover your needs, and overcome the challenges you've been facing.

I often work with couples around opening up their relationships, working on sexual challenges, and sometimes - just about uncovering those maladaptive coping mechanisms from our childhood that set off our triggers. With practice, you can improve your relationship with communication practices that serve you better and allow for vulnerability and intimacy to be a bigger part of your relationship.
