Your relationship is almost perfect, except for one piece. You’ve lost your spark, or maybe it was never there. Sex and intimacy is a crucial piece in relationships with trust and vulnerability being the paramount foundation. This typically takes a lot of open and safe communication, which also may not be you and your partner’s strong suit. Maybe there’s some old wounds there. Or shame around sex has always been a part of growing up. Whichever it may be, let’s light that fire that brings us closer together again. I am here to help you unlock the full benefits of pleasure within yourself and your relationships.
I bring authenticity, empathy, and curiosity into the therapy room to help individuals, couples and more explore their mental and physical blocks surrounding sexuality, intimacy, and pleasure. I strive to assist clients in working towards achieving the confidence to become healthy, sexual beings.
By working collaboratively and utilizing psycho-education, experiential, and narrative techniques, we will create pathways to your best self. Currently accepting in-person sessions for local clients and telehealth sessions statewide. Please visit my website for more info and to set up a free 20-minute video consultation to see if I am the therapist for you.

I take a collaborative approach with clients when it comes to which modality may work best for them and their goals. Treatment types I use most often include Narrative Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems. These are less direct and you can expect to feel more like I am walking beside you figuring things out than trying to lead you down a specific direction
