My Ideal Client

I enjoy working with couples facing a variety of difficulties from LGBTQIA+ factors, sexual concerns, attachment wounds, or family trauma. We will through these with openness and curiosity to help you achieve your relationship goals. My passion is working with individuals developing their gender and sexual expression. I also love working with couples on everything from how to open your relationship or finding more pleasure in sex to infidelity and increasing trust.

My Background

My previous work experience in somatic (body) based therapy has aided in my knowledge of talk therapy. We are both body and mind and I incorporate this intuitive knowledge your body possesses to assist in our sessions. I draw on Emotion Focused (EFT) and Restoration Therapy (RT) foundation, while also using Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am Gottman trained and incorporate this into couple’s work. I blend neuroscience, attachment psychology, and mindfulness work with these modalities. I am also trained in sex therapy with LGBT individuals and couples. There is always opportunity to grow more meaningful and impactful relationships. I am excited to use my knowledge and experience to connect and work with you towards a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others. I hope to promote healthy relationships and help others increase sexual pleasure and dive further into alignment.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I value depth, longevity, and presence. These three values are woven through sessions as we dive deep into what you believe and who you aspire to become, encourage insight into the present moment, and use that insight to create lasting change in your life. I would be a good fit for you if you are ready to dive into a deeper understanding of yourself and a more fulfilling life. I specialize in working with couples and individuals in sex therapy, more specifically with LGBTQIA+ couples, and couples who are wanting to open their relationship. I would be a good fit for you if you are discovering your sexuality or gender identity and need support on that journey.
