Areas of Focus
-
I help clients address common concerns such as low libido, difficulty with intimacy, and feeling a lack of pleasure or sensual confidence. Together we can explore ways to enhance pleasure, reconnect with your body, and cultivate a richer erotic life.
-
I help individuals who are seeking love and navigating the early stages of dating to clarify what they truly want in a partner. Together we explore how to choose healthy, compatible matches and develop clear, confident communication of preferences and boundaries. My goal is to empower you to build authentic connections that feel safe, respectful, and fulfilling from the very beginning.
-
I walk alongside couples who want to deepen their connection and navigate the everyday ups and downs of married life. Whether you’re feeling unheard, struggling with intimacy, juggling parenting styles, dealing with financial pressures, or facing major life transitions such as career shifts or an empty nest, I’m here to listen without judgment. Together we explore the emotions behind the challenges, rebuild open and compassionate communication, and develop gentle, realistic strategies for resolving conflict. My aim is to help you and your partner rediscover the love, trust, and shared purpose that first brought you together, so your marriage can feel supportive, nurturing, and resilient for years to come.
-
I work with individuals who have ADHD to explore how their neurodivergent wiring influences sexuality and intimate relationships. Together we address emotional regulation, sensory needs, communication patterns, and impulsivity so you can feel more grounded and understood in the bedroom and beyond. My aim is to help you develop strategies to foster satisfying and healthy sexual connections.
-
Clear, respectful dialogue about needs, limits, and desires is foundational to any healthy relationship. I offer practical skills for negotiating consent and communicating and expressing your preferences, empowering you to show up fully in relationships.
-
Many people carry limiting narratives about sexuality that dampen desire and enjoyment. Together we can rewrite these scripts, nurture sensual embodied awareness, and build erotic confidence.
-
Identifying personal triggers and learning how to communicate them clearly are essential steps toward healthier relationships. I work with clients to define, assert, and maintain boundaries that protect emotional safety and promote mutual respect.
-
For survivors of sexual or domestic abuse, I provide a safe space to process and integrate painful memories, support post‑traumatic growth, and rebuild trust and intimacy within yourself and your relationships.
-
Coming out, gender‑affirming transitions, and questioning one’s identity can be both exciting and challenging. I support clients through these journeys, helping them integrate intersecting aspects of identity, including age, race, class, ability, and religion, into a cohesive sense of self.
-
Whether you’re exploring consensual non‑monogamy, ethical non‑monogamy, polyamory, or kink dynamics, I help you clarify your values and choose partners who align with them. Together we build clear agreements, strengthen communication, and manage feelings such as jealousy, so conflicts can be resolved constructively.
I also support you in navigating transitions and break‑ups with compassion and respect, offering a safe, non‑judgmental space where you feel heard and gain practical tools to build relationships that truly reflect your values.
