The shortest path to enjoying your life is discovering yourself.
My therapeutic approach is non-judgmental and sex-positive so you can feel secure and understood creating a safe space for you. Within this space, we'll uncover patterns and blockages, helping you move past them by providing tools and resources that go beyond our therapeutic sessions. Here, we also examine and explore your past and present sexual experiences and relationships with genuine curiosity. Why? To help you decipher the unwanted repetitive patterns, to move you from functional to exceptional relationships or simply to move your sex life to the next level.
I’ve had comprehensive Sex Therapy training to help individuals and couples work through self-esteem, performance anxiety, sexual trauma and intimacy concerns. I use EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, which are both evidence-based methods to help heal from the trauma you’ve experienced in your life.
I’ve also delved deep into specialized training to best work with individuals and couples, from the Gottman Method, which delves into the intricacies of couples' dynamics, to addiction betrayal & recovery, affairs, trauma, and even domestic violence. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy helps couples heal from emotional wounds and helps create healthy cycles of connection and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help individuals overcome shame, regulate emotionally and develop healthy coping strategies.

Whatever it is, how you tell your story can make all the difference.
At the heart of many people, there lies a delicate dance between joy and pain, a dance often overshadowed by shame, guilt, overwhelm and hopelessness surrounding sex and sexuality. I've witnessed the pain of individuals and couples grappling with feelings of neglect and unmet needs. Relationships eroding into spaces of resentment.
It's witnessing this transformation – where vibrant connections diminish into quiet despair – that drove me to become a sex and relationship therapist. To help individuals heal from shame, trauma and the hurt that comes from broken relationships from childhood to now. Let’s make this your time to heal.
