The longest relationship you’ll have is with yourself. Own it. Feel proud of it.

Avenues of self exploration work, I provide support around:

• Increasing sense of understanding, compassion, and empathy towards one's identity (gender, sexuality, etc.) to promote the ability to maneuver life with authenticity

• Exploration into parts of self that elicit feelings of curiosity, shame, guilt, or anxiety

• Deepening connection to one's values, beliefs, and spirituality

• Offering tools and skills to feel confident assertively communicating your wants in ways that feel authentic and values-aligned

Offered as Individual Therapy.

Let’s talk sex.

I take a bio-psycho-social approach to help bridge connections and better understand how one’s nervous system, emotional landscape, and relational dynamics influence arousal and sexual functioning.

Avenues of sex therapy, I provide support around:

• Increasing understanding and knowledge of your own/and partners arousal blueprint

• Reducing sexual pain and better understanding needs associated with pelvic pain disorders 

• Improving difficulty with orgasms and/or erections

• Closing the gap around desire discrepancies and honoring individual differences

• Reducing sexual anxiety and improving assertive communication skills to support with vocalizing needs/wants
  

• Investigating the impact of social narratives and stigma on your sexual interests, practices, or pleasure-based activities that fall outside the norm of "dominant" culture

• Expanding the definition “sex” and what actually contributes to good, even great sex

• Exploring impact of sexual trauma on sexual functioning, healing trauma wounds, and increasing opportunity for neutral/pleasant/pleasurable associations with sex

• Exploration of kink and power dynamics into one’s sexual practices

Offered as Individual Therapy or Couples Therapy.

We all want to show up in our relationships leading with love.

But love does not show up alone — it brings along our insecurities, fears of abandonment, desires for control, avoidance, internalized shame, “isms”, and relational narratives we acquired across our lifetime.

Avenues of couples therapy, I provide support around:

• Improving relational conditions that support with creating space for assertive transparent communication regarding individual and relational needs to thrive

• Increasing differentiation (the ability to maintain sense of self/boundaries while remaining emotionally connected to others and being able to manage the dysregulation that can occur when we feel challenged by wanting different things)

• Exploration of relationship structures outside of monogamy (i.e relationship imagining, boundary/agreement setting, navigating feelings of insecurity/inadequacy, working through trust ruptures towards repair, etc)

• Manuever through relational wounds inherited through childhood or past romantic relationships that are presenting themselves in your current relationship

• Increasing awareness of relational narratives and expectations living under the surface that are no longer serving your relationship

• Become a better friend, lover, and support to your partner in the way that truly speaks to them
  
  
  

To know oneself requires us to be in touch with all aspects of ourselves.
That includes our bodies.

Avenues of somatic therapy, I provide support around:

• Increasing one’s connection to the present moment and self in a world that praises disconnection and dysregulation

• Expanding awareness of one’s bodily sensations, what our sensations are communicating, and how to bridge the connection between our sensations, thoughts, and emotions

• Improve nervous system regulation to increase tolerance to navigate life’s unpredictable circumstances and access peace and safety within oneself

Offered as Individual Therapy, and as add-on to Sex/Couples Therapy.
