Reigniting the eroticism in you and your relationship.
You feel dead sexually, you no longer see yourself as a sexual being that you were born to be. You want more sex and a deeper connection in your relationship.
Therapy for Relationship Support
-
Strengthening Communication
Poor communication is a common source of conflict and misunderstanding in relationships. Together, we’ll explore how to express your needs and emotions clearly and compassionately, active listening techniques to improve mutual understanding, and breaking unhelpful communication patterns, like defensiveness or avoidance.
-
Navigating Healthy Boundaries
Healthy boundaries are essential for maintaining respect and balance in relationships. You’ll learn how to set clear boundaries without guilt or fear of rejection, recognize when boundaries are being crossed and how to respond, and maintain a sense of individuality while staying connected.
-
Exploring Intimacy and Connection.
For individuals, we will work on fostering deeper emotional and physical intimacy by identifying barriers to connection, such as stress or past trauma. We will build trust, vulnerability, and understanding in your connections, and learn how to approach intimacy with curiosity and openness.
-
Managing Relationship Anxiety.
Overthinking, fear of abandonment, or constant worry about relationships can be exhausting. I’ll help you identify and soothe the triggers of relationship anxiety, build confidence in your self-worth, and trust in your connections and cultivate emotional security within yourself and with others.
What unique value can I offer you in relationship and sex therapy?
I take a compassionate and somatic approach to relationship support, focusing on both the emotional and physical aspects of connection that we experience as human beings. Relationships are deeply personal and dynamic, and I’m here to create a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space where you can thoughtfully explore your challenges, uncover your unique needs, and learn essential skills to build the healthy, fulfilling relationships you truly desire and deserve.
Are you looking for a safe space to talk and explore topics of intimacy and sex?
Do you feel unsatisfied in your sex life? Or maybe you love the idea of having more sex and want to improve it? Either way, you feel hesitant to talk about your sex life to others due to fear of shame or judgment. Sex therapy is a GREAT place to unpack intimacy and sexual issues. I believe exploring intimacy and/or sex in relationships is important and welcome this topic of conversation in therapy.
How can talking about sex and intimacy help me in therapy?
While there are many layers to understanding and uncovering each individual’s sexual story. We all have one, it is a part of who we are and how we operate in relationships. How we see ourselves, how we compare ourselves to others, and how we connect to each other. At the heart of each person’s experience is a story to be told and therapy can help us understand how this gives meaning to our emotional wellness. You get to be the writer of this personal unfolding and sharing your story in a safe space, while building insight and understanding of how your story relates to your mental health.
Reclaiming Self-Pleasure through Somatic Therapy
For many women, self-pleasure is tangled in shame, numbness, or disconnection. Maybe you were taught to silence your desires. Maybe trauma made it hard to feel safe in your own skin. Maybe pleasure feels foreign-or like something you need to “earn”.
In our work together, we make space for a radical shift:
Exploring pleasure not as something you had to perform or perfect, but something already living inside you-waiting to be remembered.
Somatic therapy invites you back into relationship with your body: not as an object to fix or control, but as a sacred, sensing part of you worthy of care, tenderness, and joy.
Giving yourself permission to feel loved in your body.
Together we explore:
Reconnecting to bodily sensation
releasing shame or internalized messaging about desire
healing trauma stored in the body
cultivating safety, curiosity, and presence within your own body
inviting pleasure as a nervous system resource not a performance
Trauma-informed care :
This is trauma-informed therapy. You will never be pushed or expected to talk about anything you are not ready for. Every session is consent-based, spacious, and oriented toward what feels nourishing for you.
Pleasure is not a luxury. It is part of your healing.
Are you ready to come home to the fullness of your body and your life?
