Life has natural rhythms of
ups and downs…
including sex and relationships!
Disney prepared us for “happily ever after”. It didn’t prepare us for the moments when we think: “I’ve fallen out of love.” “I’m bored.” “The sex sucks.” “I love my spouse, but I don’t want to have sex.” Or, “Is this normal?”
There is a science to relationships, sex, and how the mind and body work. My work integrates these into therapeutic practices to help you understand and take practical steps. It’s never too late to create the life you desire.

Therapy, Education, Retreats
Couples Counseling
Relationships deeply shape our quality of life, yet they’re often where we become complacent. Small disconnections can build over time, creating distance that feels difficult to repair. On average, couples wait 2.68 years after problems begin before seeking therapy. Reaching out sooner can create space for meaningful change before patterns become entrenched.
Group Therapy
Group counseling services are designed to provide a supportive and safe environment for individuals to work through their problems with others who are going through similar experiences. A group therapy facilitator helps members process past experiences, find solutions for moving forward, and rewrite their narratives of trauma to build resilience.
Individual Counseling
Our thoughts, feelings, body, and behaviors create an internal feedback loop that shapes our lives. Many of us are too hard on ourselves. We’re often taught that change comes through shame or self-criticism, but there’s no evidence that works sustainably. Real change happens through a different approach, one that disrupts negative feedback loops.
Therapy Intensives
When weekly therapy isn’t enough, this format allows us to stay with the work long enough for something meaningful to shift. Many clients experience the equivalent of several months of therapy in a shorter, more immersive process. All intensives begin with a consultation and intake to ensure this approach is supportive and aligned.
Sex Therapy
I have never met someone who doesn’t want to be a good lover. Yet many of us are shaped by life experiences and messaging that create unrealistic and sometimes harmful ideas about sex, leading to disconnection from our bodies and from pleasure. Sex therapy offers a gentle, clinical space to have honest conversations about sex.
