I work to help you develop a healthy relationship, enabling both people to speak from the heart about what they feel and need. When you find yourself in a repeating cycle of hurtful interactions, I facilitate new ways to connect and heal.

We want connection- a space to be vulnerable and truly seen. But emotional intimacy is risky, and that scares us, especially with a difficult history! Instead of being vulnerable, we build up walls to protect us. Let's break down the walls and build a loving connection.

I work with couples to help them identify relationship goals and learn better communication and problem-solving skills so they can create a relationship in which both partners feel understood, appreciated, respected, and loved.

I work with all couples to help them with intimacy, both emotional and physical, and to improve their communication skills. I work openly and non-judgmentally with members of the polyamory community and am kink-aware.
