My Approach to Helping
Intimacy and connection is vital to our overall health and well-being. We specialize in helping people heal and transcend what inhibits emotional intimacy, sexual intimacy, and affection. By providing a safe enough, supportive, and knowledgeable place for you to deeply know yourselves, you can ignite passion, strengthen trust, and co-create shared values to support your continued individual and relationship growth.
Our approach to healthy intimacy for couples weaves together emotional intelligence, effective communication skills, and embodied eroticism to cultivate a truly inspiring intimacy. You get to be whole people, together, in a way that honors your shared values as well as personal differences.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
Many of us need support in learning how to practice healthy relationship skills, such as communicating complicated emotions, navigating different needs and desires, and enjoying our sexuality in a consensual and fulfilling way. While the adults in our lives did the best they could with what they have, it was often not enough to prepare each of us for real life. Psychotherapy will help you understand your origin story and the relationship styles you learned. Then, we can lay the foundations to bring you to a deeper satisfaction with your important relationships.
What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process
We all experience overwhelming emotions. Allowing ourselves to feel difficult emotions within a supportive and non-judgmental space creates the opportunity to open up to all the wonderful emotions that we long to feel. In session, we guide you and your partner to access your personal resources, to stay present with yourselves and each other, and to effectively work through your most challenging moments. As our work together progresses, you will find that you have a higher tolerance for feeling the hard stuff and a higher capacity to experience joy and pleasure.
