Are you and your partner in a rut when it comes to sex? Or maybe it is not happening at all? I specialize in working with committed couples who have lost their sexy spark and are looking to feel closer, more excited and genuinely passionate again. My work is unique in that it's not about tips and tricks, but rather the deeper psychological blockages that might be holding you back in the bedroom. If you're ready to do the work and transform your relationship, I would be honored to be your guide. I love working with sexually diverse clients including: kinksters, LGBTQIA+ clients, sex workers and non-monogamous folks.
My approach to sex therapy and intimacy coaching focuses on discovering the root cause(s) of the issue, working with you to create a roadmap of how we'll address it and working together in session and through homework to help you transform your relationship. I aim to make the process efficient & as fun as possible! Expect a few laughs & lots of learning : )
If you know you want help with intimacy, I invite you to book a free Intimacy Breakthrough Call with me via my website. We'll get clear on where you are at now, where want to be in a few months and how to get there. If it's a good fit, I'll tell you about options for working with me. Please note: I work as a coach and do not take insurance.

I am SUPER non-judgmental when it comes to sex. I'm a big believer in "Don't yuck my yum!" and anything between informed, consenting adults is ok by me. Typically we review your history and how you're functioning now. Then we use IFS to identify what "parts" are getting in the way of you having the sex/love life you want and we do meditative, gentle (never forced) internal work to heal them.
