Did your sex life hit a bump in the road and you're not sure how to get it back on track? I work with relationship partners to figure out where the sexy spark went and how to get it back. So whether you just got a bit too comfortable with each other or there's some underlying emotional issues to resolve, we will work together to get to the bottom of it and get you back to feeling the sexy spark. I love working with all types of clients including sex workers, LGBTQIA+ clients, kinksters and non-monogamous folks. My approach is intersectional, incorporating all aspects of who you are
I specialize in helping people with libido, erectile dysfunction, sex addiction and finding your authentic sexual path! I offer clients a thorough assessment and strategic interventions using my Pathway to Passion model. See photo gallery for details & testimonials
I know it's not easy for everyone to dig up the details of their sex life, but I'm pretty skilled at putting people at ease. You can expect compassion, support . . . and also being challenged (with love!). If you are ready to create the intimacy and sexy connection you truly want, reach out.

Join a 6-week online support group for those in or exploring Ethically Non-Monogamous (ENM/CNM) relationships. We’ll meet weekly via Zoom to explore topics like navigating new relationships, choosing your non-monogamy style, healthy boundaries, managing insecure attachment, and enhancing communication. This group is open to all gender identities and sexual orientations. We’ll ensure a safer space for queer, neurodivergent, BIPOC, disabled, sex worker, and kinky participants through screening all participants. If you miss a week, submit questions and receive the recording. New groups start every 6 weeks—contact me to set up your free consultation and learn more!
