You’re often kept awake at night, praying that the nightmares won’t return again, while intrusive thoughts overtake your days. You’re frustrated that the past doesn't seem to go away, still taking up space in your mind no matter how hard you try to push it down. You want the freedom that others seem to have, but it appears to be elusive for you. There’s a constant need for secrecy regarding your past out of fear of shame and guilt, as if sharing it would somehow make things worse. Every day, you work hard to keep a smile on your face, hoping no one suspects the battle you’re fighting beneath the surface.

I am dedicated to helping couples and individuals strengthen their relationships, build security, and navigate the challenges that can arise in intimate partnerships. We are wired to connect with others, yet emotional and physical intimacy can be so tough at times. Often couples are impacted by differences in desire, emotional expressiveness, upbringing, communication, broken trust, or past traumas. It makes sense why relationships can be so hard to do on our own, but we are all capable of loving, safe, and healthy intimacy. I would love to help you break out of the frustrating relationship cycle you may feel stuck in.
