Is it weird that my libido is different from my partner's? I am curious about variety but I love and want to stay committed to my partner, is there an answer? I've detached myself from ever feeling vulnerable again; is love, intimacy, or committment right for me? How can sex bring my partner and I closer when what I really want is to be seen and heard? I like weird stuff, how do I share this? Hi! I'm Savannah, and I have nearly 20 years experience in sex and relationships. I look forward to exploring with you!

Most therapists consider counseling a “calling,” and I would have to say that this is definitely true for me. I enjoy working with adults of all ages as well as older adolescents on their journey to greater healing, self-discovery, and an improved quality of life. Helping to explore new perspectives, a more balanced approach to managing life stressors, and resolving interpersonal conflict are all meaningful aspects of my therapy approach. I am definitely not a “one size fits all” therapist. Though active listening, validating emotions and personal experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment are essential to everyone.

You're an accomplished, hard worker, and people think you have it all together. But your internal voice reminds you that you feel inadequate, and you may struggle with sadness, anxiety, or anger. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma. You work hard to hide your deepest thoughts and feelings, and it's exhausting. You overanalyze your perceived flaws and past experiences. Perhaps you withdraw or lash out at loved ones. You try to push down negative feelings by staying busy and focusing on other things, but you don't feel so good inside when things are quiet. You feel "off". You're tired of living this way and ready for a change.

Do you struggle to manage the daily stressors of your everyday life? Or does something from your past keep coming up? Do you find that these concerns impact other areas of your life? Work? School? Relationships? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost with how to move forward and live a happy and healthy life? Now more than ever, people feel anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage their relationships, careers, and lives. Pushing your needs away and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it should not be so hard to live a better life.
