Do you experience anxiety individually or in relationships? Do you react when you need to engage? Does your body tense when sex, money, or change are raised? These topics can be uncomfortable for many individuals and partners, especially when we are raised in a culture that shames discussing them. Maybe changes or transitions are presenting challenges and you seek ease. Maybe money is ruining friendships or creating tension with your partner. Maybe you experience sexual pain and are frustrated with how it impacts your romantic relationships.
I offer gentle, trauma-informed counseling to individuals and their partner(s). I practice through a lens that recognizes people are doing the best they can in a world that often isn’t designed for us to thrive. Together, we create a judgement-free space where we can approach your relationships to sex, money, and change with curiosity and compassion.
If you long for the day when you can move through the world with calm confidence and without shame, let’s talk. If you seek to evolve the ways sex, money, and change are impacting your life, let’s discuss. Reach out for a complementary, 15-minute consultation so we can get to know each other and see if we are a fit.

I work with individuals and their partner(s) on issues of change, sex, money, and raising LGBTQIA children. During our work together, we'll seek to understand the beliefs and feelings that your parts carry. With compassion, we'll look to understand how these stories formed and where tension exists. As we bring acceptance, many times we see the tension begin to relax, creating space for relief.
