    Recalibrate your connection with yourself. Shame often keeps people from living a radically authentic life full of pleasure and love. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Work On Your Relationship(s)

 

In the mist of another fight you might catch yourself wondering how things got to this point. Stuck in the same argument. You may think back and fondly remember the joy you experienced when you first started dating.  Those happy memories seem surreal when you considering the pain you feel in your relationship today.

Perhaps you are so worried that you say nothing at all. You avoid difficult subjects with your partner, and silently suffer just to keep the relationship afloat. It may feel as if you are living separate lives under one roof.

You probably feel worn out and hopeless when you consider all the ways you have tried to fix your relationship. If it seems like things will never change, I am here to offer you hope.

In relationship counseling we will explore new ways to communicate and address conflict.
We work together to strengthen the friendship and appreciation within your relationship, while empowering you and your partner(s) with new tools to reconnect.  If you are looking to explore any of the following, then I can help:

  • Gridlocked issues

  • Physical or emotional relationship boundary violations

  • Kinks/Fetishes

  • Communication issues

  • Compatibility

  • Premarital counseling

  • Unsupportive families

  • Adjusting to a change in life

  • A desire for more respect or care

  • Avoiding conflict

  • Managing resentments

  • Conflict without contempt

Pleasure Is Not A Problem

 

Sexual shame abounds in today’s world and it causes a great deal of distress for everyone. We are bombarded with messages on what sex, love, dating, hookups, and marriage ought to be like.

The truth is, the only “normal” when it comes to sexuality is diversity. There are countless ways to connect with yourself and others, all uniquely beautiful to the individuals who cherish those particular forms of connection.

Be kinky or vanilla, monogamous or more than monogamous; just work on being true to yourself and proud. Some common topics explored in sex positive therapy include:

  • Sexual functioning

  • Sexual confidence

  • Kinks/Fetishes

  • Sexual arousal

  • More than monogamy

  • Dating apps

  • LGBTQIA+ sex

  • Dating

  • Hookups

  • Porn and erotica

  • Sex toys

  • Rekindling desire

  • Enthusiastic consent

Deep Up In That Rainbow

 

The world can be chaotic and unkind, especially to those who are perceived as different. I am committed to working with LGBTQ+ individuals, and I strive to create a safe place where people feel empowered to be authentic. The stress that inequality places on individuals is important to explore during sessions. Many people are often surprised by how discrimination (or fear of discrimination) has impacted their decisions, sense of self, and even intimate relationships. I have helped LGBTQIA+ people with :

  • Coming out

  • Questioning sexuality/gender

  • HIV/AIDS

  • Work stress

  • Shame and guilt

  • Bullying

  • Aging

  • Relationship issues

  • Substance abuse

  • Dating/sex

  • Bisexuality and belonging

  • Transitioning

  • Letters for gender affirming care

  • Unsupportive families

  • Building community
