Who I See

For individual therapy, I work with adults wanting to understand themselves more clearly; both emotionally & relationally. Many people come in while exploring their identity or their sexuality, moving through trauma, or trying to shift patterns that no longer serve them.

My work is sex-positive and affirming of all genders and orientations. I focus on authenticity, desire, pleasure, and the ways trauma and lived experience shape how we connect to ourselves and others.

For relationship work, I support partners who want to communicate better, rebuild connection, deepen intimacy, or navigate challenges in their sex life or sexuality. I also work with partners exploring ethical non-monogamy, kink/BDSM dynamics, as well as those wanting a more intentional, grounded relationship structure.

Whether you come alone or with a partner, my space offers a compassionate space. A place to tune in, get curious, and build toward the connection and ease you’re longing for.

How I Practice Therapy

I operate with the understanding that your story belongs to you, and our work is to explore it collaboratively and with care. I believe our bodies, our stories, our relationships carry wisdom, and when we learn to listen, new possibilities often emerge.

I also believe in talking about the hard things: the taboo, tender, and often avoided parts of being human — sex, trauma, fantasies, struggles, and the narratives we’re told to keep quiet. This is a space where nothing is too much, too strange, or too shameful to bring into the room.

I work from a systems perspective, which means we look at how your body, relationships, sexuality, nervous system, and larger communities all influence one another.

My approach blends relational, somatic, narrative, and emotion-focused therapy, guided by attachment principles, polyvagal theory, and trauma-informed care.

In short, I see you as a whole human with many interconnected parts, and I help you build relationships within and around you that feel steady, meaningful, and well balanced.

When I’m not with clients

You’ll most likely find me in the kitchen with an emotional-support-TV-show on, out on a boat in Southeast Alaska, stretching and folding bread dough, daydreaming about sheep, writing poetry, putting garlic in everything, telling the same stories to my husband, or playing Catan with my kids.
