Intentionally choosing what works for you in sex and intimate connections is empowering and freeing. Let’s explore that together! I am here to collaborate with you on constructing a space where you feel comfortable connecting with each other, discovering your strengths and resiliency, and, most importantly, being your genuine selves with support. Trained in EMDR, Ackerman Relational Approach, EFT, Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing and many other evidence-based practices, I will bring in the knowledge and my lived experience as someone always exploring beyond the norms. You will bring in your expertise on your life and your commitment to healing. Together, we celebrate differences, courage, efforts, self-empowerment, and imperfection. We will both grow and thrive!
