I am a passionate student of humanity; how we work as individuals and in connection, from the intimate to the social. The expertise I have as a coach and mentor comes from my life experience, and a dedication to understanding myself and others with as much breadth and depth as possible. My formal education and training include Socio-Cultural Studies at the undergraduate and graduate level, a master's program in Counseling Psychology, and a specialized certification in Sex and Relationship Coaching. 

My philosophy is grounded in the belief that humans are wired for connection and that we are wounded and healed in relationship. Traditional therapy tends to focus on the wounding, the what-is-wrong in us, our partners, our sex lives, etc. Understanding dysfunction and its roots and causes is a critical part of growth but insight on its own can only take us so far. Facilitating discovery of what works, the what-is-right, and developing skills for that process is an integral part of coaching. New experiences, facilitated and practiced in sessions, rewire us and generate lasting change. My goal is to support people in developing awareness and understanding, realizing more acceptance and choice, and having fulfilling relationships and sex.

I am committed to prioritizing eroticism, pleasure, and connection, excited by the potential for how much we can learn together, how fully we can love ourselves and one another, and the possibilities this offers for our transformation as individuals, in relationships, and for society as a whole.

How It Works

My experience, education, and training allow me to meet my clients where they are and support them in achieving goals in a variety of areas including but not limited to: 

  • Improving communication 

  • Feeling erotically empowered

  • Mastering sexual function

  • Navigating impacts of trauma

  • Navigating addictive patterns/behaviors

  • Improving relationship dynamics

  • Developing confidence and self-esteem

  • Increasing self-awareness and acceptance

  • Experiencing more choice and freedom

My coaching practice approaches emotional, erotic, and relational literacies as meaningful subjects of learning and skill building and the work centers:

  • Sexuality

    Whether or not sex is the specific topic in any given session, work grounded in sexual literacy acknowledges the whole person. How we are shaped by our history, identity, and context. Self-awareness, self-acceptance, communication, boundaries, access to and enjoyment of pleasure are as important for great sex as they are for every aspect of our lives and relationships.

  • Pleasure

    Feeling good, confident, empowered, free to enjoy pleasure for its own sake, is often challenging in a culture obsessed with the work ethic. An ethic of pleasure balances this by prioritizing exploration of what brings us durable joy; what restores, regenerates, arouses and lights us up. Pleasure is vital to our well being.

  • The Body

    Our original source of knowledge, the body holds intelligence about our emotions, wants, needs, boundaries, wounds and capacity for healing. Embodied mindfulness offers a direct path to increasing self-awareness; changing old habits, patterns, and behaviors; navigating emotion and improving the quality of our relationships.
