Private Coaching
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
—Carl Rogers
Individual & Couples Coaching
Whether working individually or as a couple, my approach is best suited for people who want depth over quick fixes, appreciate intellectual rigor alongside emotional exploration, and welcome being challenged. Previous therapy experience is helpful but not required.
Most people come seeking support for specific challenges:
Navigating desire, sexual shame, impacts of trauma on intimacy
Stuck communication patterns or relational dynamics
Kink exploration, consensual non-monogamy, alternative relationship structures
Life transitions affecting sense of self and relationships
And stay for sustained developmental work as they and their relationships continue to evolve.

How I Work
Much of who we are is shaped by our early and formative experiences. We develop strategies to get our needs for connection and survival met, often internalizing beliefs about ourselves, the world, and other people that no longer serve. These relational strategies and implicit beliefs become automatic and unconscious. What were once brilliant adaptations for survival can block access to joy and connection in our current lives.
• • •
Making the Unconscious Conscious: Shifting patterns that no longer serve starts with compassionate attention to automatic behaviors. With awareness and new relational experiences, we can navigate life with less reactivity and more agency.
Skills-Based Approach: I offer expert guidance in developing relational capacity and skill while honoring the healing process that makes lasting change possible.
Fully Present: I show up authentically as a whole person, sharing genuine responses and lived experience in support of your journey.
