My Approach to Therapy:


01. Attachment

Attachment theory helps us understand how our early relationships shape the way we connect with others, with ourselves, and in intimacy.

The ways you relate in relationships today, whether through anxiety, shutting down, over-giving, or difficulty trusting, often have roots in earlier experiences of connection, safety, and responsiveness.

These patterns can show up in your romantic relationships, your experience of sex and intimacy, and in how you relate to your own needs and desires. They can also shape how you move through relationship transitions and endings.

In therapy, you have the opportunity to experience something different.

Through a consistent, supportive relationship, we begin to gently shift these patterns.

So you can:

  • feel more secure and grounded in your relationships

  • navigate intimacy, sex, and desire with more clarity and self-trust

  • build relationships that feel more mutual, aligned, and authentic

03. Somatic

Insight isn’t always enough. Many of our patterns live in the body, not just the mind. Somatic (body-based) work helps us move from simply understanding to actually creating change.

It invites us to pay attention to physical sensations, nervous system responses, and emotional patterns as they arise in real time.

This might look like:

  • noticing where you feel tension, shutdown, or activation

  • slowing things down to understand your body’s responses

  • building capacity to stay present with difficult emotions

  • reconnecting to desire, pleasure and joy

Over time, this work can help you feel more connected to yourself, more regulated, and more able to respond, rather than react, in your relationships.

02. Trauma Informed

Trauma isn’t just what happened. It’s how those experiences continue to live in your body, your nervous system, and your relationships.

You might notice this as:

  • feeling anxious, on edge, or overwhelmed in connection with others

  • shutting down, disconnecting, or pulling away in relationships or during sex

  • difficulty relaxing, trusting, or feeling safe in your body

  • strong emotional reactions that feel hard to understand or control

Together, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer and more regulated, especially in moments of connection, vulnerability, and intimacy.

So you can:

  • feel more grounded and present in your body

  • experience more safety and ease in relationships

  • respond with more choice, instead of reacting from old patterns

04. Sex Therapy

Sex therapy is a space to explore your relationship with desire, intimacy, and your body in a way that feels affirming of who you are and how you relate.

Some of the clients I work with are navigating:

  • untangling shame around sex and desire

  • differences in desire within relationships

  • exploring intimacy with multiple partners or within non-traditional relationship structures

  • reconnecting with desire, sometimes for the first time

  • dating and re-entering intimacy after a breakup or separation

This work is about helping you feel more at home in your body, more clear about what you want, and more able to create intimate experiences that feel authentic, connected, and truly your own.


Why This Works

1. Understanding your patterns

We look beyond what’s happening now to understand the deeper patterns underneath. How they formed and what keeps them going- so change actually becomes possible.

2. Working with your nervous system

When your system is anxious or overwhelmed, it’s hard to respond the way you want.
By working with your body, you can feel more grounded, regulated, and in control.

3. Experiencing something different

Real change comes from new experiences, not just insight.
In therapy, you’re met with consistency, care, and attunement. This helps shift long-standing patterns.

What this can lead to

• feeling more secure and less anxious in relationships
• clearer communication and stronger boundaries
• more connection to your body, emotions, and desires
• less reactivity and more choice in how you respond
• relationships that feel more mutual, grounded, and fulfilling
