Body-centered therapy for deeper connection & healing.

Sex and intimacy can feel deeply meaningful, but they can also become a source of confusion, shame, frustration, or disconnection. You may be carrying the impact of sexual trauma, purity culture, body image concerns, painful early experiences, changes related to pregnancy, postpartum, aging, chronic illness, or simply feeling disconnected from your own body, sexuality, or desire. These experiences can shape the way you relate to your body, your sexuality, and the people you love, often long after the original experiences have passed.

Therapy with me focuses on the emotional, physical, and relational experiences that shape intimacy and your relationship with your body. Together, we'll create a space where you can explore your experiences with curiosity instead of judgment. Through conversation alongside somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, we'll work to help you reconnect with your body, better understand your needs, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others. For couples, this also includes strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and creating new experiences of closeness together. You'll set the pace, and I'll help guide the process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your experiences.

The messages of purity culture can stay with you long after you begin to question them. Maybe you were taught that sex was dangerous, sinful, or something to be ashamed of. Now you're trying to make sense of what you believe about sex, your body, and your sexuality. If you're feeling disconnected from your body or desire, having difficulty enjoying sex or pleasure, carrying guilt after consensual sex, or are unsure where to go from here, you've come to the right place.

Together, we'll untangle the messages you received about sex, your body, and relationships so you can discover what feels true, authentic, and life-giving to you. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and grounded in compassion, helping you move beyond shame and toward greater freedom, connection, and self-trust. Whether you're deconstructing or reconstructing your faith, navigating intimacy in a committed relationship, healing after spiritual abuse, or simply wanting to experience sex without fear or guilt, I'd be honored to support you.

Living with a chronic illness can change nearly every part of your life. You may be grieving the life you expected to have, struggling to trust your body, or feeling frustrated by the ways your world has become smaller. Navigating medical appointments, changing symptoms, and the need for accommodations can be exhausting, especially when others don't fully understand what you're going through. If you've experienced trauma, living with a chronic illness can also amplify old patterns of fear, hypervigilance, or disconnection from your body.

Therapy offers a space to make sense of these experiences without minimizing or trying to fix them. Together, we'll process grief, explore the impact your illness has had on your identity and relationships, and gently unpack the ways past experiences may be shaping your present. Using a collaborative, trauma-informed, and somatic approach, we'll work toward building a relationship with your body grounded in compassion, flexibility, and trust while creating a life that honors both your limitations and the parts of you that continue to grow, connect, and find meaning.

You may have spent years believing that life would finally begin once your body changed. Maybe you've tried every diet, followed countless wellness rules, or found yourself caught in cycles of restriction, overeating, compulsive exercise, or guilt around food. You might avoid photos, intimacy, shopping for clothes, or social events because you're self-conscious and ashamed of how your body looks. Perhaps every meal feels like a decision to get right or wrong, and thoughts about food or your body take up more space than you'd like to admit. Over time, it's easy to lose trust in your body and begin measuring your worth by your appearance, weight, or ability to control what you eat.

Together, we'll explore the experiences, relationships, and messages that shaped the way you see your body and yourself. My work is grounded in a Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating framework, with the belief that all foods can fit and that your worth is not determined by your weight, appearance, or the choices you make around food. Using a collaborative, trauma-informed, and somatic approach, we'll work toward rebuilding trust in your body, reconnecting with your body's cues, developing a more flexible relationship with food, and creating space for the people, experiences, and values that matter most to you.

Our bodies are always evolving through illness, pain, aging, pregnancy, and more. These changes can stir up a complex range of emotions such as grief, frustration, fear, shame, or a deep sense of disconnection. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, living with chronic pain, adjusting to pregnancy, or coming to terms with the realities of aging, therapy can be a place to make sense of it all.

In our work together, we will use a somatic approach that involves paying attention not just to your thoughts, but also to the signals and sensations of your body. You may be used to pushing through discomfort or disconnecting from your physical experience entirely. Therapy can help you begin to gently notice and respond to what your body is telling you. Together, we will explore how to cultivate safety and compassion within your body, regulate your nervous system, and build a more trusting relationship with yourself over time.
