Introduction

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, your sexuality, or your relationships? Maybe the weight of past trauma, shame, or emotional pain has left you struggling to find your true self. You want to heal, break free from the cycles of hurt, and experience love in a way that reflects your deepest desires—grounded in self-love, confidence, and sexual freedom. I’m here to help. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with expertise in relational and sexual wellness, I support individuals and couples in healing from generational and relationship trauma. I understand the unique pressures that come with navigating cultural expectations around sexuality, relationships, and self-worth. Whether you’re carrying the emotional burden of past trauma or struggling to reconnect with your partner, I provide a safe and supportive space for healing. Who I Work With: Individuals: If you’re battling shame, low self-esteem, or the after-effects of trauma, I’ll help you heal and rebuild your sense of self-worth. Together, we’ll break harmful cycles and strengthen your emotional and sexual wellness. Couples: If you and your partner feel disconnected, we’ll work together to enhance communication, rebuild intimacy, and create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship. What I Specialize In: Healing from Shame and Trauma: Let’s work through the emotional pain and generational wounds that hold you back. Rebuilding Self-Esteem: You deserve to feel confident in yourself, your body, and your choices. Strengthening Emotional and Sexual Intimacy: Learn to reconnect deeply with yourself and your partner in ways that feel authentic and fulfilling. Breaking Harmful Cycles: Whether it’s patterns from your past or relationship struggles, I’ll help you create lasting change. My Approach: I use evidence-based therapies, including EFT, IMAGO, Gottman methods, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to guide you toward emotional and sexual healing. Together, we’ll create a personalized path that supports your growth, helping you reclaim your worth and build the relationships you desire. You don’t have to go through this journey alone. If you’re ready to heal and experience love and life in a way that feels true to who you are, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to reclaim your emotional and sexual wellness.
