Nope. A therapist’s role is to hold a steady, contained space for processing and healing. My role is to be a responsive, attuned partner in your growth. Someone who will reflect patterns, offer experiments, and invite you into lived practice.

The relationship you have with me is more relational, collaborative, and present-moment than a traditional therapist–client dynamic. I’m not a neutral observer or a blank slate. I’m an engaged human in the room with you; paying attention to what’s happening between us, in your body, and in your real relationships.

In coaching, we often work in the relationship rather than just talking about relationships. That means noticing how you reach for connection, pull away, set boundaries, or people-please (in real time), and gently practicing new ways of relating as they arise.

I am deeply committed to my continuing education. In my experience, I do my best work when I’m engaged in my own learning. I continue to diversify my knowledge by being educated through varied, reputable institutions, organizations, and individuals on a variety of subjects.

I have two advanced degrees, and am happy to discuss the specifics of my somatic coaching resume and education upon request.

I work with clients across the gender spectrum of all identities, orientations, races, and religions. I welcome those that choose both traditional and non-traditional relationship structures, and couples looking to explore non-monogamy.

As I am an active participant in the relationship that develops with my clients, it’s important to me that I share my energy with people who believe in equity, safety, and care for all communities.

No, there is no situation in which I engage in, perform, or observe any sexual acts in my coaching practice. We may work with erotic energy, erotic charge, or desire and arousal, none of which requires sex to experience.

This is a hands-on practice, but that is not a requirement in order to reap the full rewards of somatic work. You can decide to move from hands-off to hands-on coaching or vice versa, at any time.

Coaching relationships tend to end upon the accomplishment of the client’s specific goals and successful ability to use their new tools out in the world. Everyone is different and I respect that this process will look and feel unique with each of my clients. For some, we’ll get there in a few months; for others I become a trusted companion on their healing journey over the course of years.

My suggestion is to come in with no expectations of how long this will take and just listen to your intuition. However your journey unfolds, I’ll be there celebrating with you at the finish line.

I require 24-hours notice for cancellations or reschedules. If you cancel or reschedule in less than 24-hours you will be charged a $100 fee. A no-show session will be charged the full session rate.

I get it, this feels like a big decision and you might not be totally sure what you’re even signing up for. If any of the following resonates with you, it’s worth a 30-minute phone call:

• Doomscrolling “influencers” leaves me feeling the need to crash diet/get to the gym but the idea of people seeing my body in spandex is too cringey. I feel stuck.

• I’m distractible during sex and find myself thinking about the To Do List or the show I’m bingeing or my kids’ schedules or the dishes in the sink or...

• My upbringing was very conservative and as a result I have lots of conflicting feelings and shame around my sexuality.

• I space the hell right out and have no idea what to do or say when my partner talks about their feelings or gets emotional.

• Some people seem so effortlessly confident, why can’t I be like that?

• My partner wants to have way more sex than I do. I don’t want to let them down but I’m just not feeling it.

• Sometimes I completely fly off the handle at my partner, even when they’re just trying to be nice.

• I wouldn’t even know how to answer my partner if they asked what I wanted in bed. It would probably just be too embarrassed and awkward to talk about.
