About

Relationship habits with intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit an attuned and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true experience and intentions. This is a source of relational wounds. These missed opportunities for connection amplify during important life events such as medical procedures or cancer treatment and during transitional periods like becoming empty nesters, during the midlife years, the perimenopausal transformation, and heading into retirement. I specialize in couples therapy with a focus on emotional and sexual intimacy to help you create a safe-enough emotional space to unwind assumptions and misconceptions about long-term intimacy and heal the wounds. You will learn to speak from the heart during challenges, transcend unhealthy relationship patterns, and connect with a fully embodied sexuality.
