For most of us, relationships are central to our lives and our well-being. And while they can provide love, passion, connection, awareness, and growth, they can also stir up conflict, breakdown, aversion, old wounds, and a lot of frustration. Sometimes we need a place to work this out.

I strive to help people in relationships of all kinds to find their way back through conflict or old conditioning to reconnection, intimacy, and healing. I am direct and pragmatic, and I take a holistic approach that encompasses who you are on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.

I have a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology, am a Certified Imago Relationship Community Educator and a certified Hypnotherapist. I do Relationship Coaching and Soul-centered counseling.

Having been through a separation/near-divorce and my own personal struggles in relationships, I have walked the path of pain and confusion that can happen with people we love. Using Imago Therapy and other techniques my husband and I were able to transform our relationship and deepen our intimacy to create an even better partnership than we thought possible. I really feel passionately about helping other couples do the same, whether they are monogamous, polyamorous or anything in between. Sometimes it’s also about learning how to separate from one another consciously and to co-parent or to remain respectful friends.

I work from a lovely professional office in Sellwood, SE Portland, Oregon but also offer Skype sessions. I do offer a free 30' consultation for anyone interested in learning more about my work. - Does phone consultation

As a psychotherapist, I am committed to supporting adults, couples, partners, families and groups in feeling more alive, connected and authentic in their relationships with themselves, others and their communities. I believe that each of us is already whole, and that there is a wealth of knowledge alive within us just waiting for our awareness and appreciation. Our bodies are one way to access this inner wisdom, and my work encourages us to explore and celebrate what our bodies have to teach us about our innate capacities for healing, growth and transformation. In addition to talk therapy, sessions can include movement, somatic coaching and bodywork, meditation, artmaking, creative play, writing, and breathwork to gently guide the authentic self to move into full expression. Together, we learn what best supports the your unfolding process. Specialties: Enhancing self-esteem & body image; Reclaiming life after trauma; Cultivating healthy relationships; Supporting diverse families (multicultural, LGBTQI, blended, poly); Navigating the complexities of sex, intimacy & desire (all relationship styles, gender constellations and sexual orientations)

The first thing I want to tell my clients is that it’s ok to be shameless. What we carry with us is often burdened under the weight of shame. This can make it challenging to share the most intimate details that are affecting our physical and mental health. I’m here to listen and to offer you space free from judgment. I work with adults who are dealing with challenges related to sex & sexuality, and alternative relationship structures; those who are navigating sexual shame; and those exploring sexual interests. I’m an activist and advocate for sexual rights & freedoms, and am queer-, kink-, polyam-, and sexworker-friendly.

Currently taking new, individual clients. Contact me for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
