The Path That Led Me Here

Healing happens in connection, with ourselves and with others.

I am a love and relationship coach, trauma specialist, and licensed therapist devoted to guiding others into deeper connection and healing.

For over twenty-five years, I have supported individuals, couples, and families through life's most intimate challenges. Emotional healing, identity exploration, relational wounds, trauma, and the complexities of sexuality. As a sex therapist, I help clients deepen intimacy, heal sexual disconnection, and reclaim pleasure as a vital part of their wholeness.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and mindfulness-based practices, infused with a deep reverence for the body's wisdom. My background includes a Master's in Social Work from Wayne State University and continuing advanced studies in neuropsychoanalysis and neuropsychology.

I am a graduate of the Compassionate Inquiry Professional program, spearheaded by Dr. Gabor Maté, deepening my understanding of trauma and somatic processing. I have trained extensively in sex therapy, tantra, yoga, and somatic work, blending ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practices.

What I have learned through decades of study and direct experience is this. Healing is not just about insight. It is about embodiment. That is why I created the Conscious Embodiment Approach.

The Work

Where movement becomes medicine, and stillness reveals the soul's quiet truths.

The approach

My Approach

Healing is not just about talking. It is about returning to the body.

At the heart of my work is the Conscious Embodiment Approach, developed through decades of clinical experience, personal healing, and mentorship with globally respected teachers. It combines psychodynamic insight, somatic practices, and relational healing to guide you toward self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and inner peace.

Every session is personalized and guided at a pace that feels safe for you. We honor your story, your nervous system, and your body's wisdom. Through presence, intuitive guidance, and evidence-based tools, I help you reclaim your voice, restore inner harmony, and create lasting change.
