Many of the individuals, couples, and polycules I support come to therapy wanting to feel more emotionally connected, more sexually fulfilled, or less stuck in patterns around desire, behavior, or relationships that no longer serve them, especially when those patterns are difficult to change on their own. I offer secure online therapy throughout Washington, supporting clients from Seattle to Spokane and beyond.

With over 14 years of experience, I support individuals, couples, and polycules in creating change that feels grounded, lasting, and meaningful. My approach is holistic and relational, attending to emotional, sexual, psychological, and social wellbeing. I focus on strengthening the underlying patterns that support deeper connection, fulfillment, and resilience.

What does couples therapy with me look like? We explore where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you want to go together. I draw from specialized training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Imago Therapy, and Sensate Focus, helping couples strengthen communication, intimacy, and trust. Whether you’re healing after betrayal or deepening connection, I guide couples toward relationships that feel more secure and authentic.

I’m also passionate about supporting men in reconnecting with themselves, navigating relationship roles, and developing emotional and sexual health. For clients experiencing distress related to desire, sexual functioning, or compulsive behaviors, I offer informed, non-shaming support tailored to your values and goals.

Individual therapy with me is collaborative and strengths-based. If you’re looking for a space to better understand yourself, your relationships, and your patterns, we can work together toward meaningful, lasting change.
