About My Clients

Relationships are tricky, aren't they? You started out head-over-heels, couldn't keep your hands off each other, looked forward to lazy Sundays in bed. Now? The passion fizzled out. Life got routine. There's a disconnect emotionally and physically. You miss date nights and spontaneous bedroom romps. It's normal for the crazy-in-love phase to mellow over time. But it shouldn't flatline. If the spark's gone and you've lost your intimate connection, it can leave you feeling insecure and isolated.

My Background and Approach

You ride an emotional rollercoaster worrying if things will get better or just fall apart. But you know you want to rekindle that fire. You want to enjoy each other again, be spontaneous, relaxed, present. Not just roommates or co-parents. As a sex therapist and couples counselor, I get it. I've been there myself. And I can help guide you back to a passionate partnership. My clients feel comfortable opening up to me in a judgment-free zone. I offer practical tips tailored to you, insights to regain confidence in yourself and your relationship. Small steps that lead to big changes. You're ready to invest in your partnership again. To build a relationship that supports your life and family, not drains you. Let's chat about how I can help. I offer online video counseling for busy Minnesotan couples and individuals - daytime and evening hours available. Reach out for a free consultation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that most relationships have the ability to flourish, they just need the right set of tools to help them improve communication, deepen intimacy, and build trust. I also believe that society gives us so many messages about sex and sexuality, leading to a lot of stigma around these topics. I believe in providing a safe and secure space, free from judgment, for my clients to explore sex and sexuality concerns and work toward the sex life of their dreams. Never judgmental and always honoring you as the expert of your own life, I am BDSM-, ENM-, and kink-informed, 2SLGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming, Body positive and sex positive, and Sex work-affirming. I work from a feminist and multi-cultural lens, understanding that who you are is made up of many wonderful and complex intersecting identities.
