About Me

I am a New York City based somatic sex & relationship coach trained through the Somatica Institute,™ accredited by the American Board of Sexology.

I have been working to empower women around their bodies since 2015, and previously ran a digital maternal health company before returning to school to study sexology. I work with women and vulva owners to rewrite their stories and heal patterns in love, sex, confidence and relationships.

What differentiates my work from traditional sex therapy is that my sessions are largely experiential, which means I focus heavily on the body as well as real-life practice. Of course we talk about feelings, a lot, but practicing in real time (i.e. embodiment exercises, relationship skills, etc.), is far more effective in creating quicker results and long lasting change.

Sex and intimacy happens in the body; and our head is actually what often gets in the way. We all hold stories, traumas and patterns in our physical bodies and while we can learn a lot from talking about them, the growth and healing is exponentially faster when we learn to connect and listen to our body’s wisdom. 

We can’t just talk about intimacy, we have to feel it in our bodies.

In our sessions I will show up as myself. Unlike a traditional talk therapist, you will get to know the real me and we will use our real relationship as a tool to learn about your relationships with others and to practice ways to get your needs met in those other relationships.

In session we will explore what keeps you from living your fullest, most gorgeous life. We will laugh, cry, shake, play, and rage. If the thought of being that vulnerable makes you uncomfortable - then this work is definitely for you! This is where the magic happens.

I, too, was well out of my comfort zone when embarking on this journey. But this work has absolutely transformed me. Over the course of many years, I had seen half a dozen sex and couples therapists to help me with my own issues. None of that could even remotely compare to the growth I accomplished (for myself and my marriage) in just my first few weeks of somatic work. This is how I knew I absolutely had to share this knowledge with others. 

And now, I look forward to sharing this life-changing work with you.

MY MISSION

I don’t want to help you heal, I want to help you thrive. 

I want to help you live an ecstatic, joyful, orgasmic life in your full power.

I want you to feel the freedom and lightness when you liberate yourself from shame and patriarchal narratives designed to keep you small. 

I want to help you quiet the outside noise - the “shoulds,” the judgments, the fears - so that you can connect to your own voice. 

And then I want to help you use that voice to ask for what you want and confidently draw boundaries where you don’t.

I want you to know how to tap into to the erotic well that already exists within you so you can experience energy and aliveness whenever you feel like it.

I want you to stop faking orgasm or focusing on others’ pleasure before your own. 

I want you to know you’re not broken and your body has more capacity for pleasure than anyone ever let you believe. 

I want you to know your shadows, so they no longer control you.

I want you to ride the emotional waves life brings without getting swallowed by them.

I want you to know your body, and then I want to teach you how to share it with others.

I want you to fall head over heels with yourself and be your own best lover.

I want you to know how worthy of love you are. 

I want you to feel how delicious intimacy can be when you share yourself vulnerably.

I want to help you surrender into the soft, nurturing, joyful intimacy of deep relationships.

I want you to feel the aliveness that comes with awakening the erotic being inside you. 

All of this, and more, is within reach. Because she’s already there. She just needs to feel safe to come out. My mission is to give you the tools you need to deeply, profoundly, unconditionally love your whole self.

Let’s get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit.
