Services

I am continually seeking to expand my knowledge and capacity in order to care for the diverse people I serve.

I approach my work with clients as a scaffolding experience of combining our knowledge, lived experiences, and ability to navigate collaboratively with compassion, non-judgment, cultural awareness, and empowerment.

I work best with individuals and couples who lead with openness, curiosity, and a desire for personal growth.

I feel most effective at working with those who have experienced infidelity/relationship ruptures and want to heal with their partner and relationship, those who have experienced sexual assault/trauma, people who want to explore emotional stuck points related to sexuality, and folx who want to broaden their sexual relationship with self or partner(s).

Wellness Coaching

*$125/hour

Mastering nutrition, fitness, stress management, and developing the confidence to sustain your optimal level of wellness, is a journey of personal growth.

Wellness Coaching delivers a new growth-promoting relationship designed to help you master your well-being. A professional coach is a partner in defining “Point B,” and co-designing and co-navigating the journey to get there through weekly coaching sessions, typically for three months or longer.

Coaches don’t make it easy for us by giving the answers; they facilitate our self-discovery and forward momentum. Baby steps are the key to achieving long term goals. Accepting yourself where you are currently and being ready to make changes that build on the positive things you are already doing is the most important step. From there, figuring out the priorities that will enable you to feel empowered to continue onward to your top 3 goals for your own optimal wellness is essential for achieving balance in your life.

Fitness Training

*$100/hour

We are all aware that proper nutrition and fitness are essential components to optimal health, however sometimes it is difficult to know just where to start.

One-on-one consultations and/or training is the easiest and quickest way to begin a positive improvement in your lifestyle. I will help you make realistic improvements in your daily routine to increase your fitness level, physical health and mental health.

Strength training boosts metabolism, fat burning ability, muscle tone, posture, self confidence and immune system. Learning a full body routine you can do even 2 times a week will help you achieve these benefits.

Write down dates, times and activities you will do for workouts in your calendar at the beginning of the week so they are as solid as any appointment that you wouldn’t cancel or miss.

*At this time, I am an out of network provider with all insurance companies. Many clients are able to utilize their out-of-network benefits for counseling services and get reimbursed by their insurance company. I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company which requires a diagnostic code. Please contact your insurance company to see if they accept Superbills and we can discuss the impact of diagnostic codes on your health records.
