Welcome!
I work with both individuals and couples on issues concerning intimate relationships and sexuality. In my work with couples the focus is on connecting with the best version of each individual and bringing that to the relationship to create the design that works best for both partners. Often, the dynamics that are set up in couples are pre-programmed from what was modeled for them and not necessarily what is best for them. I also work with people who have concerns about relationship conflict, anger management and intimate partner violence.
In my work related to sexuality, I support individuals and couples with concerns about function, arousal, performance, pleasure, and medical conditions that affect sexuality such as disabilities, chronic illness, pain disorders and historical sexual trauma.
I am trained in multiple evidence-based modalities, I draw from these as we work together, tailoring my approach to best fit you and your needs. I practice within the framework of trauma informed care; my approach is deeply compassionate where I facilitate an environment of safety, healing, and growth.
I look forward to connecting,
Michelle
