I am a sex & relationship nerd, mentor, coach, healer, multidisciplinary artist, event organizer, self-described weirdo, and science-loving spiritual being who is passionate about helping intellectually-minded folks feel more present, joyful, and at ease in their bodies.  I pride myself on creating space for both the intellectual & the somatic, firmly believing that there is plenty of space for the two to co-exist.

I began my career with a fairly brief but successful stint in the environmental justice non-profit sector. Working as a consultant for a state agency, I facilitated an intersectoral regional climate collaborative in a rural conservative region of California and launched a statewide racial equity focused grant writing initiative. I then transitioned into managing a selective fellowship program where I supervised 15-20 young professionals each year as they undertook specialized projects to establish their budding climate careers. This work allowed me realize that my true passion was supporting folks 1:1 in working toward their individualized goals through a trauma-informed, interdisciplinary, and somatic lens.
​
A global pandemic, the end of a six year relationship, the death of my father, and many long days and nights of soul searching later, I took a big risk to follow my heart - quitting my salaried office job to return to school so that I could launch my own private practice as a therapeutic touch & relationship practitioner.

In addition to formal education in the modalities of Surrogate Partner Therapy, Somatic Sex Education, and Sexological Bodywork, I am informed by my personal journey though trauma and healing. My practice is informed by my personal studies of psychology, attachment theory, tantra, kink, yoga, somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), contact improvisation, and ecstatic dance.
