1-on-1 psychotherapy for your relationship with yourself,
your body, and what you want.
Individual Therapy
You don't have to be in a relationship to do this work,
and you don't need to be single, either.
Why come solo?
So much of our culture treats intimacy as something that happens between you and other people. Almost nobody teaches intimacy with yourself, and I don't mean masturbation. I mean being deeply connected to your body, your senses, your feelings, and your desires. In other words: what do you want? And can you let yourself have it, without the guilt, without it being for some greater purpose or because its what you “should” do?
If you struggle to focus on yourself or take up space, individual therapy may help.
People arrive at this work from all different parts of life. The newly divorced, mourning the person they didn't become inside the marriage. Survivors in the first safe relationship of their lives, confused by a body that finally has room to feel. Women in perimenopause, no longer defined by their capacity for reproduction, whose bodies are organizing around a new reality and a new identity. And people pleasers, who already know they're people pleasers, and are tired of the knowing changing nothing.
The greatest F-you to whatever happened to you is to
reclaim a life rooted in pleasure.

FAQs
-
No. Much of sex therapy happens one-on-one, working with your own desire, body, and history.
-
Yes. Changing your half of a pattern changes the pattern. And some relationship work is better suited in individual therapy.
-
ne of my favorite parts of individual work is getting to center you, and I protect that. If relationship work makes sense down the line, I'll refer the two of you to one of my colleagues, so you both get a therapist with an unbiased take on your relationship, and you keep a room that's just yours.
-
There's no honest universal answer. We'll review progress together regularly, and you'll always know what I'm thinking and why.
