“Every [relationship] is a prism but you can’t see the rainbow without the edges, angles, and intersections.” ~ Brooke Skinner Ricketts
Finding More Meaning, Aliveness, and Pleasure
Are you searching for:
- Deeper connection and intimacy in your relationship(s)?

- Safety in navigating relational conflict?
- Guidance around whether to stay together or navigate separation?
- Premarital support or deepening your commitment in relationships?
- Working with past relational trauma that affects your relationships?
What is Integrated Sex and Relationship Therapy?
We often find ourselves re-experiencing the past while unraveling the threads of our attachment experiences in the present.
Finding ways to meet our own needs, build our capacity for agency, and show up honestly as ourselves in the present moment are key elements of healing sex, pleasure, and intimacy wounds.
The Journey
When I work with people around pleasure and connection, we explore how past experiences shape present relational dynamics. We then can begin to discover the roadblocks hindering the relationships and pleasure we deeply desire. It gives us a way to organize what’s happening regarding conflict, betrayal, unbalanced boundaries, ineffective communication, and the myriad other ways we show up that get in the way of contentment and intimacy.
- Center – What do you want for yourselves in and for the relationship? Are you focusing on what to do, or how to be?
- Curiosity – Where can you be curious about your partner(s), yourself, and your experiences?
- Compassion – How can you hold space for compassion when shame and guilt show up? How do we honor others’ identities and values while staying true to ourselves? How can we witness ourselves and our partner(s) in their most vulnerable places with humility and kindness?
- Strengths – What can we build on and develop that already exists?
- Shifting Relationships – What looks different as we explore what gets in the way of our desires and dreams for ourselves and in the relationship? What supported you to get there? How does this change how you experience yourself, your partner(s), and the relationship?
This step takes courage, honesty, vulnerability, willingness, trust, and hope. I’m ready. Are you ready?
