Registered MFT Intern · Relationship & Sexuality Coach

The intimacy and connection you've been looking for is closer than you think.

This is where you find it. I work with individuals and couples navigating desire, intimacy, identity, trust, and everything in between. No judgment. No scripts. Just real guidance toward the connection you want.

Couples wait an average of 6 years before seeking help for relationship problems. The ones who come sooner have a significant advantage.

Gottman Institute Research

I'm Emily, and the clients who do this work always say the same thing afterward. They wish they had started sooner.

You've probably spent a long time wondering if there's a space where you can say the thing you've never said… or if there's even a way to say it. About your relationship, your desires, who you really are, what you crave, and what quietly aches. I am here to tell you there absolutely is.

I work with couples ready to rediscover each other in a way that creates a dynamic you are excited to wake up to each day. I work with individuals who are ready to step into their sexuality without shame or explanation, and in doing so, discover some of the most honest and alive intimacy of their lives.

My approach weaves evidence-based methods based on long-term research and human sexuality with genuine warmth, so you leave every session feeling both held and moved forward. Nothing you bring here is too much, nor are your visions of the future or desires for what life can look like. When you're ready, this is where you come.

What it feels like to work with me

From the moment you walk in, you'll notice something different. This is a space where you can finally exhale.

01.
You will feel safe here

Whatever you've been carrying privately, the desires, the questions, the things you've searched at midnight and never told anyone, I've heard something like it before. Shame loses its power the moment it's spoken in the right room.

02.
You will actually move forward

Feeling heard matters. And so does progress. I bring warmth and real engagement to every session, and I'll gently help you see what you might be avoiding so you leave with more than just relief. You leave with momentum.

03.
You won't have to explain yourself

My background in sexuality, relationships, and human behavior means I already bring a lot of context to the room. You don't have to justify your identity or defend your desires. We start from understanding and go from there.

04.
The work happens on every level

I work with couples together and with each partner individually, because the deepest relationship work often happens in both rooms. When you understand yourself more fully, you show up differently for each other.

Ready to start?

The intimacy you want is already within reach. Let's find it together.
