Safety, pleasure, and consent—starting in the body.
Trauma can profoundly impact how we experience touch, arousal, desire, and trust. Somatic sex therapy offers a body-based path to reclaiming sexual agency and joy. Whether you're navigating triggers, numbness, disconnection, or shame, we move at your pace—honoring the wisdom of your body and gently restoring your capacity for safe, authentic intimacy. This work can be done individually or with a partner, always with clear boundaries and consent at the core.
