You’re not bad in bed... you just need the right tools, language, and space to explore what’s already there.

That’s what my online courses are designed for.

For individuals wanting to reconnect with their bodies, or couples hoping to rebuild desire and communication ~ these courses help you understand why things feel off and how to find your way back to connection, confidence, and pleasure.

They’re self-paced and private, with the same practices I use in my sessions.

No pressure. No performance. Just professional guidance that actually helps.

The first step is starting where you are ~ everything you need to build deeper connection begins there.

It sounds backwards, right? The truth is: healthy relationships often bring up the deepest and often unhealed parts of us.

Why? Because when you finally feel safe with someone, old wounds surface.
When there’s real intimacy... your defenses tend to get tested.

Being triggered doesn’t always mean the relationship is “wrong or unhealthy.”

Sometimes, it means you’ve found a partner who is finally giving you the chance to heal those wounds.

Strong couples don’t just “know” each other ~ they keep learning about one another.

The Gottman Institute calls this your “Love Map”: the mental picture you hold of your partner’s inner world.

Their dreams, fears, memories, likes, dislikes, daily stresses, and joys.

Love Maps aren’t static.
People change.
Circumstances shift.
Desires evolve!

Could you make a love map of your sweetie?

Recently on social media, I’ve been seeing more and more talk about turning to ChatGPT for advice....even for therapy.

And yes, AI might give you a tidy, logical answer... yet, emotional work isn’t tidy, uniformed or logical. We are messy and complex humans. The part where you sit with your feelings, question yourself, and have real conversations that challenge you is what will support your growth.

Do you find yourself saying things like “you always do this” or “forget it, never mind” when you’re upset with your sweetie?

We don’t always realize how our words land, especially in the middle of a high tension point and feeling triggered ourselves.

Small shifts in language can completely change how safe, heard, and understood both people feel.

Which one of these are you working on unlearning?

When something unresolved in you gets stirred up, it’s easy to pin it on your partner. Yet, often, our reactions says more about our past than the present moment.

Here are 3 signs you might be projecting:

1. Your reaction is way bigger than the moment.

Your partner says something small, yet you feel hurt, panicked, or shut down. That’s your nervous system pulling in something old. This is projection at it’s finest, when the past hijacks the present before you even realize it.

2. You’re convinced you “already know” what they’re thinking.

Projection loves certainty. It tells you: “They don’t care,” “They’re mad,” “They’re pulling away.” But often, that’s your fear speaking, not the facts.

3. You’re fighting someone else’s ghost.
Your ex. A parent. A past version of your partner.

If you feel like you’re stuck in the same emotional loop no matter what they say, you might not be responding to them at all.

The good news:
When you notice you’re projecting, you get to slow down and shift from reaction into reflection.

THE 90-SECOND RULE: most emotions only need about 90 seconds to move through your body.

That wave of anger? That hit of sadness or anxiety? It’s not permanent unless your thoughts keep looping the story that created it.

And, you don’t have to shut it down or rush through it. Just don’t attach a narrative that keeps it stuck.

Feel it.
Breathe.
Let it pass.

Your body knows how to move through emotion, your mind just needs to let it!
