In her own words:

"My philosophy has always been to help clients and students to find their own way through education as well as personal insights. I have used this approach in all of my roles and I find that most people get more out of their learning and their growth than if they are only offered one or the other. I use a humanistic approach, with respect for the intersections of all of a person's identities, values and ideas as well as their goals. Whether I am working with a coaching client, a couple or a supervisee, I craft personalized activities and exercises unique to each client or student, as well as offering media recommendations such as reading materials and podcasts. I genuinely, deeply enjoy working on problems, helping people to find their own unique voice, and supporting partners to become closer, happier and healthier in their lives."

Coaching help and interventions include empowerment, sexual and intimate communication, troubleshooting stuck places, pleasure enhancement, shame reduction, navigating from monogamy into consensual non-monogamy, sacred sexuality practices/Tantra, breakup help/conscious uncoupling, relationship skills and more.
