Relationship, Couples, and Sex Therapy in Boulder, CO
I work in present time, with the body, with attachment, with the deeper roots of how we learned to love and survive. I’m trauma-informed. I don’t hide behind theory. I offer my real opinions, direct observations, and clear guidance. I’m not a blank slate therapist—and that’s not for everyone. I’m honest. I’m compassionate. I don’t sugarcoat. And I’m fiercely invested in helping you come home to who you actually are beneath all the adaptations.
At the core of my work is a simple truth: you are already whole, wise, and intact underneath the protective strategies you had to build. My job isn’t to fix you—it’s to help you remember yourself.
I work with individuals and couples who are stuck, unraveling, re-patterning, or standing at a relational crossroads. That includes couples caught in endless conflict, navigating betrayal, disconnection, desire discrepancy, or sexual challenges. I support those healing from lifelong attachment wounds, relationship trauma, and emotionally abusive dynamics. I work with people grieving breakups, questioning whether to stay or go, rebuilding after divorce, and reinventing how they approach love, sex, and partnership.
Based in Boulder, CO, I work with couples of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures—including non-traditional and open configurations. I also support parenting dynamics, post-divorce relationship design, and blended families. Whether you’re trying to save a relationship, leave one with integrity, or finally do love differently—I meet you in the real terrain, not the idealized one.

I’m based in Boulder, Colorado, and my work spans trauma, attachment, sexuality, psychedelics, mindfulness, developmental psychology, and relational neuroscience—but I’m not loyal to any single model. I care about what actually helps people feel more free, more alive, and more like themselves. My work centers on identity trauma: the ways we fracture ourselves to survive love, family, culture, and relationship—and the work of becoming real again. Over time, I built my own way of working—direct, embodied, psychologically deep, and grounded in lived experience. I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship crises, betrayal, desire discrepancies, attachment wounds, sexual challenges, and major life transitions. I also offer psychedelic-assisted therapy for identity-level healing.
I studied at Bard College and later at Naropa University. I’m originally from New York, Italian by blood and temperament, and I’ve spent most of my adult life in Boulder. I have two adult children, a stepson, a longtime partner, and two dogs who keep the household emotionally regulated.
