Hi, I'm Shani (she/her)

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationship?

Stuck in the same patterns and uncertain of how to change them?

If so, I am here to support you.

I specialize in relational and sex therapy, helping couples improve communication, shift negative patterns, and regain closeness. I help couples and individuals navigate sexual concerns, such as desire discrepancy, sexual functioning, sexual shame and trauma. If you are interested in rebuilding a sense of safety, connection and pleasure in your own body AND within your relationships, you have come to the right place.

I am invested in walking alongside you with compassion, non judgment, and curiosity as you explore your intra- and interpersonal worlds.

My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, anchored in Attachment Theory and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I also integrate narrative, parts work, and polyvagal modalities depending on client needs.

I recognize the compounding impacts of social and structural oppression on mental and emotional health. Social justice and liberation perspectives inform my work with clients. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation as a chance to connect and explore how I may be able to support you. I would love to hear from you.

Fun Facts: I am a first generation U.S. citizen, with Scottish and Ashkenazi Jewish roots. I am also neurodivergent and have invisible chronic illnesses. My passions include hiking, traveling, singing, and working with horses using non-traditional techniques. My dream is to blend therapy practice with my knowledge and skills of natural horsemanship.
