My work

I support my clients on their journey to:

• Stay emotionally grounded in relationships

• recognize self-abandonment

• regulate their nervous systems in love

• transform limerence into a real connection

• build self-trust from the inside out

My Approach

This approach is what I call: The Real Poetic Paradox - learning how to be fully yourself while fully showing up in love

• somatic awareness

• attachment repair

• nervous system regulation

• creative and poetic reflection

who I work with

• LGBTQIA+ identifying adults

• Queer late-bloomers

• Self-aware people who still struggle in love

• People healing from the experience of limerence

• People struggling with anxious/avoidant attachment dynamics

• polyamorous or open relationships

• neurodivergent & highly sensitive people

• Therapists & healers

Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful, and emotionally intelligent.

And still…love destabilizes them.

My Core offerings

The Real Poetic Paradox focuses on relational healing within LGBTQIA+ communities. Many queer people learned early that love could be unsafe, hidden, or uncertain. The nervous system adapts to those conditions. This work supports the process of unlearning survival patterns so love can feel safe, and you can stay.

IAT™ Coaching

The Art of Staying: The Self-Trust Method for Love That Doesn’t Cost You Yourself

The Art of Staying is a 6-week foundational virtual group experience for queer women who understand their relationship patterns but still find themselves chasing, merging, abandoning themselves, or disappearing when love feels uncertain. Together, you'll learn how to recognize activation, understand the roots of self-abandonment, build self-trust, communicate your needs, and practice staying connected to yourself while staying connected to someone else.

What you learn inside The Art Of Staying:

• You Are Not Broken

  Understand the nervous system patterns without shame

• Intensity is Not Intimacy

  Recognize activation, chemistry, and rapid merging without confusing intensity with safety

• Self-abandonment as Adaptation

  Understand shame, unmet needs, and the creative adjustments (defenses) that once

  helped preserve attachment

• The Practice of Self-Trust

  Notice emotions, identify needs, practice boundaries, and make small choices that keep you connected to yourself

• From Self-Trust to Interdependence

  Identify your needs, meet your needs for yourself, express your needs relationally, and practice receiving while developing pacing and curiosity

• The Art of Staying

  Pause before chasing, choose reciprocity over fantasy, tolerate peace, and practice returning to center when activated

  You don’t have to chase certainty to feel safe. You can pause, come back to yourself, notice what’s actually happening, and choose from a place of self-trust rather than activation.

• Losing yourself in love

• emotional fusion

• limerence & obsession

• fear of abandonment

  To:

• Self-Trust

• Embodied boundaries
