SEX AND COUPLES THERAPY IN GRAND RAPIDS
and across Michigan

Therapy for meaningful relationships and thriving
sex lives.

Ignite passion, vitality, and confidence.

You’ve been passively holding back from getting what you want.

DO YOU…

  • Hesitate to put your needs on the table?

  • Long for more passion and connection with your partner?

  • Criticize or feel frustrated with your natural and imperfect body?

  • Avoid speaking or living your honest truth?

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. My therapy is just for you.

Sex and intimacy are closely linked to how we view ourselves and the bond we share with our partner. Where we struggle with sex and intimacy may be a window into what we’re facing in our relationship or why we’re hiding a sensitive part of ourselves. And the truth is, sex is still a stigmatized and taboo topic in our world today - and it can stir up our deepest emotions and the most vulnerable parts of who we are.

We’re not taught that it’s healthy to communicate our most complex intimate fears and salacious desires or fantasies. We’re not taught how to deeply talk with our partner about what disruptions in our sexual connection mean. Oftentimes we’re not even given permission to openly explore sex without feeling ashamed, or being shamed, for doing so.

We especially aren’t encouraged to view our bodies as sources of pleasure and joy. Your sex education, if you received one, likely included scare tactics or misinformation that made you shy away from gratification rather than turn toward it. And now you don’t know how to overcome anxiety or disconnection when it comes to such a delicate area of your life.

YOU WEREN’T EMPOWERED TO:

  • Use your voice.

  • Put pleasure first.

  • Compassionately love, accept, explore, and indulge your body.

  • Make healthy sexual decisions based on accurate, affirming information.

But that’s all about to change.

HI, I’M TRISTAN
(she/they)

I’m here to help you become the master creator of your intimate world.

As your therapist, I’m ready to help you shamelessly go after what you want, grow closer to the person you love, and discover why you’re only limited by what you believe you deserve.

When you begin to align with your sexual happiness, the positive impact can surge through every other part of your life, because your relationship with you is different.

And you are so worth that effort!
