Cancer treatment can change your body in ways that aren't always discussed before treatment begins. Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormonal changes, and other treatments can affect strength, mobility, sensation, bladder and bowel function, sexual function, lymphatic health, and your relationship with your body.The focus during cancer treatment is understandably on treating the cancer. But there is also life after cancer treatment, and you deserve support as you navigate what comes next.Depending on your needs, I can help with shoulder mobility and strength after breast cancer surgery, scar management, lymphedema care, pelvic floor rehabilitation, urinary or fecal incontinence, and sexual health concerns after abdominal or pelvic cancers. For people recovering from prostate surgery or radiation, this may include support for erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.We can also talk about changes in your body, sexuality, relationships, and sense of self. You don't have to figure out this new chapter alone.BOOK AN APPOINTMENT >

It's to help you understand what's happening and find a way forward that feels good and sustainable for you.BOOK AN APPOINTMENT >

“I hate when they touch me like that.”“My partner thinks I don't like their touch. I just don't like being touched like that.”Neurodivergent people experience sensory input, communication, and arousal differently than neurotypical people. Sometimes the challenge isn't a lack of desire or attraction- it's that the way something feels, sounds, smells, or happens simply doesn't work for your nervous system.Let's talk about it.We'll explore your sensory preferences, what feels good and what doesn't, and how to communicate those preferences with your partner or partners. We can also work through behavioral strategies to help you better understand your body's responses and create a sexual experience that feels more comfortable, pleasurable, and authentic to you.BOOK AN APPOINTMENT >

You may have grown up hearing that sex was something to be ashamed of, that your body was dangerous or sinful, or that certain thoughts, feelings, or desires made you a bad person. Maybe you’ve left a religious community and still carry those messages with you. Or maybe you’re still connected to your faith and are trying to figure out how your beliefs, your body, and your sexuality can coexist.Sexual shame can affect the way you experience your body, relationships, desire, pleasure, and intimacy- even long after the messages that created it are no longer part of your everyday life.You don't have to choose between your sexuality and the parts of your faith or identity that are meaningful to you. We can explore the messages you've received about sex and your body, identify what still feels true to you, and work toward a relationship with your body and sexuality that feels more comfortable, intentional, and authentic.There is no judgment here, and no expectation that you need to change your beliefs. You get to decide what you want to keep, what you want to question, and what you want to let go of.BOOK AN APPOINTMENT >
