Reclaiming Connection- to Yourself, Your Relationships, and Your Sexuality

Maybe you've spent a lot of time putting everyone else's needs first. Maybe you grew up with messages that made you question your body, your desires, or whether your needs mattered at all. Or maybe anxiety, trauma, health concerns, or relationship stress have made it harder to feel connected- to yourself, your partner, or your sexuality.

Savannah works with individuals navigating sexual wellness concerns, low desire, relationship challenges, health anxiety, OCD, trauma, and religious deconstruction. As a Certified Sex and Couple-Informed Professional (CSTIP), she helps clients talk through topics that can feel really personal or hard to bring up, including intimacy, desire, sexual health, body image, relationship patterns, and the impact of purity culture or faith-based messages on sexuality and self-worth. She also provides gender-affirming assessment letters for individuals pursuing gender-affirming medical care, with a process that is affirming, collaborative, and centered around each client's individual goals.

Whether you're trying to understand why intimacy feels hard, rebuild trust in your body, navigate changes in a relationship, process difficult past experiences, or untangle years of shame and anxiety, Savannah creates a warm, nonjudgmental space to work through it. Her approach is grounded in curiosity, helping clients better understand themselves without feeling like they have to judge or criticize every part of what they are experiencing.

Savannah uses a combination of EMDR, CBT, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) depending on what each client needs. With her training in EMDR, she can also help clients work through trauma, distressing experiences, and beliefs that may still be impacting how they see themselves, their bodies, or their relationships. She balances practical tools with deeper work, helping clients understand patterns, process what is underneath them, and feel more confident and connected moving forward.
