Are you seeking a more fulfilling sex life? Perhaps you have lost or never experience a "sex drive" or not content or comfortable with the kind of sex you are having? Sexuality can be a core aspect of our sense of self and yet there are few places to explore this. I offer a therapeutic space where you do not have to hide parts of your life due to judgment, stigma or shame. I will help guide and support you to understand and learn about the kind of sex that YOU find fulfilling.

You worry you aren’t doing things right and you’re burdened with challenges that keep you stuck.

Let's discover together how to reconnect with your values and reclaim the life you want to live.
While I work with a wide range of folks, I tend to be the person folks come to when other therapies haven't worked. Relational Somatic Psychotherapy is a deep and powerful therapeutic approach. It works at a very deep and primal level. We combine neuro-biologically informed treatment with mindfulness, movement, traditional talk therapy, drama therapy and more, all in the container of our relationship.
Do you find yourself feeling anxious or depressed no matter what you do? You may be struggling with difficult memories, substance abuse or phobias. You may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for things to change. You’re ready to find some relief. Most of all, you’re ready to break and move forward with your life.

Are you living life on autopilot? Have you achieved everything that was expected of you but still feel like something is missing? This is a common experience among individuals who were often only valued for their accomplishments and self-sufficiency, without being seen as a whole, complex person. Unfortunately, many of these people give up on their authenticity and feel trapped in an unfulfilling life, catering to the expectations of others. This can lead to abandonment of self and resentment.
I have a particular interest in working with clients experiencing life transitions in their career and interpersonal relationships. My own background includes working with highly creative individuals, and I encourage clients to bring their creative work into the therapeutic process.

I specialize in men's issues, relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-worth, and help all my clients to prioritize their self-care as they navigate burnout and boundary setting. I'm sensitive to themes of people pleasing, perfectionism, internet/gaming addiction, life/career transitions, and work/life balance. I collaborate with clients of all backgrounds and lifestyles in both English and Spanish. I take pride in supporting couples (poly/kink friendly) and individuals (LGBTQI+ affirmative).
Are you anxious or stressed? A bit of a perfectionist for whom things are not perfect? Are past events getting in the way of what you want to do in the present? I love working with adults and teens dealing with anxiety or panic, trauma (including complex trauma), creative/entertainment industry issues, relationships, and identity issues.
Are you experiencing severe anxiety, overwhelmed by fear, struggling to sleep or confused by your loss of interest in things that used to bring you joy? Are you feeling emotional unstable in an intimate relationship, but stable in all your others? Do you say to yourself, 'something is not right', but can't pinpoint what it is? You may have been targeted by a Narcissist or experienced relational trauma. Together you and I will work together to discover the source and reclaim yourself.
Do you feel like you're trudging through life, weighed down by a constant sense of sadness & worry? Perhaps the joy you once knew has faded, replaced by a persistent feeling of being stuck. You're not alone. Millions of adults struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, & an overwhelming sense of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy and the crippling anxieties can be really difficult.

I have diverse experience working with sexual diversity, addictions and cultural challenges.
You feel like you are on the verge of losing your mind. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to quiet your worrying thoughts. On the inside, you probably feel dread in the pit of your stomach as a constant reminder that something bad could happen at a moment's notice. This makes it very hard to concentrate or to let your guard down. Constant worry or intrusive thoughts leave you feeling exhausted and irritable. An unspoken consequence of your anxiety is a defeating sense of shame.
