I've heard clients say.... "I've been in therapy before but it just hasn't helped that much" --“I’m tired of being triggered. How can I get control over my emotional reactions --"Can you help me get over past trauma that's holding me back" -- “I keep seeking some kind of fulfillment or peace but it always seems just out of reach” --"I'm feeling stuck. How can I get unstuck!" -- "What are some tools to get over my anxiety" --"I long to be more connected to my spirituality" --

I have had the privilege of working with people who enjoy a variety of kinks and fetishes, ranging from ABDL and age players, to Furries and Pups, to Hotwives and more. I am well-versed in supporting Switches navigate the duality of their needs; Doms manage the vulnerability of Top Drop; and Subs negotiate contracts with intentionality. Whether you are new to exploring your kinks or realizing a need for more like-minded community, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space.
I love working with adults (17+) experiencing stressors associated with life transitions from early adulthood, identity and relationship concerns (including unique challenges of the LGBTQ+ population), to acute and chronic health issues, parenthood, midlife crises, failure to launch, empty nesting, and end-of-life matters. I'm also honored to support fellow immigrant and refugee clients, assisting them with cultural adaptation and related trauma.

Do you feel like issues from your past are making it so you can't connect with others? Our brains are wired for connection, but trauma rewires them for protection. When we are stuck in protection mode it prevents us from connecting with others and puts us at risk for further hurt. When this happens we may feel broken and stuck repeating patterns that hurt our relationships. Together we will work towards healing and discovering how to connect in a healthy safe way.
I work with a range of folks. One thing we in common is a desire to see change and engage in meaningful work quickly. You may express a desire to make a major change in your life, or perhaps an unexpected change just occurred and you are looking for support and processing. Perhaps you have navigated your life thus far while dragging along anxiety, depression, or trauma and you desire a change. I am here for all of it. If you like a blend of structure and open discovery, I am a good fit for you.
Are your relationships suffering? Are you struggling to date, preserve your relationship, or find sexual satisfaction in your relationships? Are you trying to get pregnant, suffering from a loss, or a new parent feeling disconnected from your baby? Relationship issues are often at the core of our suffering and can leave us feeling alone, rejected, and misunderstood. You deserve the chance to feel seen, to heal, and to grow through and toward connection.
Feeling caught in a frustrating pattern in your dating life or committed relationship? Feeling like experiences in your past are making it difficult to attain or sustain connection? In an era of online dating and instant connection that feels like disconnection, we will work together to understand your past, your current negative patterns, and how to make changes towards healthy relationships.

Viewing my role in clients’ lives as a privilege, I approach my work with warmth, candor, and a genuine belief in our potential for growth. Client's often seek services to gain insight into their experience of emotions, relational patterns, past trauma, and present functioning. Together, we work to illuminate a client's story with regard to their past, present, and future goals.
Are you feeling a sense of shame about who you are? Are you wanting to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current struggles? Are you having curiosities about your identity or patterns in life? People often experience suffering due to the pressures and stigma placed on them from relationships and society. These experiences can often make us feel a sense of shame that keeps us stuck and disconnected in our lives. You deserve to reclaim your voice, power, and worth.
The people I work with often come to me because they are looking to gain insight into emotional patterns, address difficult dynamics, and develop more balanced relationships with themselves or others. Together we paint a picture of their life stories, work to integrate the various aspects of themselves, and move towards the life they want to be living. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds and promote authentic expression and reflection in the therapy room.
