We all want to love, be loved, do something meaningful, and have purpose in our lives, yet all too often prior relationships and life experiences have left us with coping skills that are unhealthy, ineffective or just downright baffling. As therapists, we are experienced in working with adults who have a history of childhood emotional abuse and/or neglect. Those we work with often find that they have difficult relationships, struggle to relax, and wish they were more in control of their lives.

What if you knew you can change how you feel about sex in your intimate relationship? What if you knew you can start wanting sex again? What if you knew you don't need to feel pressure and stress for having a lower libido than your partner? If you experience low libido and you feel like having sex in your intimate relationship is a chore or feels like an obligation, you should work with me!
My clients are people who want more from life and are ready to shed the limiting beliefs holding them back from being the most confident version of themselves. Throughout life, we learn defense mechanisms and poor coping strategies that keep our authenticity and inner spark locked deep inside of us. By going to therapy, you can dig through layers of programming that leave your true self boxed in, rewrite the stories that keep you small, and find the inner fuel for making the most out of life.
What truly ignited my path in this field was the realization that mental health is an integral part of our overall health and well-being. It's not just about treating symptoms; it's about empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives, fostering resilience, and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. The ability to provide support, understanding, and effective interventions to those in need is a calling I feel deeply connected to.
I provide individual psychotherapy to teens, adolescents, and adults. I have experience working with clients facing challenges relating to: anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, identity, family-of-origin trauma. I offer an affirming and accepting space for all queer, trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive identities within the LGBTQ+ community.
In order to serve clients with a broad range of diagnoses, I provide therapeutic interventions tailored to each individual case. Whether you are a couple looking to improve your relationship, or an individual hoping to gain insight and coping skills, your goals can be addressed.

My clients have often struggled to work well with therapists who don't understand who they are, who they love, and how they live their lives. I work with queer, trans, gender non-conforming, kinky, ethically non-monogamous individuals, couples, and relational systems who want to get to work in therapy, not spend sessions educating their therapist about their identities or being questioned about their choices.
Life can be hard! My hope is that working with me can help change that. I specialize in helping women and young people heal from challenging life experiences and trauma, even when it feels impossible, so you feel more joy, peace, and inspired to reach your goals. I also enjoy working with busy women, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and college students who are struggling to find balance or have felt like something is holding them back from creating the life they want.
In my clinical experience I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse population in age, culture, gender identity and expression, economic background, and diagnoses. This is one of the things I love most about being a therapist is being able to support all different people from all walks of life. I specialize in trauma work but have experience and enjoy supporting my clients in whatever challenges life brings.

Other areas of your life might be going well but you often feel stuck and frustrated with romantic relationships or friendships.

I can help you with life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, family issues and couples concerns, problems with your children, addictions (including food addiction,) career issues, and more.

You've done what you thought you were supposed to do, you may have accomplished some major milestones in your life, and yet you are left wondering- isn't it supposed to feel better than this? When your feelings don't match your expectations, you find it hard not to just act "fine" so that others don't think you're ungrateful for what you have. This leaves you feeling ashamed, confused, and alone. I can help you rediscover your own voice, and to finally feel calm, fulfilled, and connected.
Many individuals, couples, and families believe that their struggles have lingered on for so long, therefore “it will never go away”. Others tend to minimize it in hope that “it will just go away”. Research shows that work toward addressing problems can be the most interesting, rewarding, and empowering. It also promotes taking better control over one's life.
Many of us feel disconnected, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone in a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity.
Sometimes life is really hard and we need a space to express our thoughts, feelings and experiences that continue to hurt today. Possibly you have experienced a trauma or stressful event that still impacts you. You may be depressed, anxious or are having problems in your relationships or at work. Perhaps you are struggling with managing your stress and know that something needs to change but you aren’t sure what steps to take. Therapy is a safe place to learn new strategies to heal.
