I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, health-related challenges, relationship difficulties or uncertainty, or who have questions relating to intimacy and sexual health. Many people I see are wanting to make sense of what has been happening and find a way of moving forward that feels right for them.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices. My experience includes work in university clinics, clinical research, sexual health services, private practice, outpatient pain medicine, and community rehabilitation.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you are not sure where to begin. I hope to offer a space where you can talk openly about what feels important to you. You are welcome to reach out if you would like to see whether working together may be a good fit. I am currently offering a limited number of appointments via Telehealth only.
