I have a special interest and training in working with couples and individuals experiencing sexual concerns. Specifically, I work with concerns around pain during intercourse (i.e. vaginismus, vulvodynia, and provoked vestibulodynia), desire discrepancies in couples, difficulty achieving orgasm, or achieving/maintaining an erection, premature ejaculation, etc. Additionally, I work individually with adults experiencing relationship distress, communication difficulties, developmental trauma, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
When working with clients I apply my training in emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) for couples and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to guide individuals in understanding and deepening their emotions in the service of regulating them, using them to guide adaptive emotional responses and lead a values-based life.
I strive to provide a warm, inclusive, and non-judgemental therapeutic space. I believe in providing sex-positive, poly- and kink-friendly, and LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy. I also encourage my clients to incorporate complementary interventions that address body, mind, and spirituality.

I often use emotionally focused therapy (EFT) in my practice & acceptance and commitment (ACT) therapy. In the first few sessions, we will explore the background and context for your concerns and outline goals. Therapy will focus on how your relationship with your emotions may be contributing to emotional distress, how your history influences this, and how to build a meaningful life moving forward
