As a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I support individuals and couples who are navigating the complexities of sex, intimacy, identity, and relationships. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner, wrestling with shame or anxiety around sex, exploring non-traditional relationship structures, or healing from infidelity or past relational wounds—you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. My work centers on helping clients build deeper self-awareness, rediscover pleasure, and create more authentic, connected relationships—both with others and themselves.

Do you ever feel stuck inside your head with no way out and the crippling anxiety intensifies? Sometimes talking to others can seem impossible, which can leave you feeling isolated and alone. Together, we can work towards uncovering the deeper meaning behind your symptoms and customize a treatment plan to help ease and work through your distress. Often, we’re so consumed by our intrusive thoughts that we forget to enjoy what’s happening right in front of us. My own therapeutic journey taught me to become more in tune with myself. I learned to appreciate the little things that we normally take for granted and to slow down.

She's accommodating, pleasant, never a burden. She's spent years making herself smaller, silencing her needs, keeping everyone else comfortable. She's the one everyone turns to - but when she's falling apart or navigating life's hardest moments? She's alone. I work with women struggling with anxiety, loss, life transitions, people-pleasing, unresolved trauma, and strained or one-sided relationships. Women who've held space for everyone else and are ready to let someone hold that space for them.

You're exhausted holding it all together. On the outside you look fine, but inside you're running on empty. The anxiety is constant, the guilt is crushing, you can't remember the last time you put yourself first without feeling selfish. You lie awake replaying conversations, say yes when you mean no, snap at people you love then feel terrible. I work with overwhelmed women carrying trauma and anxiety—whether from childhood, difficult relationships, or years of being everyone's caretaker. You've told yourself "I should handle this" or "I'm being dramatic." You're not! Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, and it's exhausted.

There are no thoughts, decisions, or experiences that are inherently good or bad - for they are all emotional imprints to be transformed into sources of courage and wonder. That's what I'm here for. I don't believe in band-aid approaches that offer temporary relief; but rather to help you confront and grapple with life's most intricate emotions and experiences, and emerge with a profound sense of meaning and fulfillment.

Is there a part of you that knows it’s time to take care of yourself, even if it feels hard to start? Maybe you are carrying unresolved experiences that quietly shape how you move through life. Maybe you're feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected—from yourself, your relationships, or the direction you hoped your life would take. I work with teens and adults to help them make sense of their emotional world and build stronger, healthier connections—with themselves and with each other.
