I am deeply compassionate and 100% committed to the therapeutic relationship, offering a discreet, comfortable, and safe therapeutic space.
My areas of clinical focus are sex therapy, relational health, chronic and complex trauma. Some challenges my clients face are discrepancies in sexual desire, arousal, pleasure, shame, lack of sexual education, sexual functioning, illness-related sexual changes, and body image. Common themes in my relational work are deepening connection, understanding conflict dynamics and attachment, communication, infidelity, and healing relational wounds and trauma. I work with individuals and partners, in monogamous and CNM relationships. I have lived experience, clinical experience, and training in working with Autistic adults and ADHD.

Hi! My areas of interest and expertise include working with people who have survived trauma and sexual abuse. Initially, I build rapport and a trusting relationship with you. One of our first tasks will involve identifying your values and strengths, and focusing on safety and stability; this is a major component to allowing successful trauma processing and resolution to occur. I also enjoy working with adolescents; having once been a teen in need of additional support, I am able to empathize and quickly connect with young people. Other topics focused on at my practice are BPD, anger management, self-esteem, and relational issues.

For couples therapy, I primarily use an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach.
I specialize in the treatment of adults and couples/relationships experiencing: sexual issues/dysfunctions (e.g., low desire/arousal, erectile/orgasmic difficulties, pain during sex, sexual difficulties following breast cancer treatment, and persistent genital arousal disorder/genitopelvic dysesthesia), trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and relationship issues (e.g., communication difficulties, sexual desire discrepancies, open or polyamorous relationship issues). Everyone comes into therapy with unique past experiences and future goals. I actively tailor evidence-based treatment to the unique needs and values of each client.

I am genuine in my approach to our therapeutic relationship.
Life is not always easy. Often we carry symptoms from our past that cause us to struggle on our journey. Talk therapy can help alleviate those difficulties so that you do not have to suffer in silence.
