Do you feel like a misunderstood weirdo, even though you might look normal? I’ve got your back. Feel cramped by societal expectations and want to find the freedom and empowerment to be fully yourself? Step into my (virtual) office. I want to work with you if you are on the precipice of change. Or in the throes of shedding the skin of your former self. Or eyeball-deep in crisis. I want to work with you if, somewhere in there, you suspect that these times are the ones that hone our edges, define who we are and are not, and allow us to emerge from the ashes more empowered, brighter, stronger, and more fully in ownership of our truth.

We all have a story to tell. Our lives are full of hopes and dreams, fears and struggles. No matter if the client in front of me is a twenty year old struggling with their gender or sexual identity , a couple in their 40's experiencing mismatched desire, or a sixty year old with sexual dysfunction concerns, we all need someone to listen and support us. I consider myself to be an empathetic therapist. I want to support my client as best. I also know that it isn't easy to go to therapy and I want to be someone who starts with where the client is at, but also know that I can be direct at times if needed, and softer at other times.

In life, challenges arise — relationship conflict, life transitions, fertility struggles and complicated pregnancies, postpartum anxiety, depression, anger. What do you do? Even the most supportive and loving relationships face difficulties. Many couples and individuals ignore the issues, assuming “things will work themselves out on their own,” and continue to suffer in silence. But you deserve to feel heard and understood. The ability to turn adversity into strength is an empowering skill available to everyone, with the right tools. I offer teletherapy as well as in-person therapy, for your convenience.

I love what I do and my greatest passion is helping couples, families, and individuals learn to communicate in a way that promotes healthy connection and healing in their relationships.

I also enjoy helping those who suffer from anxiety, depression, body image and eating disorders, and any other obstacle that may be keeping one from growing and flourishing in their lives.
