I offer compassionate custom-tailored individual and couples therapy to people seeking to make meaning of their experiences, to advance their self-understanding, and to improve the quality of their lives. I am also an AASECT-certified sex therapist who helps clients improve their sexual relationship with themselves and others. My approach is relational and warm, primarily from a strengths-based psychodynamic perspective with behavioral interventions drawing from CBT/DBT and mindfulness practice. I use an interactive style to help you clarify the root of struggles, identify barriers, and create pathways to move forward.
I work primarily with adults across the lifespan- individuals, couples, and groups. I am also an AASECT-certified sex therapist and am sex literate, kink- and poly-friendly. My expertise includes working with trauma survivors, individuals in LGBTQI+ communities, gender-specific work, male survivors of sexual violence, sexual compulsivity (OCSB), & HIV/AIDS.
Interventions are custom-tailored to your needs, including ongoing supportive therapy, shorter-term solution-focused therapy, & focused therapy around gender/sexuality issues (ex: coming out, transition, sexual difficulties). I believe in holistic approaches to health and encourage a balance of physical, spiritual, medical, and therapeutic interventions.

I often work at the intersection of identity, gender, sexuality, and mental health from a trauma-informed collaborative stance. I am engaged and active in sessions, give feedback and help with meaning-making and insight development, and I provide an affirming space to address issues that many people may not have spaces to process otherwise.

I often use psychodynamic perspectives in my practice, which look at patterns of behaviors and relationship dynamics that may have originated in earlier life and may be helpful or not serving someone. I operate from a trauma-informed and social justice perspective and I specialize in exploring the impact of sexuality, sexual function, ajd relationships on one's experience of pleasure.
