Whether you're experiencing a significant life change, struggling with relationship dynamics, or facing challenges around intimacy and sex, I am here to support you.
We often carry past narratives into our present that no longer serve us or keep us stuck. My desire is to help my clients feel empowered, understood, and supported in exploring these narratives and moving through them, while dismantling shame and creating loving, healthy relationships with themselves, their partner and with sex.

I have an extensive background in the areas of trauma, LGBTQIA identities, sex and sexuality, interpersonal violence, family conflict, divorce, life transitions, anger, anxiety, and depression.
I like to be real with people. I find the best way to work with individuals and couples is to be present, ask the right questions, and give honest feedback. Whether you are coming to therapy for personal growth, a relationship or family issue, healing from loss, past trauma, or anything else, I want to explore who you are, how your life experiences have affected you and your relationships, ways in which those experiences keep replaying themselves, and how to get you out of the cycle. My approach is to provide a comfortable and real space to talk, explore and work on feeling better.

Maybe you keep attracting narcissistic or borderline partners, or you’re battling sex or porn addiction in secret.
As an attachment-focused therapist, I work with those struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, the fallout of abusive or manipulative relationships, and deep-rooted emotional pain that’s been ignored for too long. My approach is direct, unfiltered, and often infused with dark humor, because therapy should be real-not just polite conversation.

Sex is a healthy, human need - don't give up on it!
We're not taught how to create satisfying sexual relationships, or to be skillful lovers. Most of us try to figure it out on our own, and end up disappointed and frustrated. Intimacy is both an art and a science! I use IFS (Internal Family Systems), Tantra, Somatic Experiencing and more. NOTE: I do not work with sex addiction.

Sexual trauma, sexual dysfunction, intimacy challenges, couple in crisis, and issues with addiction comprise the bulk of my client caseload. I find that adults can hold the impact of childhood trauma for years before seeking psychotherapy and often mask their pain with anxiety, depression, difficulties with vulnerability and substance use.
