New hours available: Suns, Mons & Weds 8, 9 pm. I specialize in providing holistic, integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapy with a focus on sex, relationships, and perinatal wellbeing. I am experienced in working with folks of all gender identities and relationship structures, from traditional marriages and divorces to complex polycules, relationship anarchy and more. On another theme, I also work with people finding their footing in academia or, conversely, contending with leaving it. I am happy to do a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
My hope is to create a sense of safety for clients to cultivate compassion for themselves and their intimate partners in order to develop insights into patterns that no longer serve and to develop skills to to approach the many stresses and traumas of life with increased integrity, curiosity and resilience. Warmth and humor are foundational to my approach.
