Welcome to Oak & Cypress Counseling: I'm glad you're here. I support individuals and couples managing depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual functioning issues, sexuality concerns, and more. I support both straight and LGBTQ+ individuals and both monogamous and nonmonogamous relationships. I offer premarital counseling and can support partners recovering from infidelity. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, ACT, and EMDR techniques. I am a sex-positive, kink-aware therapist.
I’m here to walk beside you as you work toward being the version of yourself you want to be—as an individual and as a partner. I build a warm, supportive relationship with my clients to help them find their way through their hardest moments to a more balanced and peaceful place in their lives and partnerships.
Please note: for sessions with individuals, I am in-network with Aetna as well as Blue Cross and Blue Shield. I can provide a superbill for out-of-network clients. I do not accept insurance for couples counseling—all couples counseling sessions are self-pay.
