You may have spent years being the dependable one, the one who anticipates needs, meets expectations, and keeps the peace. Over time, those roles can start to feel like a script you never agreed to. Maybe you’re noticing how far you’ve drifted from your own desires, how much of your life has been shaped by what others needed from you. Even if you appear composed, you might feel tired, stretched thin, and longing for a way to reclaim your own story.

I work with children (10+) and adults who are ready to move beyond survival, people who want to understand themselves more deeply, break free from old patterns, and create lives rooted in meaning and connection. My approach is collaborative, relational, and non-pathologizing, grounded in psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed frameworks. I also integrate somatic awareness, attachment theory, mindfulness, and parts work when they support the process, tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs.

I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and commitment to your mental health journey. This may feel like a holistic and person-centered approach that explores bodily consciousness, emotional processing, belief systems, social supports, cultural upbringing, and past trauma. You can also expect to develop practical tools for managing stress and building resilience as well. Above all, therapy should leave you feeling empowered, capable, and heard. My goal is to foster a safe environment where you feel free to open up without fear of judgement and the accountability to progress towards your goals, both within and beyond our sessions.

As a relationship therapist, I see client issues through a lens of connection, both with others and with the self. Issues that I specialize in, such as trauma, relationships, death/loss, and emotional instability, are felt even stronger when we're isolated. Along with friend and family support, establishing a healthy, aligned relationship with your body is a powerful step towards healing. Learning to appreciate your own strength, resilience, and wisdom can foster deeper self-compassion. Your bond with yourself is so very valuable, it's the first and last relationship you'll ever have in life.

Schedule instantly through my website link in my bio! As a queer BIPOC individual, my passion is working with other individuals, relationships, and family systems of the queer and or BIPOC community. If you grew up in a culture that viewed mental health as taboo, you may be feeling alone and hopeless. Know that you are not alone in your journey. I believe that people and relationships can thrive if given the proper support, nourishment, and environment. We are all given the same tools, but how helpful can it be if we were never taught how to use them?

We all carry deeply personal stories. I believe therapy can be a space of incredible healing and radical self-acceptance, one that allows us to rewrite some of those stories without the shame that may be attached to them, especially around sex, sexuality, and desire.
As a queer, neurodivergent person, I am particularly attuned to the experiences of clients who share those identities. My lived experiences in those spheres, as well as in the kink and non-monogamous communities, allow me to bring a fully sex-positive, gender-affirming, and culturally sensitive lens to the therapeutic space.

Picture this: I'm like your trusty sidekick on a quest towards a brighter, more fulfilling life, totally dedicated to cheering you on as you unravel your own unique path to personal growth. What makes me stand out? Well, I've got quite the story myself as an immigrant who took on the USA all by myself at 19. That journey? It taught me a thing or two about resilience, understanding different cultures, and most importantly, the incredible strength we all carry within. Those life-altering moments? They've shaped my approach to therapy, and now my goal is to help you tap into that inner strength, unleashing your true potential.

You hold it all together, but under the surface, you may feel anxious, stretched thin, or disconnected. You long for inner calm, self-trust, and a more alive connection to your body, relationships, and truth. My clients are soulful, sensitive, often high-achieving women, creatives, and professionals navigating anxiety, perfectionism, transitions, or complex relationship dynamics. Many are exploring embodiment, spirituality, non-traditional relationships, or a return to pleasure. You want relief—but more than that, you want to feel fully you again.

I believe that we all have a natural resilience that allows us to thrive, but life has a way of challenging that resilience. When someone finds themselves at a low point, it 's always helpful to have some there reminding us of our own strengths and abilities. My focus as a therapist is helping clients find that natural resilience in order to tackle life's challenges head on.

Why might an individual want to see a therapist specializing in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
A client seeking help with an open or consensually non-monogamous relationship will prefer to talk with a professional whom they can count on to be nonjudgmental. Talking with a supportive therapist may on its own help relieve some of the stigma and challenges partners face. That said, the most important factor in the success of any type of therapy is the ability of the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond. For this reason, an individual or couple could find success with a therapist who does not specialize in non-monogamous relationships but with whom they can build trust.
When should open or consensually non-monogamous partners seek counseling?
Like other couples, polyamorous partners typically seek counseling when they face relationship challenges they can’t solve themselves. In non-monogamous relationships, this could include breaches of trust, including infidelity; unclear rules or violations of boundaries; jealousy of outside partners; the stress of juggling the needs of multiple partners; or the effect of high partner turnover on children. Like those of other couples, polyamorous bonds can be threatened by increasingly frequent arguments, poor or dysfunctional communication, diminished emotional or physical intimacy, or the feeling that something is wrong, even if they don’t know what it is.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
No, but individuals seeking help with non-monogamous relationships would most likely consult a licensed professional with specific training in couples counseling or couples therapy. Couples counseling and couples therapy both involve teaching concrete strategies to navigate conflict in relationships. A good therapist can engage both partners as they explain these approaches but can also work with a single partner.
How long does therapy for consensually non-monogamous couples typically last?
Couples therapy for any type of couple, tends to be relatively time-limited, lasting around 12 weeks on average. A good therapist will tailor sessions to the individual partners’ emotions and sometimes their past, along with patterns found to be repeating in the relationship. In many cases, clients should expect their therapist to assign “homework” between weekly sessions.
