I provide adult and adolescent (12+) individual and relationship therapy with a focus on reducing the effects of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I work with individuals, couples, throuples, and polyams in order to heal, heighten a healthy sense of self, with a sex-positive lens to improve intimacy in its many forms. I collaborate with those who are struggling in multiple stages of life: sexuality, coming out, gender-curiosity, transition, loss of a loved one, of a dream, and strained relationships. Let's explore how to tap into your potential to create your distinct identity and fulfilling connection with others.
I respect and honor the space where you hold confusion, anger, discouraging memories, sadness, disappointments. Through trust, guided mindfulness, somatic approaches, theories old and new, and humor, we can forge a path that feels right for you. I will help you calm the body, access the sources of conflict within, and make choices aligned with your core.
Everyone struggles. However, we do not have to do it alone. This is not Old World therapy, and it isn’t 'the expert fixing the broken.' You are the expert on you. Together, we'll explore how to connect you to who were before life happened. I am here to join you and to discover the solutions and healing capacity you already have.

Obtaining an MSW from St. Kate's allows me a perspective on therapy that is innovative and up-to-date with less rigidity surrounding the client/therapist relationship. Certainly, I have training and experience with multiple modalities. However, ultimately, we are human beings sharing a journey.

Calming the nervous system is the key to changing how we react to challenges. Talk therapy is crucial and yet does little to change the underlying 'software' written years ago. By combining mindful bodywork and talk therapy, we can update that code and free ourselves from the deeply embedded narratives that undermine our best efforts.

A combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, somatic interventions, SSP, and Sandtray Therapy help calm the nervous system. A genuine sense of curiosity lends itself to finding out what has worked for you, what hasn't, what did, but doesn't anymore. Finding those patterns is what elicits the awakening moments.
