I believe that each of our lives is an ecosystem, comprised of the interconnecting forces that influence our well-being. This includes our relationships with other people, with cultural and economic forces and even our own bodies. When we are out of balance or suffer trauma, we are often left feeling anxious, depressed or lost. I act as an ally in making the ecosystem of your life more healthy and vibrant. Clients often leave sessions with greater clarity, concrete tools, and renewed confidence in their abilities.
My approach integrates evidence-based practices with relational and strengths-based methods, helping you not only understand yourself more deeply but also make meaningful, lasting changes. My clinical interests include but are not limited to perinatal mental health/infertility, life transitions, ADHD, sexuality concerns and healing trauma.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and stages of life. I am a sex-positive, LGBTQIA, kink and poly affirmative therapist. I have a particular interest in working with social change-makers such as artists, lawyers, professors, labor and community organizers, writers, teachers and other advocates. I am fully licensed in California and Iowa.
