I love working with individuals and couples with difficulty in romantic relationships (i.e. sexual issues, communication, infidelity, divorce - especially recent ones), adults who come from dysfunctional childhoods, as well as those with anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction. I also enjoy working with those in non-traditional romantic relationships (i.e. ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous). I am sex positive therapist. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance and the client/therapist fit.
I'm trained in DBT, CBT, mindfulness, ACT, EFT, CPT, and PE, and I work from an integrative approach. Though I am present focused, I focus on clients’ upbringing because I believe current patterns cannot be understood without examining the past. I also draw from lived experiences with marriage, divorce, solo parenting, and alternative romantic relationships.
I am very collaborative and help clients make meaningful changes in the areas that are important to them. Offering individual and couple sessions though teletherapy. Let’s work together to help you build a life worth living! Send me an email to get started.
