It's exhausting feeling stuck. Do you want to feel less depressed, stressed and more understood in your life? Are you struggling to adjust, doubting yourself, your body, your partner, and/or contemplating leaving a relationship? Maybe you feel disconnected from others, are frustrated with your level of desire, or struggling with postpartum/any women's health issue. If any of this resonates with you, I can help. I work exclusively with individuals looking to break out of depression, anxiety, patterns of conflict, enhance communication skills, and rediscover a deeper emotional and physical intimacy in their relationships.
As a dually licensed therapist with advanced training and expertise in relationships, sexuality and intimacy, my goal is to work with you in developing a deeper understanding of who you are and support you through your journey. My specialty is working with women and couples struggling with postpartum, relationships, intimacy, and sexual issues.
Life is too short to feel stuck and unhappy. If you're struggling with communication, trust, sex/intimacy, or life changes, I can help you break through and buffer these difficult times. If you are ready to move forward in a direction you desire and improve your life's relationships, call or email today. I will do my best to respond within 24 hrs.

I utilize a variety of treatment modalities, based on the client or couple's needs. Consistently, I operate from a systemic, non-judgmental lens and my style is characterized by warmth, empathy, humor, and a caring, but direct approach. I conceptualize clients within the context of the systems they exist in. With sex therapy, I use a sex-positive approach to reframe any sexual biases or beliefs.
