My website

I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma/PTSD, anxiety, and challenges related to sex and intimacy. Many of my clients feel isolated or uncertain about discussing experiences or identities that don’t always feel understood elsewhere. Therapy with me is a space to process past experiences, reduce anxiety, and build practical coping tools that support meaningful change. I offer an affirming, sex-positive approach and am LGBTQIA+ affirming, poly-aware, and kink/BDSM-aware. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices, with a commitment to ongoing learning so care stays responsive, relevant, and ethically sound.

I use cognitive-behavioral and person-centered approaches to support meaningful, measurable change, guided by your goals and values. My trauma work draws on Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). For anxiety and sexual concerns, I integrate current research, exemplary practices, mindfulness, and cognitive strategies.

Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood or unsure where to turn. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. If you’re looking for a collaborative, thoughtful space to explore what’s getting in the way of the life you want, I invite you to reach out.
