Are you feeling overwhelmed by changes or uncertainty in your life? Do you want to heal from past experiences, find your confidence navigating a new phase of life, or build a life that fits you better? You don’t have to figure it out alone! People who work with me build their ability to deal confidently with their stressors and struggles. Couples who work with me learn to interrupt the things that are getting in the way of the connection, communication, and intimacy they are longing for.
I work a lot with grief and loss, parenting, non-monogamy, and sexual concerns (such as desire discrepancy, sexual trauma, and identity exploration). I embrace a strengths-based, queer affirming, and trauma-informed approach. In practice, this often means I start by helping folks understand and find compassion for their emotions and needs.
When life feels overwhelming, healthy connections with ourselves and one another allow us to thrive. I will create a welcoming, supportive, connected space for our work together. I aim to support you when you need to be supported and challenge you when you need to be challenged. Laughter AND tears are welcome and expected! Let's get started today!

"
I start by understanding the concerns that are bringing you into therapy, your goals, and your family background. I believe that the ways we learned to connect with and experience love from others are shaped in the families and cultures we grew up in, so I draw from attachment theory, feminist theory, and mindfulness in my work. I have also completed Gottman Level 1 and 2 training.
