When it comes to therapy, I meet my clients where they are with empathy, authenticity, and an open mind. My approach is relaxed, positive, honest & understanding - like having a conversation on your couch, but with someone who is trained to help. My office offers a space that is open, accepting, and judgment-free.

I utilize a blend of clinical and holistic methods, including motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. I offer therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and partners in all relationship structures — including polyamorous and ethical non-monogamy (ENM) dynamics.

If you're ready to start, reach out today to schedule a free introductory consultation.
