If you’ve been experiencing anxiety, low mood, challenges within your relationships or are coping with a change in your life I’d like to help.
While working in the trauma ICU at Brigham & Women's Hospital & supporting patients w/ cancer diagnoses at Dana Farber I learned the impact of not making assumptions, being curious, and truly hearing people's stories. In our sessions you can expect a non-judgmental environment, compassion and at times a sense of humor.

Despite being wired for connection, we often find ourselves "winging it" in relationships.
My couples and individuals want to see meaningful change in their lives, and they are ready to put in the work. With that, I often describe my style as "caringly confrontational." I provide a validating and nonjudgmental space while directly calling clients in if something is getting in the way of connection, intimacy, or sexual fulfillment.

Most of our struggles are relational in nature.
I have spent much of my adult life in creative communities aligned in non-monogamy, kink, and queerness. I have made a professional study of relationships, sexuality, alternative lifestyles, trauma, and mindfulness. This knowledge has allowed me unique insights which in turn allow me to better hold compassionate space and provide evidence-based solutions.
