As a lesbian-identifying therapist, I bring both clinical expertise and lived perspective to my work with LGBTQIA+ clients, supporting exploration of identity, sexuality, and relationships.
I use an integrative, evidence-informed approach drawing from person-centered therapy, ACT, mindfulness, and feminist and humanistic frameworks. My style is collaborative, direct, and flexible, helping clients deepen self-understanding, shift unhelpful patterns, and move toward a more connected, fulfilling life.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

My practice, 'KindMind Crossroads', is built on the foundation of acceptance, empathy, inclusivity and safety. The name of my practice is to convey the notion that we all experience a crossroad of challenges at varying points throughout our lives. The crossroad, even though often overwhelming, can be a time for healing, growth and renewal. For some of us, that means laying an entirely new path in which to walk; for many others it might mean repairing or adding on to the ones that already exist. I will help you navigate those challenging paths with a safe, warm, person centered, accepting and collaborative treatment approach.

Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.
Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.
What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
