I believe everyone should be able to find therapy that offers you a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your full self with openness and compassion. I work with clients facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, identity development, and relationship issues. With specialized experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds—including the LGBTQ+, non-monogamous, sex-positive, and BDSM/kink communities—I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges these groups may face. I also offer compassionate support for those navigating problematic sexual behaviors, as well as associated shame and guilt.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process, where it is my goal to provide you with the support and tools to navigate life's greatest challenges. I have an eclectic therapy style, but primarily utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic theory to support our work.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but I am here to ensure that you receive the best possible support, whether it be with me or someone else. I invite you to reach out to schedule an initial consultation call, where we can explore how I might best assist you on your journey of healing, growth, and change. You’ve already taken the first step.
