I draw mainly from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness, Psychodynamic therapies, Narrative Therapy, and Sex Therapy.
We all need a little structure and support as we navigate life’s challenges. I work primarily with adult individuals and couples. Is anxiety shrinking your life? Have you gotten lost in your mind and confused about the messages your own body's trying to send you? Are you and your partner stuck in loops, trying to reconnect but feeling like sometimes you're not even speaking the same language anymore?

I'm trained in Bringing Baby Home, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, and approaches informed by substance use, shame, and sex therapy.
I support individuals, couples, and families untangle the lasting effects of relational trauma, family substance use, and attachment wounds. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that repeat across generations—conflict, emotional disconnection, difficulty trusting others, or the urge to caretake at the expense of their own needs.
Together, we explore how early experiences shaped these patterns and begin building new ways of relating that feel safe, authentic, and connected. Whether you're healing from the past or working to strengthen current relationships, I’m here to support your journey.

"Fear lives in the head. And courage lives in the heart. The job is to get from one to the other" - Louis Penny. It is inevitable that we will be wounded during the journey of life. Many of those wounds generally heal on their own. However some wounds cut deeper. They are unable to heal themselves and leave scars causing broken relationships, anxiety, addiction, insecurity, fear, and pain. Facing these wounds can be frightening and overwhelming, especially when facing them alone. Together we find the courage and strength to face and heal these wounds.

As trauma and sex therapist, CEO, coach, author, podcaster, and intuitive healer, I've navigated "success
You're the leader who looks perfect on paper—successful, innovative, impactful—but inside, you're drowning. Constantly wearing a mask is exhausting you. As someone who doesn't fit neatly into society's boxes—whether you're LGBTQIA+, ethically non-monogamous, or spiritually awakened—you've learned to hide parts of yourself to succeed. The anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism that once protected you now keep you disconnected from your authentic power. You know you're meant for more than this exhausting performance, but your fear feels paralyzing. But, you're ready to lead from a place of wholeness! You're done with burnout.

I believe in the importance of meeting someone where they are and I aim to empower clients by teaching skills that help them to manage obstacles that interfere with quality of life and wellbeing.

I often work with clients who experience anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, sex and intimacy issues, and depression.
Sometimes, the process of "processing" in talk therapy feels challenging. We don't always have the words to describe our experience, or we feel more stuck the longer we talk about the issue. In my work as a mindfulness-based therapist, my intention is to blend traditional talk therapy processing with mindful awareness of your body to help you stay in the feeling rather than avoid it or intellectualize it. This allows folks to build distress tolerance, empathy for themselves and others, and feel more self-actualized.

The decision to come to therapy typically arises when we reach a point where we say "I can't do this alone." The "this" could be anything; maybe you are experiencing significant stressors at work or in your relationship; perhaps you've had years of trying to manage symptoms of trauma, depression or anxiety alone, and you're tired; it could be that your relationship or family has gone through a major change, and you are struggling to adjust. Whatever the issue is, I am happy that you have acknowledged that support is needed, and in that acknowledgment you are on your way to progress already.

I generally enjoy working with clients working through self-esteem issues, anxiety, and depression. Typically they are looking for ways to reframe negative thoughts, identify triggers and cognitive distortions, and find a path to the best version of themselves. Many of these clients have struggled with these issues long enough to have experienced negative consequences and reduced life chances. We work to rewrite their inner script and learn to make choices that enhance their life.

It is my personal belief that everyone deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to unravel their thoughts and be present in the moment. With all of the aspects of day-to-day life that keep us occupied, I hope that I can help you take a moment (or several moments) for yourself (and/or your partner) that you very much deserve. My goal is to listen to my client's personal experiences and use that to shape the person you want to be- or the person you already are, just the most authentic version of yourself. Everyone's experience that brings a client to therapy is unique and our goals together will always be unique to your growth.
