As a psychotherapist I commit myself to supporting individuals and couples in their relationship, healthy intimacy, mind/body connection, depression, anxiety, and managing life with balance.

You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Many of the people I work with come in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, emotionally disconnected, or simply tired of carrying things alone. Some are processing trauma, exploring identity, navigating relationships, or adjusting to major life changes.

I support consensual non-monogamy, kink communities and am sex positive.

I believe in humanity and valuing people, no matter their race, sexual orientation, religious/spiritual beliefs, gender-identity, socio-economic status, or anything else you deem important to you.

It is a big step in reaching out for support. I am so glad you did. Some of us struggle to live day to day and have even stopped dreaming. Why is dreaming left to others or childhood? If you are searching for more peace or to heal an invisible scar, you do not need to suffer or problem solve alone. I am a licensed clinical social worker whose passion for the past 30 years has been creating a safe space for the human experience that we all share. It has been my understanding that you may already have what you need and I have the privilege to be alongside you on that journey. Risks are scary but this may be a good one to take.

You’re feeling stuck, maybe in the same fight with your partner, the loneliness of dating, or the grief of a breakup. You crave deeper connection but often find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, or shutting down.

I specialize in couples therapy and relationship-focused individual therapy. My clients are ready to go beyond understanding why they feel stuck and begin creating lasting change in how they show up with themselves and the people they care about most.

At my core, I am curious about relationships: how they have shaped us, how we feel in them, how we can grow and change and feel better in them even after years of struggle. As adults, we often reach a point where we realize that the strategies we used to make it safely through earlier parts of our lives have run their course, leaving us feeling stuck or disconnected or just unhappy. Whether you arrive on your own or in a relationship of any type, I work to build an accepting and invigorating space for you to explore and experience ways of being that are in greater alignment with your core sense of self.

I'm a Gestalt & Certified Gottman Therapist with 20-yrs of experience helping others heal, grow and relate.

Together, we gain insight on issues related to boundaries, honesty, resentment, culture, sexuality, depression, ADHD, anxiety, etc. I provide a nonjudgmental space for open communication so we can focus on deeper unmet needs. It's each individual's choice to lean into difficulty to create meaning and intimacy, and I want to help you do this in healthy ways.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.
How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
