My therapeutic process is equal parts real talk & strategic support. I won’t tell you who to be or what to do - but I will show up and lean in to our conversations, kindly challenge your blocking beliefs & support you in making tough but empowered life choices. I specialize in working with creatives, entrepreneurs/executives, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients (identities I proudly share!) in navigating life transitions, identity intersections & intimacy challenges. Couples work is also one of my passions. Whatever crossroads you’re at, I’m honored to join you on this journey.
As a clinical psych professor for over a decade, my approach is evidenced-based, depth-oriented & trauma-informed (EMDR). I am not afraid to talk about the hard stuff – sex, finances, heartbreak, addiction, family & relationship trauma. I can’t help but bring a collaborative understanding to the work because I’ve evolved & processed through a lot myself!
Together, we’ll make meaning of your past & process the feelings that keep you suck in freeze mode. Most importantly, we’ll build a toolbox of coping skills & positive habits that lead to preferred, permanent change. Let's get you the life that you deserve! My work is my passion & I'd be honored to speak with you. Whatever's going on, we've got this!
