Relationship & marital problems, sexual concerns & trauma can take a toll on your life. You're someone who's successful in your career, but when it comes to emotional or physical intimacy, you feel confused, defensive, or inhibited. You're feeling nervous, sad and fearful that you'll never be free of your issues. If "love is all you need" then why are relationships so difficult? I hear you! You're ready to make a change. You're ready to break old patterns and try something new. Most of all, you're ready to experience pleasure and deep, honest relationships with people who enhance your time on earth. I want to help you get there.

I work with clients dealing with loss and transition and those struggling with anxiety and depression. I help my clients learn to be more present in their lives. This reduces irritability, negativity, and the feeling of being overwhelmed or preoccupied. Together, we work to increase awareness of where they hold tension in their bodies and what triggers this tension. Often, we identify the emotions that are underneath the anxiety and they begin to heal by learning to accept and “sit with” these difficult feelings with compassion.

Therapy can be a transformative process that helps you reclaim your vitality and connection with yourself and others. Through my 18 years as a therapist I’ve come to understand the common issues that get in the way of peoples’ growth and success. I can help you identify what is getting in your way, understand what you learned early on that caused you to feel stuck in life now, and address those issues in a way that creates lasting change. I utilize treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and other dynamic strategies to help you live life with more vibrancy and joy.

I have over 37 years experience providing therapeutic services to clients of all ages and with a variety of mental disorders. I am passionate about engaging with clients to help them find their highest potential of health and wholeness. I use a client-centered approach, letting the client determine their own path, identifying strengths and roadblocks, searching for more adaptive coping strategies. I am eager to be your personal coach. I will join you on your journey of examining where you are today and how to reach your aspirations. Together we can examine relationships, professional as well as spiritual goals.

When I think about my ideal clients, I think about all the folks I used to serve as a sex educator. Having spent the past 10 years in sex education, I believe that many of us carry cultural stigma due to sex negative ideals perpetrated by our society. As a therapist I specialize in working with: Kinky clients, non-monogamous clients, clients that work within the sex industry, and clients that are figuring out their sexuality. My ideal clients are looking for a therapist that is affirming of their relationship with sexuality and who will not shame you for your sexual identity.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of positive change in therapy. My practice is rooted in collaborative co-creation, where I work with individuals, couples, and families who are eager to embark on a journey of personal growth, healing, and transformation. Together, we’ll shed patterns and coping strategies that no longer serve you and uncover fresh ways to nurture deeper connections with yourself and those around you. Within our sessions, you'll find a warm, calm, and nonjudgmental space to support your exploration.

Hello and welcome to the beginning of your healing journey!

It's important to me to individualize care to best fit your needs and address the goals that are most important to you. Having trouble knowing what your goals are? There is no such thing as a problem without a goal, so if you are facing problems in your life it's likely because there are feelings, and experiences you want in your life. The more in touch we become with our wants, needs and values, the more satisfaction we can get from our lives.

Are you an older teen or adult ages 17-65 years old? And have you been experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, gender identity exploration/issues, body image issues, or other issues and wish you could work collaboratively with someone who is compassionate and supportive to help you achieve your goals? Change and relief are possible and you don't have to do it alone. I also see couples, polycules, or other non-trad partnerships.

Do you feel isolated, anxious, or depressed? Do you have relationship challenges? If so, I can help quickly with proven treatments that get to the root cause and then resolve it. Painful memories and events from the past don't have to overwhelm you or limit your future. I work with individuals to heal from these difficult experiences. I can help you develop healthy boundaries and build trust in order to improve your relationships and really connect with others.

Feeling a little lost and ready to make a change? Maybe your relationship or career isn't going in the direction you had hoped? Perhaps you're not quite sure why you feel the way you do or even know where to begin? Many of my clients have pondered the same questions or found themselves in similar situations. Sometimes, a second set of eyes on a problem is all that is needed to restore hope and get back on track.
