Maybe you’re stuck in your head, second-guessing everything—your identity, your relationships, your desires, or what it even means to feel like yourself.
I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples/polycules who are tired of shrinking themselves. I focus on identity, sexuality, desire, anxiety, and the impact of cultural or relational conditioning. A lot of this work is about connection, with yourself and with others, and finding ways to show up more fully, without having to disappear in the process.

I specialize in supporting women through self-esteem struggles, life transitions, relationships, body dysmorphia, depression, and anxiety.
Let me tell you, there’s this saying many of our parents or grandparents used to say: 'Just look toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything will be alright.' But let’s be real—what happens when that tunnel feels endless? When the road twists, and we can’t even see the end? Or when the darkness is so heavy that we’re just focused on not stumbling, let alone looking for some distant light? If that’s how you’re feeling right now, I see you. Life can get overwhelming—depression, stress, hopelessness, feeling like you’re stuck with no way out. But what if I told you that the light at the end isn’t the only light that matters?

My ideal client would be a teen or young adult trying to navigate life. They may bring to our sessions their need for acceptance and belonging, needing positive peer interactions, anxieties, and career exploration. We would develop goals together and establish what they want to get out of their therapy sessions. They come with a "want to change" attitude and are willing to put in the work. The goal is for my client to get a better understand of themselves and what is in their control and work on a better them.

Do you find yourself feeling exasperated in dating or relationships, repeating the same patterns, or struggling to overcome something from your past?
In my work with teens, adults, and couples, I believe that examining the patterns of your life can help you understand how you have arrived in your present circumstances. Your possibilities open up for thinking more clearly, feeling better, relating to others in healthier ways, and finding more satisfaction in life.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
