As a mindfulness and somatic-based therapist, I offer powerful tools of transformation for people to open to, heal with, and befriend all parts of themselves. My therapeutic approach centers on creating the space for each individual to discover ways to utilize their innate untapped wisdom as an ally in their healing. I believe mindfulness and somatic-based interventions are accessible to anyone to help investigate and transform core beliefs and re-evaluate thought patterns. I aim to facilitate an experiential, relational, somatic, and person-centered experience for my clients integrating Somatic Experiencing® techniques, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, and meditation.

Have you started to realize that you're not coping as well as you would like with the stress of daily life? That a pattern is emerging with how you manage your personal choices or relationships. Or that your child's emotions and behaviors have been particularly intense and difficult to manage lately. Perhaps your life has shifted and you are experiencing a change that you are struggling with adjusting to? While a variety of situations bring the clients I work with to therapy, we will work together so that you can make specific changes to experience each day with a more self-aware and functional presence.

My concept of therapy is thinking together with someone about their experiences and their relationships in a compassionate and respectful environment. You can expect our work together to uncover what’s missing in the ways you know and understand yourself. Witnessing is powerful. I believe in the therapeutic relationship’s capacity to engage with the unknown. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy has a way of integrating the unconscious with past and present life experiences. Talk therapy promotes a deeper understanding of how to relate and how to be in the world. “The words are purposes. The words are maps.” -Adrienne Rich

Sexual problems are difficult to talk about for most people and can cause great distress. Sex therapy is designed to put people at ease so that they can feel as comfortable as possible talking about these problems and to find practical solutions. Some of the typical problems I work with include specific sexual dysfunctions (e.g., premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, difficulties with orgasm) and more general problems such as lack of sexual desire, sexual orientation and gender issues, unusual sexual behaviors, shyness and social inhibition.

I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment. I support clients through a variety of challenges, such as exploring identity, navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, processing trauma, and coping with stress. As a queer, gender non-binary therapist, I am particularly passionate about providing sexuality- and gender-affirming therapy to queer and trans clients of all ages. I prioritize queer joy and gender euphoria in the therapeutic space, and strive to create a safe haven for clients to explore their identities.

If you have been feeling alone or stuck or in pain, I’m so glad you’re here. If you are ready to explore the cornerstones of existence (love/family/work/sex/spirituality) with the goal of working on healthier relationships both to oneself and with others, you are in the right place. I utilize evidence-based techniques, particularly somatic and mindfulness-based interventions, on a foundation of attachment-oriented psychodynamic theory to curate a therapeutic experience worthy of your unique story. My focus is on romantic relationships, trauma and loss, family conflict, social anxiety, body image, depression, and career stress.

For many it is not easy to find the courage to begin therapy. Everyone has stress in their lives and could benefit from focusing on themselves. It is important to realize you have the power to change the way you react and how the stress influences your thoughts and feelings. Counseling can help you figure out how to best handle and understand your situation.

I partner with each client to make sense of how you've navigated the world thus far. Then we'll work together to new ways of coping that go beyond surviving in an unjust world but toward thriving powerfully in your life and relationships.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
