I believe that the therapeutic journey is one that begins with stepping out of one's comfort zone and welcoming change.

Relationships can be challenging, but you don't have to muscle through by yourself. I specialize in clients who have a hard time forming close relationships or feel lost and depleted in existing ones. If you feel difficulty in coming close, expressing your needs and having them met, and/or setting healthy boundaries, I can help you by offering tools and a path of clarity. Many of my clients struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, imposter syndroms, and/or fears of abandonment that impact their ability to form healthy connections. I have significant experience with non-conventional relationships such as LGBTQ+, ENM, and Poly.

Have you ever thought there was a more authentic version of yourself? Maybe you’ve glimpsed this version in the eyes of someone who loves you—like a grandparent, teacher, or friend. They see only the best in you and you feel strong, confident, and content around them. Spoiler alert: this can be you all the time! Due to trauma, stress, or unhelpful conditioning, many of us develop maladaptive coping strategies and negative thought patterns, which keeps us from living authentically.

Profound change often can be accomplished by simple shifts in understanding. In my 30 years of private practice with individuals, couples and groups I have helped people develop better relationships and more satisfying lives.

Through life’s journeys, we often find ourselves recreating patterns to cope with the overwhelming curve balls thrown our way.

Do you feel out of place in the world or even in your own body? Do you struggle to find satisfaction in your romantic or sexual life?

The psychotherapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool we have for lasting change.
