I'll walk beside you along this new path if you're ready to take the first step. I help professional women who can be described as responsible and stoic. Individuals who take care of others but have a hard time seeking care for themselves. Folks who can be their own worst critic, who feel unseen and often sacrifice their comfort to keep things running smoothly. When things have been this way forever it can be hard to imagine a life with enough space to make yourself a priority. If this sounds like you, we can team up to bring ease and well-being into your life. Start a new journey: reach out.

Are you an artist, entertainer, or creative professional struggling with your mental health? I specialize in working with artists, entertainers, and creatives who have anxiety and depression, helping them reach their personal and professional goals. Being consistently vulnerable in your work, while staying tough enough to withstand rejection, can take a toll on you emotionally. Your mental state can also make it difficult to withstand these career ups and downs. You don't have to be miserable to be an artist though! As a former performer myself, I understand first hand how difficult this mental health/work life balance can be.

I work with a diverse range of clients - both those who already embrace therapy and those who may be initially skeptical. People choose to work with me because they recognize they need a fresh approach, as their current strategies haven't been fully effective in addressing their emotional challenges and relationship needs.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma informed, sex therapist, who works with both individuals and couples. My approach to the work is relational and interpersonal. Therapy is a place where you can be your truest self, without judgement. It is also a place to explore difficult and sometimes painful topics.
