I support individuals and relationships (monogamous or poly) who seek a deeper understanding of their sexuality, identity, and purpose. Folks often come to me while working through intimacy challenges, processing trauma, or exploring LGBTQIA+ concerns. Some are struggling with sexual functioning, desire discrepancies, anxiety, or questions about gender and orientation. Through sex therapy alongside existential and emotionally focused approaches, I help build authentic relationships and meaningful connections while healing from past wounds that impact present lives.

Our mental health is equally important as our physical well-being and I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental and open environment to foster introspection and personal growth. Due to our life circumstances, unique experiences, thought patterns and previous traumas, I deeply understand the need to reassess and improve our quality of life.

Are you struggling with stress related to work or relationships? Are decisions difficult, and transitions overwhelming? Life can be challenging for everyone at times. Both external and internal roadblocks can impact our actions, leading us to replay events over and over, imagine countless outcomes, compare our journey to others, and judge ourselves harshly. Small moments can spiral into bigger, often painful conclusions.

I provide Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) to enhance your: life satisfaction, sense of mastery, and connectedness with others—utilizing a warm, evidence-based, humane, collaborative approach. Therapy is not something I do TO you, but instead, a "journey" that we take together in partnership (and sometimes in laughter). We will go at your pace and focus on YOUR goals for you. I will attempt to build on your strengths and the coping skills you already possess, and to educate you about communication, problem-solving, and stress-management tools that are new to you. I have been in practice for 30 years.

Clients seeking deepened engagement and fulfillment in life can expect warmth and compassion within an approach that is goal-directed and process oriented. A client's decision to pursue therapy should be self-motivated and volitional to embark upon a path to wellness as they determine it to be. As a therapist, I am invested in supporting each client on their chosen path.

My ideal client is someone who’s always kept it together—the go-to person, the problem solver, the strong one. But beneath the surface, they’re carrying the weight of childhood wounds, relationship stress, or cultural expectations that have left them feeling disconnected, anxious, or emotionally drained. They’re not looking for quick fixes—they’re ready for deep healing. They want to feel more emotionally present, communicate better in their relationships, and finally put themselves first without guilt. They’re ready to break cycles, not just survive them.

You might be here because life feels heavier than you’d like. Maybe past wounds resurface without warning, relationships feel strained, or the world’s noise makes it hard to hear your own voice. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking to untangle patterns that feel automatic: like anxiety that won’t quiet, cultural expectations clashing with identity, or echoes of trauma that linger. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as we uncover hidden layers—your stories, fears, and strengths—and invite shifts toward the life you want to live.

Step into the realty that YOU are the Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging LIGHT shining through the flesh-and-blood prism known as the self. In other words, YOU are the Driver, and what YOU see in the mirror is the Vehicle. Like every good mechanic, I listen to both Driver and Vehicle. Remember: You are NOT anxious, depressed, or fearful, your vehicle is.

I am a psychoanalyst specializing in the (dis)connection to meaning and fulfillment in one's own life. Patients are often referred to my practice after previous efforts have felt unhelpful, limited or kept one "stuck" in and out of therapy. My focus is both on the material functioning within awareness, and dynamics operating underneath our wish-and fears-to change. This substance generates felt and unfelt strife within all individuals, regardless of symptoms, situation or diagnosis. That is to say, there is invaluable meaning and function to all thought, feelings and behaviors. Pain does not operate separately from our selves.

Feeling stuck can be isolating. However, substance use is an all too common experience; millions struggle every year. It is not a personal or moral failing, but rather a complex health issue that requires support and resources. Connecting with highly trained medical professionals specializing in problemed use targets your specific experience to create productive connection in sessions. Talking it through can spark growth, leading to lasting change so you can feel better. I also treat Anxiety, Depression and Big Life Changes. I welcome you, regardless of where you’re starting.
