Often in our lives we may encounter experiences which our current adaptive skills no longer serve us. Acceptance, compassion, and honesty with yourself can be challenging. Reaching out for support is often hard. It is during these times of discomfort that being met where you are, with what you have may be an opportunity to change the current course of your life.

When things are difficult, it can isolate us, drain our emotional reserves, and limit our ability to look at things in new ways. I work to help clients appreciate the depth of their experience, and support them toward personal strength and healthier relationships. My style is open, collaborative, direct, and supportive. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years in private practice. I also served as adjunct faculty at the University of Rochester's Counseling Center for many years.

Our lives are shaped, and continue to be shaped by experiences and moments that we’ve endured across countless environments and situations. Due to our ever-changing lives and stressors, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate our emotions and feelings on our own. In therapy, focus is on allowing individuals to explore, process and express themselves in a safe and non-judgmental space.

As a clinical psychologist specializing in relationship difficulties, I have worked with many individuals who struggle with conflict in their intimate relationships, experience fears about closeness or intimacy, feel anxiety about relating to others, and those who have trouble feeling generally satisfied in their relationships. I believe that dissatisfying relationships contribute to emotional stress and pain, and that promoting stronger, healthier relationships can lead to people experiencing happier and more productive lives. I work with individuals to explore these struggles and develop understanding or insight about their patterns in relationships, with the ultimate goal of helping people have a different experience in their current relationships.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and struggling to find a sense of peace? You’re not alone—and I’m here to help.

I believe everyone should be able to find therapy that offers you a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your full self with openness and compassion. I work with clients facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, identity development, and relationship issues. With specialized experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds—including the LGBTQ+, non-monogamous, sex-positive, and BDSM/kink communities—I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges these groups may face. I also offer compassionate support for those navigating problematic sexual behaviors, as well as associated shame and guilt.

Why is it so gosh darn difficult to "figure out" sex sometimes? I get it. It can be uncomfortable to talk about sex and the internet is full of non-specific, misinformed advice. That's where I can help. My practice is focused on individuals and couples who are trying to navigate specific challenges regarding sex and sexuality, as well as subsequent relationship concerns. This includes sexual dysfunction, anxiety and shame around sex, intimacy after life transition or trauma, sex and intimacy in dating, fear about sharing kinks and fetishes, and so much more. I am proud to provide LGBTQIA+, kink, and non-monogamy affirming services.

Emotions can really suck. Due to our individual histories, we develop means to reduce intense emotional experiences that have been inexplicitly linked to anxiety. This can lead to behaviors and means of relating that lead to perpetual anxiety and destructive relationships with ourselves and others. In therapy, we can work together to recognize unconscious patterns and resolve unconscious emotional conflicts; the goal is an increase in happiness and quality of life.

You are the expert of your own experience and know best what supports you and what may no longer be serving you. In our work together, I will seek to highlight and validate how the social environment and systems have impacted your relationship with yourself and others, and to use the therapy space as an opportunity to dismantle hierarchies. To do this, I use an integrated, person-centered psychodynamic approach grounded in compassion.
