Please note: I will be taking a planned maternity leave beginning in May 2026. I am happy to discuss scheduling, treatment goals, and continuity of care during an initial consultation.
If you’re a human being on this planet, odds are you’ve been through things that have left a lasting negative impact on your mental health. You've also likely experienced feelings of shame when it comes to your sexuality that you never asked for. While you may have been told that you’re broken, that your sexuality is something to be ashamed of, or you’re just "bad" at relationships; my goal is to help you in working through these challenges.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (cbtmindful.com). I see therapy as a space of honest exploration of who you are, what is most important to you, and what is holding you back from living a more fulfilling life. My role is to listen carefully and compassionately so that, together, we can identify patterns, especially ones that aren’t leading you to the life you want. Then, I use a creative and collaborative approach to help you make changes in how you relate to yourself, how you show up in your relationships, and how you make decisions, big and small.

I also specialize in couples counseling, polyamorous relationships, and identity, intimacy, sex, kink, & fetishes.
I believe the most important question we can ask ourselves is, "What do I want?" I believe that everyone has an ability to move towards growth, healing, and fulfillment. I approach therapy from a perspective learning and believe that the more we learn about ourselves, the better able we are to make choices about how we want to move forward in life. I use an integrative framework to address each client’s individual needs. I work from a trauma informed lens and use interventions from existential, Attachment Theory, Gottman, and ACT.
