Anxiety can cause you to feel uptight, impact your ability to focus, and it can make the simplest tasks feel completely overwhelming. I imagine you've caught yourself thinking "If I could just get organized..." or, "If I could just get started...". Maybe you're a baseball player and can't get out of your hitting slump. Maybe your daily performance is hindered and you cannot seem to dig out of the rut. You may feel embarrassed that you're on this page seeking help for "something I should be able to handle on my own." These feelings of fear, uncertainty, anger, and utter lack of control and direction can be crippling.

We live in a society where fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and depression are all too common and on the rise. For one reason or another it can feel like the world is crashing down around us with no way out. When it feels unmanageable, therapy can help you find the light at the end of the tunnel. Even if we can’t change our situation, we can put ourselves in a safe space to feel heard, understood, and figure out ways to feel better. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, suicidal ideation, religious trauma, and life stress. I also work with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community including transgender & non-binary clients.

I specialize in OCD and sex therapy, and where the two overlap. I work with obsessive themes of all kinds— from germs to relationships and existential concerns. But if you’re anxious about the types of thoughts you’d prefer to never tell another living soul— like hurting people, pedophilia, sexual orientation, incest…that sort of thing— I’m definitely the right therapist. That stuff is my speciality. You’ll be surprised how easy it will be to talk to me about it.

Getting through this thing called life can be difficult. In our hurried, stressful world, it's easy to become overwhelmed and even lose sight of what's important to us.

I specialize in working with couples struggling with resentment, communication breakdowns, conflict, intimacy challenges, and disconnection.

Helping people begin to show up in their own lives, sometimes after years of disconnection, is one of my greatest passions and privileges. That passion has led me to the study of trauma and addiction because of the role each play in disconnecting us from ourselves and those around us. Trauma can include everything from life-threatening events to the sometimes more subtle experiences of woundedness that can occur through ordinary family and social interactions across a lifetime. Gerald May says that addiction can be anything that “bonds and enslaves the energy of desire to certain specific behaviors, things, or people".

Chronic overthinking, people-pleasing, and the weight of the mental load are more than just "stress," they are signs of a nervous system stuck in survival mode. It is exhausting to live in a body that won't slow down. Together, we’ll work to regulate your internal response, quiet the noise, and create a life defined by ease rather than pressure.
Note: despite my title, I am not currently working with couples or families.

Immediate openings! Are you trying to find a therapist who understands? When dealing with shame, anxiety, trauma, or simply existing as a person, navigating the world can feel complicated. Mental health issues are frustrating and can sometimes feel insurmountable. The feelings of having a good life — feelings of satisfaction, confidence, and fulfillment — are hard to find. The therapeutic relationship is arguably one of the most important factors that determine success in therapy. For that reason, I strive to create a space where there is mutual respect, trust, and authenticity.

My practice focuses on assisting college students and emerging adults in navigating their complex world and the issues that are common for them including anxiety, depression, body image issues, and self-harm. I often hear "I feel like I don't know what I'm doing" and therapy can be a place where this feeling is both normalized (who does know what they're doing?!) and to gain more perspective on how to cope with challenges while finding their place in this world.

Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a therapist specializing in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
A client seeking help with an open or consensually non-monogamous relationship will prefer to talk with a professional whom they can count on to be nonjudgmental. Talking with a supportive therapist may on its own help relieve some of the stigma and challenges partners face. That said, the most important factor in the success of any type of therapy is the ability of the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond. For this reason, an individual or couple could find success with a therapist who does not specialize in non-monogamous relationships but with whom they can build trust.
When should open or consensually non-monogamous partners seek counseling?
Like other couples, polyamorous partners typically seek counseling when they face relationship challenges they can’t solve themselves. In non-monogamous relationships, this could include breaches of trust, including infidelity; unclear rules or violations of boundaries; jealousy of outside partners; the stress of juggling the needs of multiple partners; or the effect of high partner turnover on children. Like those of other couples, polyamorous bonds can be threatened by increasingly frequent arguments, poor or dysfunctional communication, diminished emotional or physical intimacy, or the feeling that something is wrong, even if they don’t know what it is.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
No, but individuals seeking help with non-monogamous relationships would most likely consult a licensed professional with specific training in couples counseling or couples therapy. Couples counseling and couples therapy both involve teaching concrete strategies to navigate conflict in relationships. A good therapist can engage both partners as they explain these approaches but can also work with a single partner.
How long does therapy for consensually non-monogamous couples typically last?
Couples therapy for any type of couple, tends to be relatively time-limited, lasting around 12 weeks on average. A good therapist will tailor sessions to the individual partners’ emotions and sometimes their past, along with patterns found to be repeating in the relationship. In many cases, clients should expect their therapist to assign “homework” between weekly sessions.
