I trust that whatever appears in the mind, body, and emotions has its purpose and wants to be deeply heard, honored, understood, and embraced; that all the Psyche expresses are attempts toward our wholeness and realizing the jewel of our essential Being. With this compassion and care, healing can unfold, patterns and beliefs transformed, and we can live our true potential and purpose, innate wisdom, and experience happiness, peace, and joy.

In my work with couples, I start from the reality that relationships are hard. Whether you are baffled by your single-hood, or in the throws of trying to make it work, relationships can feel impossible and essential at the same time. In spite of the challenge, I know we all have the capacity for connected, secure relationships. I especially love working with folks who have never been in relationship, or who have a difficult time moving from dating into commitment. My relational work is also a good fit for sexual issues like low libido, sexual avoidance, erectile dysfunction, high conflict counples, and painful sex.

I have extensive experience working with adults struggling with substance abuse issues, depression, anxiety, past trauma, relationship issues, and with those who are just feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward in their lives. I have developed an unshakable sense of hope in people over my years in practice, after bearing witness to my patients, and my own own ability to heal and grow, time and time again. In my experience, people make sense. If you want to grow, and you do the work, it is inevitable that you can come into more alignment with the person you most want to be.

I’m here for you and your experience! I welcome your whole self, including the parts that hurt most, have been marginalized by dominant society, and are navigating change. You may be experiencing grief and loss around the death of a loved one, a memory loss diagnosis, the redefining of a role, grief over the climate, or a harm done to a family member. You may find yourself transitioning into caregiving, stepping away from work, or parenting - including grandparents who are returning to raise children. All of this may be resulting in exacerbated stress, depression, anxiety. I'm looking forward to supporting you.

We all have the tendency to internalize painful life events. This can lead us to have feelings of anxiety, guilt, frustration, or shame. These painful feelings often cloud our view of our life, our relationships, and our future-greatly limiting our natural resilience and ability to handle life's stresses.

As a queer therapist, I know that it's a difficult time right now. I'm committed to supporting my clients through this hardship and meet them where they are amidst challenges that are out of their control. I know it's scary right now and you don't have to hold that fear alone.
I work with clients to develop greater insight into how they process the world around them, gain mastery in emotional regulation, and create stronger relationships. We will explore how your family impacted how you exist in the world and what might not be working for you anymore. Who you are shapes a lot of your experience and we will explore your identity.
