I work with adults with illness, disability, or going through life transitions to develop strategies to address relationships, intimacy, connection, sexual wellness, pelvic health, sexuality and gender expression. I'm passionate about the area of sexuality and intimacy as it intersects with illness and disability. Sex is an activity of daily living and I believe that sex, sexuality, gender expression, and creating intimate and loving connections are meaningful occupations. I'm trained in the biopsychosocial model and I analyze the larger picture of physical, mental, cognitive, sensory, social, and environmental contexts.

I guide couples to transform harmful patterns to loving gestures, learn to speak the truth, develop healthy patterns of relating, improve sex, adjust to new parenthood, and breathe life into their joint vision of life together.
I help women and couples heal and thrive. Periods of relationship challenges, grief and loss, identity transitions, and emotional stress can lead us to feel lost and alone. These times come for us all and can be an invitation to tend unhealed wounds, uncover intuition, strengthen relationships, and make brave and compassionate choices toward a life you love. I help women to transform inter-generational trauma into wholeness and vitality, stay grounded through fertility challenges and new motherhood, and establish healthy boundaries and nourishing relationships.

Some of my specialties include relationship issues, trauma, eating disorders, sex and sexuality, grief, women's issues, anxiety, suicidality, and self harm.
Here you are, browsing for therapists, making a choice not only to find a therapist that is the right fit for you but also making the choice to prioritize something that maybe you have neglected. I am here to hold that space for you to bring as much of your humanness as you are willing to bring into the room with me, no matter how dark it gets, and to be a witness without judgment or expectations so that you can heal wounds. All of my approaches in therapy are inspired by attachment theory, trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems theory (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and narrative therapies.

I work with couples, individuals and teens ages 13 and up who are facing challenges like: job stress, creative blocks, relationship struggles, self esteem, depression, anger, anxiety, gender identity, spirituality, sexuality, major life transitions, and grief and loss.
I think counseling is always useful, even when there's nothing "wrong." We get a lot of chances to go, go, go but not a lot to slow down and reflect. Usually it takes some crisis of feeling or relationship to tell us it's time. I see those crises as opportunities, doorways to deeper understanding. And because we're not fixed individuals, they come and go as we change and grow.

There are so many reasons why people seek therapy. It could be a life transition, anxiety, depression, divorce, blended families or tough teenagers. Sometimes in life people lose a sense of who they truly are and seek to find what more accurately reflects them. Overall, most people are looking for a space to process and make meaning of life experiences, behaviors and reactivity. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, good for you for having the courage to take the first step. My goal is to make the process of finding a therapist authentic and comfortable because I value the meaningful relationship between therapist and client.

My passion is helping individuals move through challenges and toward living life as their most authentic self through exploring and utilizing the personal energy and wisdom they already possess. This may include navigating significant transitions while maintaining a sense of self, finding strength and meaning in dark times, or facilitating present moment awareness and joy. Each of us has unique, complex stories which, at times, can create internal conflict, blocking us from moving forward. I work with you to accept and integrate conflictual parts of your experience and self so that you can move forward with increased self-awareness, self-appreciation and openness to experience.

I believe that my clients hold within themselves the key to healing and change, and it’s a privilege to collaborate with each of them in this process. It is important to me that each client feels seen and affirmed in the therapeutic relationship. It is also important that clients come to therapy ready to do the work required to bring about their own healing. I work with clients in the LGBTQIA2S+ community experiencing PTSD and trauma symptoms, religion and cult recovery, anxiety, OCD, phobias, shame, relationship challenges, and more. I also offer letter writing sessions for gender affirming procedures.
