I can help you cope and heal from sexual and relationship trauma. Trauma can fracture who you are as a person. It can make you feel unlike yourself, distant from others, and changed forever. This does not have to be permanent. Together, we can build resilience, access your strengths, and free you from your past. Learning to understand your trauma, manage symptoms, change patterns, and increase self-esteem can help you cultivate the life and meaningful relationships that you want. Most of my clients have experienced rape, sexual assault, childhood abuse, systemic oppression, and/or violence from a partner.

From an early age, I knew I wanted to be a therapist growing up with an emotionally immature mother who struggled with addiction. I learned to distinguish between her issues and my own, but despite this awareness, I couldn't escape internalizing her insecurities. In my early teens, I went to my first therapist for depression. I will always remember the jar of cheerios on his desk labeled “Bagel Seeds!” Therapy helped me navigate various situations such as coming out and the sudden loss of my father. I deeply believe in the power of therapy to change lives.

Perhaps the familiar ways of coping with challenges no longer bring the same relief. You may be feeling unsettled by how recent events are affecting your relationships or work. You want things to feel different, but you're unsure how to get there. I take that desire seriously.

My goal in therapy is to help you turn that hope into empowerment, so you can approach life's challenges—and rewards—with a renewed sense of confidence in your own abilities.

Life can bring unhappiness, distress, and uncertainty. It can also bring opportunities for satisfaction, connection with others, and meaning. Realizing that something in your life needs to change and seeking support to do so takes courage. Seeking the support of a well-trained, compassionate, and supportive therapist can be helpful—whether you need support during a stressful period, to address broader issues in forming and improving relationships, in adjusting to a loss or life transition—or simply because you know that you’re unhappy and are uncertain how to change.

I look forward to understanding how upbringing/generational patterns, trauma, and interpersonal patterns affect how you get stuck in a life that you're not happy with. I have been told that I have a good balance of light-heartedness, quirkiness, and seriousness. I want you to know that you can be open about your struggles without judgment while knowing that I can handle the intensity of problems and traumas that you have experienced. I will help you learn about how to use your strengths to challenge your understanding of how to surpass patterns that you are struggling with.
