I’m interested in working with clients who are in search of deep emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. You can expect our sessions together to consider your past, and to process the impact of those experiences on your present day life. Almost everyone is impacted by distressing or traumatic events that inevitably occur throughout a lifetime, so those experiences will be explored and processed, as well. Our work together will be a blended effort of focusing on what is important to you, and my curiosity and guidance throughout your process.

The foundation of a therapeutic relationship depends on empathy and connection. I work to establish a supportive, non-judgemental space for individuals to focus on growth and healing. My practice emphasizes collaboration, recognizing the client as the expert of their own experience. Although I’ve worked with a variety of people, I enjoy working with women navigating changes across the lifespan, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those experiencing concerns surrounding anxiety and depression, trauma, stress, and grief and loss. I support clients in building on their current strengths and means of coping.

It’s unsettling to be in the world as it is, especially for queer folks. It’s time to rise up, face our fears, and heal and nurture ourselves. I work exclusively with those in this beautiful, sparkly, rainbow-hued community to help with transitions and troubles, navigate life's journey, and thrive. I give feedback and use my life experiences to connect, to view situations in new ways, clarify ideas, and invite them to try new things.

I offer virtual therapy for individuals or couples seeking to address concerns related to sexual health, anxiety, and/or relationships. Sex therapy is a form of talk-therapy that addresses concerns related to sexuality, compulsive sexual behaviors, sexual difficulties (related to desire, arousal, orgasm, pain), and/or intimacy. Couples therapy is ideal for couples looking to improve their communication or ability to navigate conflict, as well as increase their emotional, erotic, and/or intimate connection. My approach in sessions is comfortable and relaxed to facilitate authentic interaction with clients.

What could a sense of liberation & healthy connection look like for you in your day-to-day life? You’ve gotten to this point of your existence, and have collected a variety of experiences and patterns that have shaped the complexity of who you are and the ways you interact with others. Still, more changes/transitions are inevitable. They may leave you feeling confused, disconnected, frustrated, lost, misdirected, or completely misaligned with the life you have envisioned for yourself. That's okay!

***I currently have daytime openings. No evenings or weekends. All appointments are virtual.*** At times, life can present us with obstacles that are difficult to navigate and though we know we need to make changes we don’t always know how to begin. We all need support and an empathetic ear and with that we are all capable of adapting. I have worked with children, families and adults for more than 20 years as they have adjusted to life’s circumstances. Over that time I have seen the impact that talking, listening and empathy can have in our lives.

I am experienced in depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational conflict, family systems, addiction, criminal justice, anger management, eating disorders/body image, and mood disorders.

In addition, the ideal client will be willing to tackle goals inside & outside therapy sessions. My ideal client would be an individual who is internally and externally motivated to change their life. They show up to sessions on time consistently and make a conscious effort to engage in the therapeutic process.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing care from a relational perspective. Working from a relational analytic/interpersonal approach implies many different things, but perhaps the most central is that the nature of the treatment I provide will always depend on your needs, and typically only become apparent after a nonjudgmental and deeply collaborative exploration of your experience. Put simply, I assume that successful treatment requires me coming to understand your experience and value commitments in a deeply nuanced fashion, as opposed to applying generic treatment strategies.
