I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of meaningful change in therapy. My practice is rooted in collaboration and co-creation, where I work with individuals and couples to release patterns that no longer serve them and discover new ways to nurture more fulfilling relationships to themselves and others. I enjoy supporting individuals navigating life transitions and identity exploration, men in cultivating self-compassion and emotional connectedness, and couples seeking to strengthen communication inside and outside the bedroom through sex therapy and emotionally focused therapy.
My therapeutic approach integrates a systemic, nonpathologizing lens, exploring the intricate ways our lives are shaped by various systems—from our families of origin to factors like race and ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, ability, and faith and spirituality. My trauma-informed approach integrates multiple therapeutic strategies to support you.
My practice is inclusive and affirming of all gender identities, neurotypes, abilities, sexual and erotic orientations, and relationship structures. Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for each other. When contacting me, please include your insurance provider (if using insurance).
