Are you looking for a therapist who understands boundaries can be terrifying yet necessary to set & enforce? A therapist who understands change can be horrifying & conflict can be debilitating? A therapist who can be frank with you when needs be? Or maybe a therapist who can find a tv show, movie or sound to better convey pretty much any life occurrence? On a serious note, therapy can be hard but necessary maintenance of the mind, and though it shouldn’t be taken lightly it doesn’t have to be daunting either.

I enjoy creating safe spaces for working professionals, athletes, performers, artists, queer, straight, interracial, sex+, monog & ENM couples & individuals struggling w/ physical/emotional affairs, lack of intimacy, boundaries, identity exploration or affirmation, communication, connection, co-parenting or maybe things have just become too routine.

Throughout our sessions, we'll work alongside each other to reclaim YOUR space, time, confidence, and JOY! Taking an active role in your mental health often means the difference between minor tasks/decisions festering & feeling insurmountable (self-sabotage) & bite-size chunks of a manageable responsibility. The choice is yours, & I’m here when you’re ready!

My therapeutic style is collaborative & eclectic meaning we, together, find a combination of modalities that work WITH you not the other way around.Some of my most utilized modalities involve being client-centered, non-judgmental, accepting/affirming, & sometimes your personal cheerleader to silence the inner critic. Throughout sessions, my goal is to encourage radical & unapologetic authenticity.
