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 feel debilitating? A therapist who can be frank with you when needs be? Or maybe a therapist who can find a tv show, movie 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 & affirmation, communication, connection, co-parenting or maybe things have become too routine & you need help

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