Hi there, I'm Lucy! Are you queer, neurodivergent, kinky, or poly and tired of having your therapist not get you? I want to welcome you as you are. I have helped countless clients reclaim their sexual connection & feel more secure. Secure attachment is the foundation needed to experience passion with a foundation of safety. I work with all relationship constellations. My goal is to help you step more fully into a strong foundation both in your relationship and various intersecting identities. Another specialization of mine is gender and love working with people as they step into affirmation both in relationship and in their lives.

Seeking help for the first time can be a scary and overwhelming experience. It takes courage to be willing to reach out and open up to someone new.

I have a passion for working with clients who come from complex family systems and are ready to break away and heal from harmful generational patterns. Clients come to me when they are struggling to reconnect with the authentic version of themselves and/or want to heal from relational wounds and deepen their connection with others. It can be hard to exist authentically in the world due to trauma, societal expectations, and systemic concerns, but becoming the best version of yourself is possible.

During our work together you will learn to tune into yourself, practice grounding and mindfulness, and ultimately leave each session feeling better than how you showed up.

Are you a stressed-out grad student or dealing with a major life overhaul? Maybe brand new at the job, uprooted by a move across country or bombarded by the pressures of life on campus?

Learning to manage these changes intentionally and effectively will pave the way for what comes next.

My passion in psychotherapy is working with adults who struggle with behavioral and mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety ADHD and a variety of personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictions. My therapeutic approach is drawn from mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and a humanistic approach. I also offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Ritual/Response Prevention (EXRP) as well as EMDR and Prolong Exposure (PE) sessions for trauma treatment. I am a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology.

Creating a safe environment is where I begin. I see therapy as a collaborative process that can lead you toward a greater capacity for self-awareness, trust, clarity, a sense of meaning and freedom. Life gives us surprising obstacles, which can make us feel stuck, depressed, alone or scared. With therapeutic presence, creativity and guidance, we can change our relationship to obstacles and transform. Our darkest point may mark the moment we realize we want to change. I use yoga and creative writing in my practice, and have training in mindfulness/somatic approaches, gestalt therapy, family systems, DBT, & depth psychology.

Welcome. You are taking the first step to make you and your life a priority. I know seeking help can be difficult, especially if you have always had to “figure it out on your own” or had to be the “strong one” or you’ve always “been the helper.” I consider it a privilege to walk beside you. I offer an environment where you will feel heard, understood and supported as you journey toward challenging yourself. You will discover more about who YOU are, what YOU want in life, and find peace and balance, maybe for the first time.

What if I can't handle Polyamory or Non-Monogamy? Am I Queer enough? Where do I even begin to explore my Kinks or Power-exchange dynamics? Am I really Addicted?...

As a Narrative therapist, I consider myself an active and collaborative clinician. My approach is creative and engaging, and will often incorporate metaphor, storytelling, experiential exercises, skill-building, and an emphasis on Harm Reduction. I also offer EMDR for healing trauma.

Searching for a therapist who can help you to improve your relationships? Seeking individual or couples therapy? Do you: 1. Want to connect with a therapist who provides support over the long term (not looking for a quick fix) 2. Plan to attend therapy weekly at first, & perhaps every other week, once we reach more of a 'maintenance' stage 3. Feel willing to take an honest look at yourself & 4. Hope to grow as an individual &/or as a couple? **I enjoy meeting with clients like you, & want you to know it's my hope that you (& your partner) quickly begin to experience noticeable results.**

I am passionate about helping others identify and build on strengths to live authentic, meaningful lives. I believe the therapeutic relationship is collaborative process in which you can safely explore and make sense of your inner most world. It is through this understanding that we begin to recognize and process patterns that no longer serve us and make small shifts towards rewriting our own stories.
