Some of my clients find me after a lifetime of perfectionism and self-judgement, working too hard to make everything seem okay from the outside and paying too high a price for doing it. Some find me because intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are starting to take over their lives. And some find me because they feel shame and anguish around sex or their bodies. Some couples find me when they're not sure if there's a path to reconnection after an affair, or when medical challenges shift relationship dynamics. Some find me when they feel like roommates instead of lovers or when it feels like all conversations end in conflict.
As a therapist, I’m compassionate and direct. I believe the best therapy is grounded in up-to-date science, and I use research-backed interventions. I have advanced training and specialization in conditions that involve shame or intrusive thoughts, such as OCD, PTSD, anxiety, and sexual disorders with both individuals and couples.
Reaching out to a therapist can be hard, especially when it involves talking about things like trauma, intrusive thoughts, parenting, bodies, or sex. When your personal or professional roles require keeping things together, it can be hard to know where to turn. Get in touch to speak with someone who understands the stakes and knows how to help.
