Contrary to popular opinion that can characterize therapy as designed for unhealthy or dysfunctional people, my experience and belief is that therapy is for people seeking to improve their lives and their relationships. Whether it is a relationship with ourselves, with a spouse, partner, family or friends, many of us long for better connections and more empowerment in our lives. The good news is that we can learns skills to live more satisfying lives. Research on brain plasticity validates that we can change. Research also suggests we tend to do what we have already done, whether it works or not! Therapy can change this!

As a former management consultant working with high-performing professionals, I understand firsthand how the stress, speed, and complexity of today’s modern work environment can deeply impact our daily lives. Beyond the workplace, the demands of family, friendships, and personal responsibilities often add layers of complexity that leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. In our work together, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can begin to identify the patterns that contribute to your stress and discover new ways of approaching life’s challenges.

I specialize in OCD and sex therapy, and where the two overlap. I work with obsessive themes of all kinds— from germs to relationships and existential concerns. But if you’re anxious about the types of thoughts you’d prefer to never tell another living soul— like hurting people, pedophilia, sexual orientation, incest…that sort of thing— I’m definitely the right therapist. That stuff is my speciality. You’ll be surprised how easy it will be to talk to me about it.

We struggle to know where we fit in - at work, at home, in our social circles. Sometimes you wonder if you're really being understood or feel like an outsider in a group of people. Most of us barely make it out alive and are left buried in anxiety about being good enough, our children being bad kids, our friends and family not understanding us, and exasperation as we try to keep the whole family together while navigating the world of judgment.

Therapy is a partnership that grows in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance. It allows one to rediscover the parts of selves which may have been disowned; to learn new skills to handle grief and distress; to build healthier, more nurturing relationships; and to gain access to one's own direct experience of the world. I nurture this collaboration with clients and recognize that within each of us there exists a deeper wisdom that, given adequate support, naturally moves toward healing and integration.

I'm an AuDHD, queer therapist that works with other suspecting nueorspicy folx with trauma (including religious). I aim to fill the gap in testing/evaluation, neurofeedback, and therapy to help meet the demand of growing awareness. My experience has always been with the neurodivergent population, specifically the women like myself that were too high masking to be seen yet always felt different. If you suspect you have one or the other or both, lets work together to help you understand yourself.
