Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults, and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.

I work with thoughtful, capable, high-functioning adults who spend much of their lives caring for others, solving complex problems, or creating meaningful work. On the outside, they often appear successful and composed. Internally, many feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or exhausted from carrying so much alone. I especially enjoy working with people in intellectually and creatively demanding fields, including healthcare professionals, scientists, musicians, engineers, and other deeply curious, driven individuals who want therapy that feels both emotionally grounded and intellectually engaging.

What if therapy could help you be less reactive, feel more empowered, and experience more hopeful interactions in your relationship? What if you could stay centered and speak for what you want and need, regardless of another person’s reaction? As a family therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems, or IFS, I seek to help individuals, couples, and families to explore, hear, and heal all the important, and often unrecognized, parts of themselves which influence every reaction and every choice. This inward focus removes the dependency on another person to achieve progress, opening up new possibilities for growth and change.

My goal is to provide support throughout the pregnancy journey, including pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, NICU support, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I can also offer support for parenting challenges including sleep issues and tantrums.

You've always been the "strong one", right? Maybe you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed because past experiences are blocking you from fully connecting with others, and most importantly, yourself.

Sometimes when people are forced to endure abuse or toxic environments over a long period of time, especially in childhood, they can develop ways of coping that are highly specialized to that environment. Unfortunately it can sometimes be difficult to change these habits once a person is no longer in that environment. I focus on what my clients want to work on and use my knowledge of psychology with my experience in working with diverse populations to help clients find relief from their mental health symptoms. I believe strongly in being kind, taking clients at their word, and helping them identify their strengths.

Some people show up to therapy after years of shrinking themselves to fit somewhere they never quite belonged.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.
How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
