As a sex therapist working with individuals and couples of all structures, my work focuses on helping clients cultivate self-awareness, shift patterns that no longer serve them, and build more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in psychotherapy centered on sex, intimacy, and meaningful connection, supporting clients as they gently move through stuck dynamics and deepen intimacy—with themselves and others. In a society that often prioritizes independence over connection, therapy offers a space to feel truly understood.

Therapy provides a space to process and reclaim experiences, thoughts, and emotions that may have felt stuck or weighed down by the pressures of our surroundings, cultural practices, and deep-seated personal beliefs. These barriers may be reflected in your family relationships, experiences of trauma and loss, and interactions with institutional forces. As a narrative-centered therapist, I will provide a supportive environment for you to deepen your understanding of yourself, challenge these barriers, and reframe your story in order to make empowered choices that align with your values and goals.

As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got it all together. But on the inside you never feel good enough and your inner critic is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re failing. You are the friend that everyone depends on and confides in, but deep down you feel like no one really knows you. You secretly feel lonely and isolated. No one knows about the anxiety you’ve been experiencing, or about how you have trouble sleeping because you can’t keep your mind from racing. You feel weak when something happens that you can’t handle.

I am committed to working from an anti-oppression lens, meaning that I see and acknowledge your unique identity and recognize the impact society has on your daily well-being. Your individuality and diversity will be embraced.

You are seeking out therapy, which likely means you feel overwhelmed and have found that your usual ways of coping are no longer working. Maybe you're in a transition such as graduation, a career change, or losing a loved one. Maybe you are feeling hopelessness or despair, struggling to stay afloat. Whatever your specific situation, your gut is telling you that you need some help to move through this struggle. Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage. Through my own healing journey and work with clients, I have experienced first-hand how our most painful times can be the birthplace of transformation, growth, and inspiration.

Finding the right fit is SO important in therapy. I work well with people who want a direct, no BS approach with lots of warmth and (dare I say...) a sense of humor! I have extensive training as a coach and also in somatic therapy, and I bring both a highly practical, cognitive orientation along with a belief that healing happens when you can connect with your own intuition and truest self. In my previous work as a coach, I did a lot of work with artists, and am generally a great fit for creative types. I am also in the process getting trained in EMDR.

I enjoy helping others find meaningful, authentic ways of connecting in their relationships and communities. Those I work with tend to feel a lack of connection or authenticity in their life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which we get to recontextualize our experiences through truthful and empowering reframes. This includes curiosity in how your identity and lived experience has shaped your worldview. I am professionally and personally passionate about geek and gaming culture and am comfortable weaving this into therapy when appropriate. Additionally, I work with a lot of young adults in the tech industry.

As a Native/Indigenous therapist, I work with an understanding that therapy doesn't look the same as the books. I choose to work from a holistic approach, helping treat the whole individual.

Through my private practice work, I aim to work with BIPOC folks like myself and provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help normalize seeking and recieving mental health support in our communities.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
