As a sex and relationship therapist, I am passionate about guiding people in the journey of exploring their true self. As a person learns to love and accept themselves, they are able to experience a deeper level of intimacy and connection with others. The most gratifying relationship is one that involves two people who are able to connect emotionally, intellectually, sexually and spiritually. I look forward to working with individuals and couples who desire to reach a healthier view of themselves, their relationships and their sexuality. As vulnerable as it can feel to engage in therapy, it can also be a rewarding journey.

Accepting new clients. Starting therapy or restarting therapy can be a real act of courage. When looking at all the possible therapists to get linked with can be an overwhelming experience. How does one know if this person will be a good fit. In my years of practice I have regularly tried to help my clients by offering treatment that is lead by the clients goals with a genuine approach. Sessions together should be more of a partnership and issues addressed at the clients comfort level.

When anxiety looks different for every person and approaches are not a "one size fits all," it makes managing your anxiety even harder. We often use tools to help us cope, but sometimes these tools aren't enough. Whether you are managing generalized anxiety, panic attacks, peripartum anxiety, postpartum anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, anxiety is a complex and overwhelming emotion that affects nearly every aspect of our daily lives. As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), my work incorporates evidence-based practices in an authentic environment where you, your insights, and your goals are valued.

Growth is part of a healthy and fulfilling life. As humans, we are made to feel connected to all the parts of ourselves as well as feel connected to others. But sometimes, fear, anxiety, and shame can get in the way of us living our lives to their fullest and making the deepest connections with the important people in our lives. These same things.....fear, anxiety, and shame, can keep us from feeling connected to ourselves and being the genuine and authentic person we were meant to be.

Hello and welcome, I’m glad you’re here. As individuals, we weave our own beautiful and unique tapestries of life. However, every once in a great while, we hit a snag and become unsure of the texture, color, and direction of which to continue to weave. As a therapist, I believe that each one of us has the capability and capacity to continue weaving, you might just need help with a few knots along the way. That’s where I come in.

I specialize in helping LGBTQ+ people heal from the impacts of trauma. Using EMDR and other trauma and attachment focused techniques, I work with clients who's experiences of sexual or relationship trauma, difficult family relationships, marginalization, and more, have shaped how they see themselves and the world. As a queer, non-binary, trans person, I offer an environment where you don't have to "explain" your queerness, nor choose between a queer therapist and a trauma-focused one. My approach is social justice oriented, and based in the power of authenticity, acceptance, and attachment.

Therapy needs to be special to each person, as each person experiences life from a different lens. My approach is to first get to know you as a person, understand your experiences, and then to decide what therapy techniques will work best for your healing and growth. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and utilize person-centered and humanistic approaches. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are trying to cope with anxiety, depression, bereavement, traumatic stress, body image and self-esteem difficulties, and challenges with life transitions.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
