I love to work with and welcome folx (especially heart-centered, pleasure-seeking sensitive folx) who desire emotional, sexual & relational freedom. Drawing from my professional experience and my personal experience, I am excited to help individuals and intimate partners connect with and live out their full unapologetic sexual and relational selves.

In short, my strength is in emotions. I help individuals and intimate partners feel their feelings (especially vulnerable ones) and help them create an intentional and personal practice for emotional self-nurturing; a foundation for emotional grounding and sexual and relational freedom. It’s something to feel better, but getting better at feeling is where its at! You are the expert of you and your relationship(s). I show up as a mirror to potential emotional blind spots (with your guidance) and as a sexuality and relationship resource for you as you need.

I employ a holistic therapeutic approach. The foundation of my work with individuals and couples is my understanding that each person has a unique life experience, and brings a distinct perspective to the process. My therapeutic approach is designed to help each client become aware of - and ultimately repair - the underlying causes of suffering and misunderstanding.

I provide individual and relationship counseling to teens and adults. I am trained to address a variety of issues, and my clinical specialities include: relationship issues, anxiety disorders, coping with chronic illness, processing and healing from trauma, and embracing uniqueness. I often work with other healthcare professionals as well as artists, musicians, and others in creative professions. I utilize an intersectional and trauma-informed lens and seek to provide a safe space for all.

I specialize in treating eating disorders, and have conducted research specifically at the intersection of eating disorders and people of color, as well as eating disorders and trans/GNC individuals. I also specialize in relationship issues, gender and sexuality concerns, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I serve ages 10+.

You deserve to feel fully supported and understood in the therapeutic process. While affirming exactly who you are and applying evidence-based techniques, I will work with you to help you feel more freedom and engagement in your life, to let go of patterns of behaving and thinking that are no longer serving you.

I enjoy utilizing an integrative approach to therapy that focuses on stories and how the different parts of us show up in the world. I studied Musical Theatre for my undergraduate degree, and I believe that art and humor can be an integral part of the healing process. I utilize narrative therapy, parts theory, and post-modern approaches to help people integrate themselves and their identities. I enjoy working with folks within the LGBTQIA+ community, young adults, people with ADHD, and people with anxiety.

I endeavor to hold space compassionately, empathically and to be present however clients need – non-judgmentally seeing and positively affirming their strengths and struggles. We will work together practically and utilize various therapeutic modalities ranging from relational, CBT, Narrative, Somatic, EMDR and Hypnotherapy to rewire neural pathways and draw upon inner resources to help you feel better and get to where you want to go.

We live in a world full of racism, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, and misogyny that is oppressive and isolating. The shame and rejection we experience can become ever-present in our minds. I see sex and pleasure as empowering ways to heal. My hope is to bring you closer to fully loving and radically accepting yourself.
