Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I specialize in supporting children and adolescents, adults and couples feel more confident, more connected in their relationships and more capable in knowing they can create a path forward towards a life they want to live. Whatever challenges you are facing or path you are exploring, you never have to do it alone. You deserve a place to receive support and make sense of it all.

I offer a welcoming, affirming space where we can explore the complexities of your experience and get to the crux of what you most need.

Along with talk therapy, I incorporate a mind and body approach to healing. This may include: somatic awareness, depth work, parts-oriented exploration, guided imagery, art and movement, psychoeducation, experiential exercises, and tools to help you manage difficult life stressors.

My personal disposition is warm, collaborative, interactive and engaging. I am gentle, yet direct and tailor my approach to each clients unique set of goals and particular needs.

I am LGBQT+, Disability and Poy/Kink/BDSM affirming and aim to bring a trauma informed, social justice lens to the work we do together.

I am passionate about working with folks who identify as LGBTQ*, those who practice kink/fetish, are polyamorous/ENM/CNM, and those who have been or are involved in sex work. I work primarily with individual adults, never children, and if there are partners who are otherwise a good fit for my practice orientation I will happily work with dyads, triads and groups.

I’m not your typical therapist. With me, you get a real person, free from judgement, that genuinely cares about your progress. I am a creative & passionate person both personally and professionally. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Art Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider.

Art therapy allows me to bridge the gap for those that struggle with verbal expression by offering an alternate form of communication and self-expression to ensure a positive therapeutic experience.

My counseling style is warm and inviting. I work with you to help identify your goals and encourage you to make therapy your own. Each therapeutic journey is personalized and unique to your needs. Areas of experience include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, impulse control disorders, self-harm, parenting skills, trauma, and grief.

The heart of what I do is support couples and relationships in our community. When I work with couples and relationships, I’m interested in helping support you in navigating tough conversations, building a solid foundation together, and getting your relational needs met. I am passionate about working with couples and relationships around: getting free from the cycle of conflict, communicating more skillfully together, mending and tending to trust issues, finding more sexual satisfaction, healing old hurts, and sinking into more relational security together. When I work with individuals, I’m interested in helping you sink into being fully you while being in relationship with others. That might mean learning more about who you are, discovering your needs in relationship, getting support with boundaries and saying “no,” processing your childhood and past, or growing your ability to being more vulnerable with others. I want to support you in being your full, authentic self. I am affirming of ethical non-monogamy (ENM), polyamory and open relationships. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, actively learning anti-racist, body positive, sex positive, and kink positive.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Diego. I provide therapy to individual adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My therapeutic style is strength-based and I utilize positive psychology in my approach. I believe that we all have the strength within us to overcome any challenge that life throws our way - we may just need a little guidance and support to access and utilize those inner strengths. My main focuses include treating anxiety, stress management, disordered eating, poor body image, low self-esteem, trauma, depression, and relational difficulties. My services include: Eating Disorder Therapy, Anxiety Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Depression Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Teen Counseling, CBT Therapy and more.

I am an eclectic therapist and I utilize many different therapeutic modalities depending on my client’s current needs, circumstances, and overall personality. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach and every client must be offered support in an individual and unique way. I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher so I utilize an array of mindfulness-based approaches when appropriate, especially when working with anxiety, stress, and depression.

My practice is poly-friendly, open to the LGBTQ+ community, gender non-conforming, cisgender, and heterosexual individuals. I meet the criteria for poly-friendliness due to experiences I have had working with clients, friends that identify as polyamorous and various articles I have read on the topic. I am trauma-informed and am also an EMDR clinician. I would love to help you access your inner strength.

I am a relationship enthusiast with 20 years of counseling experience. In the past 10 years, I have focused on counseling individuals, couples and moresomes on creative relationship structures: Polyamory, Open Relationships, Consensual Non-monogamy and Intimacy with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I assist clients in identifying symptoms that are negatively impacting their daily lives and possible root causes. I take a strength based perspective with an emphasis on evidence based practices while often incorporating humor into our sessions. My job is not to tell clients how to live their lives, but to provide a safe space to explore their desires and teach them tools to reach their therapeutic goals. My clientele includes the LGBTQ+ community, individuals living with health challenges/chronic pain, & older adults. I practice from a sex positive framework & specialize in concerns related to relationship issues, trauma, & polyamory/kink. I am currently engaging in continuing education regarding human sexuality to further my knowledge of sexuality as an integral part of clients’ lives.

My therapeutic practice is grounded in compassion and empathy while working with clients to cultivate sustainable life changes. I have a strong commitment to working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, of which I am a proud member, from a place of empowerment throughout all the stages of adulthood. In conjunction with sessions conducted via telehealth I provide home visits in the greater Boston area as my schedule allows.
