I am a somatic experiencing practitioner and clinical sexologist committed to diversity and accessibility and offer a holistic therapeutic approach targeted to fit client needs. I am dedicated to trust-building and co-creation and enjoy worksheets/ post-session exercises that reinforce and assist integration.

I believe we are all works in progress. Seeking therapy is a brave choice to help better carry your load and further you along your journey. I visualize therapy as a collaborative journey we take together. In our first appointments, I will get to know the roads you have taken and what has guided you along your way. We will identify what is working and what is not, then work together to establish your goals for treatment. Growth can be uncomfortable at times and you may be challenged in the process. You can expect me to be aware of this and to approach it directly and with sensitivity.

Life is full of transitions, twists and turns, and "things coming at us". We sometimes wake up with a desire to free ourselves from mental - social/emotional hurt, when in front of life experiences. Whether the pain is new, or coming from the past, talking and having an outlet, is the beginning before releasing the negative WE hang on to... When you are ready and motivated to make changes to reach a new level of living, I am here to help you face the obstacles that are in the way of your objectives...

In addition to being a clinical supervisor in La and MD, I work specifically with student-athletes and high performing women, as there is a unique set of pressures for both populations. It is important to have a special skill set to thrive in their lives. Too often though, there is either a lack of balance or decreased performance, and both are needed for sustained wellness and success. Through a combination of psychotherapies and performance psychology, I aim to help clients achieve their goals. I believe that the therapeutic process is a partnership that the client is in control of, as they know their lives the best.

My approach includes behavioral, psychodynamic and psycho-educational strategies. I am rat eclectic and flexible. I encourage self-help and educational approaches as well. Many clients have workplace issues as well as problems of daily life and conflict within the family setting. Often clients need to get in touch with their strengths and learn new coping skills and strategies to enhance their relationships and quality of life. I have an interest in themes of burnout, midlife transitions and work/life balance. Recently I have seen clients reporting religious trauma or questioning childhood religious practices.
