Whether it is navigating general life stressors, attending to a complex psychological condition, bolstering your recovery efforts, or simply to talk things out, my goal is to blend empirically sound intervention with an authentic, caring, interpersonal style. My hope for you is the opportunity to heal beyond past psychological wounds coupled with movement towards a more mindful and peaceful place in your current life.

Imagine if where you are now is just a step to something greater. Whether life feels overwhelming and you want to break free from your stressors to lead a more fulfilling life, or your simply seeking to make a change. Let me offer support in your transformation.

Are you feeling distant from your partner? Have you experienced infidelity in your relationship and need help rebuilding trust? Are you uncertain about whether you want to stay in your relationship or end it? Do you have a pattern of choosing romantic partners who are unhealthy for you and want to make a change? I can help!

Are you feeling like it’s hard to authentically be yourself or connect with others? As a relational therapist, I recognize that our connections are the basis of both the greatest struggles and the greatest rewards we can know as humans. I specialize in work with couples, families, and individuals who have "non-traditional" relationships and sexualities. My work with clients is open and collaborative, often using narrative therapy, attachment theory, and systems theory to help people flesh out their sense of identity and strengths. You can expect transparency, a culturally-attuned lens, and a little humor in therapy with me.
