As a queer therapist and individual, I am passionate and excited to be able to build a practice that provides affirmative psychotherapy to my community. My goal with each client is to build a strong therapeutic relationship in which they feel heard, understood, and appreciated. Together, we work towards reframing negative thought patterns, gaining deeper insight and understanding, and nurturing your overall mental health. My practice is built on values drawn from sex-positive, kink-savvy, body-positive, queer and trans-affirming care.

I work with clients who, despite their best efforts, seem to keep running up against a wall. Whether it's due to past childhood traumatic experiences, current work or relationship stressors or no known reason, I would love to support you. I especially enjoy working with couples as they navigate stuck patterns of disconnection. For individuals my primary focus is usually with anxiety and parenting. Clients who come to me often want a clearer understanding of their emotional experiences and relationship patterns. A main goal my clients are looking to achieve include a deeper and stronger relationship with themselves and others.

Life is complicated, and often very difficult. My goal is to help you deal with that. Relationships are so important to us, yet they’re the hardest thing we do. Sometimes the people that love us most, hurt us most.

Perhaps the concept of truly loving yourself feels very foreign to you; you might have tried other types of therapy or read self-help books but still face a harsh, almost relentless, inner critic. I specialize in working with people struggling with: fears of being a burden, the wound of feeling "not enough," self acceptance, and difficulty feeling comfortable in relationships. As well as couples who are seeking: better communication, to break repeated patterns of fighting, increase connection and intimacy, and rekindle what once was.

I am invested in helping you recognize thinking and (in)action patterns that hold you back or help you flourish. You may gain clarity about attitudes and beliefs informing everyday behaviors. Building motivation and tapping into innate resilience is a major part of the healing journey. The focus can be on lowering stress, increasing safety and security in relationships, and developing healthy self-esteem. This involves exploring current coping and refining skills for various situations and settings. Over time and with practice, you may become more flexible and responsive. You may feel more readiness for new and harder challenges.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
