I offer an open, non-judgemental space where you can speak honestly about your thoughts and experiences while working towards your personal goals. As a queer, trauma-informed sex therapist, I enjoy working together to deconstruct the social scripts, pressures and ‘shoulds’ that often get in the way of our growth, healing and liberation. Some areas that I am especially passionate about working with are anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality, relationship dynamics, existential questioning, sexual trauma and chronic pain.

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, OCD, depression and anxiety. I strive to create safety with each person I work with so we can explore what is going on emotionally, physically, cognitively and spiritually. Trauma and stress live in the body and, in my experience, an integrated approach is most helpful, where we pay attention to feelings, physical sensations, thoughts, behaviors and images that arise during sessions. I also utilize mindfulness, and inner child healing. We will work together moving towards your goals, so that as you feel better, you will have more freedom to become the person you want to be.

Therapy can be daunting for some and feel like home for others. My goal of working with you is to meet you where you are at, and foster an environment of warmth, safety, and understanding that enables us to grow together. I understand that life can feel overwhelming, challenging, and leave us feeling like we don’t know where to turn next. Through compassion, and authenticity, I encourage you to explore what gets us “stuck”, and the barriers that prevent us from healing.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken and disconnected from who we truly are. You may be fed up with feeling lonely, worthless, or even unlovable. You may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for certain: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to begin understanding the root of these feelings. You’re ready to cultivate deeper self-trust and authenticity. Most of all, you’re ready to return home to yourself.
