Life can be so tough. Even when we want to live our best lives and thrive, sometimes it can just feel impossible to see the way to get there. When we've done the best we can and things still aren't working the way we want them to, that's when it's time to reach out and get help. As a therapist, it's my job to come along beside you, work with you to get really clear about all aspects of what is going on in the here and now, help you figure out where it is you would like to be instead, and walk with you from point A to point B.

Hey there! I help anxious overthinkers struggling with relationship wounds to heal their inner child and discover self-compassion. You feel like you’re always on high-alert for the next betrayal or abandonment, so you struggle to find peace in your relationships - and with yourself. Your friends might even call you an “empath” because you’re hyper-attuned to the emotions of those around you (little do they know, it can be quite a curse). You've been hurt in the past and you're tired of feeling like it's dictating your future. I get it, and I'm here to help.

You’re exploring your feelings about gender, sex, and sexuality, or you might be looking to explore sex work, kink, or polyamory. You’re realizing you’ve never felt truly empowered to make your own decisions and you’d like to step into your power and take back control. This could be because of trauma, infidelity, problematic sexual behaviors, lack of communication with partners, shame and stigma, or religious and societal expectations. You need someone to help you sort through the noise to find solutions that prioritize your needs and desires.

Relationship issues suck the fun out of life. They can drain your energy and even make you feel like you're dying inside. Whether it is your marriage, a committed, or other significant relationship, if it is not healthy, you won't feel healthy either. Relationship issues are like a dark cloud hanging over your head. Not to mention, the mental gymnastics involved in managing negative thoughts can be exhausting. The disconnect between the perception your friends have of you versus your relationship reality, only adds to your burden. The true reality is, good relationships are essential to our health and happiness.
