You're stuck in this constant anxiety loop, trying to be perfect and please everyone. It’s messing with your ability to set boundaries and speak up. Self-doubt is wreaking havoc on your relationships and sex life. Whether you're a couple trying to get closer or coming into individual therapy to embrace your true self, you deserve help to become more assertive, connect deeply, and ditch the people-pleasing and perfectionism trap. Imagine a future where you’re genuinely happy, confident, and totally yourself. Picture confidently speaking up, enjoying better relationships, and living your best life. Let’s make that happen together!

You’re in the right place if you’re queer, neurodivergent, kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, or just proudly weird like me! Our sessions are all about being your full, fabulous self without judgment. Whether you're a glam glitter Barbie or a Halloween black cat, I celebrate your uniqueness because I know what it's like to be different and LOVE IT!

After our work, clients feel confident, manage anxiety, and thrive in their relationships. They embrace vulnerability and navigate ADHD, past trauma, and life changes with ease. Couples enjoy spicier intimacy and tackle communication and conflict like pros. Email me today to set up a first session or free consult, because you deserve a life that thrills you.

Are you ready to invest in what really matters for your happiness- your relationships? Many of us missed out on role models who could teach us how to nurture trusting, secure connections. Instead, we find ourselves stuck in the same old arguments, reacting on impulse, or feeling disconnected and unloved. The good news is, building better relationships is a skill we can all learn through therapy.
