I am a therapist who specializes in increasing sexual communication, pleasure, and satisfaction for my clients. I work with both individuals and couples to achieve the sexual lives they are looking for. People struggle with sex for many reasons such as learning "sex is bad", concern about differences in desire, no desire, struggling with sex/gender identity, trauma, lack of comfort/education about sex, anxiety about having sex/talking about sex with others, pelvic pain, not orgasming, ED, premature ejaculation etc. If this sounds like you I am here to help without judgement, to collaborate on how to create a new sexual narrative.

Everyone deserves a life that they’re proud of and dare I say excited for–even you. If your life isn’t what you thought it’d be, if you have challenges you’re struggling to overcome, if you’re not adjusting the way you thought you'd be, or if you're just not satisfied and want more from your life, you’re not alone and getting support is completely okay. While finding and working with a therapist can seem daunting, the therapy itself doesn't have to be. Sometimes it can be fun and restoring, and yes, at other times it can feel vulnerable. Along the way, we'll find what works best, and I promise to go at your pace.

Hello! I work with people who are introspective, who perhaps know in their head what would help but it doesn’t always pan out or change how they feel. I strive to support people I work with to feel more peace in their lives, more alignment with what they want, and more confidence when facing tough decisions. I work with people from all walks of life, predominantly 18-30 year olds who want to untangle personal patterns and relationship dynamics to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I deeply respect the unique lives of the individuals I work with, and I love to witness their progress toward their goals.

I have many years of experience working in telehealth and in-person. I recognize that these trying times are easier to handle with someone traveling alongside you. I have experience with a variety of psychological challenges that include depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, substance-use, and life transitions. I have experience working with people of differing ethnic and racial groups and among those who identify as LGBTQ+. I also speak Spanish. I primarily use trauma-informed and skills-based approaches that include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I work as a Psychiatric RN and have an MSN as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

In a busy, overwhelming, too-much world we all need to find ways to care for ourselves. Reaching out for therapy can be a way to carve out some space to nourish and connect to yourself. Maybe you're here because you feel overwhelmed and anxious. You know you have deep wisdom inside but the overwhelm is making it hard to access it. Perhaps there is self-judgment for feeling “too sensitive”. You’re doing big things yet you still feel small. You long to feel calm, centered, and connected. My grounded, intuitive, and collaborative approach can help!

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and ADHD. Tired of worrying and hyper-fixating on things you could have done better? Do you frequently shift into an anxious body and struggle to calm yourself down? Emotional challenges are exhausting, with stress manifesting in overthinking, perfectionism, sleep issues, nausea, and panic attacks. You are not alone. Therapy can press the pause button on life and heal reoccurring patterns standing in your way. Growth happens when you have a warm therapist to help work through the hard stuff. I get that, and I place a premium on holding that safe space for you.

Welcome! I work with a diverse age range of adults through individual therapy. Much of what I do is to help people recognize and accept their emotions, set effective boundaries, build capacity for empathy and perspective-taking, and gain insight around their relationship dynamics and identities. My approach often focuses on the influences of systems of power & control in our lives and relationships, which I find to be deeply intertwined with our experiences of mental health.
