I specialize in working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence. My belief is that it is critical to examine the structures and dynamics that we both exist within and from which we often experience marginalization. I both have experience in and am greatly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients, clients from racial/ethnic minority backgrounds, and clients on the autism spectrum. I believe that an understanding of the way we navigate the world is integral to better understanding ourselves.

My international sex counseling clients have included West End and Broadway actors, Wall Street traders, waitresses, construction workers, and homemakers, all seeking a trauma-responsive, kink-friendly environment to address their sexual concerns. They aim to overcome STIs, erectile, ejaculatory & orgasmic challenges. On their own or with a referral from their healthcare providers, my clients desire enhanced pleasure, improved intimacy, and a satisfying sex life through self-exploration & tailored guidance, free from the constraints of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. In those situations, they know I will make the appropriate referrals.

I am a psychotherapist with 10+ years of experience providing individual therapy for adults and adolescents. My focus is on in-depth psychoanalytic therapy informed by the theory and practice of Lacanian psychoanalysis. People come to work with me when there is a problem—a symptom, a conflict, a traumatic experience—that gets in the way of satisfaction in life. Common issues include anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and difficulty with love and sexuality. Psychoanalytic work aims at addressing the real causes of these problems, and can result in new ways of relating to yourself and others.

The pain we feel is individual. Each may live with unfortunate experiences, face stressful situations, or suffer conflicts with partners and within themselves. If we ignore them, we may find ourselves unable to reach the goals we pursue and, instead, only feel dissatisfied, bitter, or stuck. Our work together will uncover and conquer the obstacles so that the pleasure can be felt and the goal that has been longed for can be fulfilled.

I love supporting clients in developing self-compassion, identifying and building on strengths, and learning new approaches to achieve a sense of well-being and peace. I have experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, social and communication challenges, gender and sexual identity, polyamory, and neurodivergence. My work is fueled by a belief that everyone is doing the best they can with the tools they've got. I use a collaborative approach that integrates a person's own wisdom and lived experience with my clinical background so that together we can come up with new ideas.

Please note email is my preferred method of contact for new clients. When my clients are functioning at their best they are creative, playful, passionate, and hard-working. They are adults aged 18+ who are interested in a holistic look at their wellbeing (including factors like sleep quality, relationships, movement etc.). When struggling they tend to find themselves overwhelmed with worry, self-doubt, and/or self-criticism. They are also curious about their body sensations and what that information may mean for their mental health.

You appear to have it together all the time, but deep down you feel a chronic sense that you are falling short, imperfect or not good enough. You may be exhausted from the voice of imposter syndrome. Holding boundaries is so hard. You feel so much pressure to get it perfect or get it right. You question your capabilities. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to let go of questioning yourself. You’re ready to move past the fears that keep you stuck. Most of all, you’re ready to trust deeply in your worth and capabilities
