My approach, grounded in curiosity, will allow us to explore your story on your terms, at pace that feels most comfortable for you. While I appreciate and integrate several therapeutic modalities into my practice, my experience with Narrative Therapy significantly informs how I position myself as a therapist. My hope is to support you while you identify your goals, deepen your understanding of your values, and take your power back from the problems that try to get in your way. I specialize in treating those effected by grief, chronic illness, infertility, trauma, mood disorders, life transitions and relationship issues.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe therapy needs to be as unique as the individual and originate from a place of compassionate and collaborative curiosity. I take an eclectic approach that draws from somatic, dynamic, and relational schools of thought, with the underlying belief that all individuals already possess the ingredients needed to heal. My background predominantly involves working with teens, young and emerging adults, and athletes.

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.

You appear to have it together all the time, but deep down you feel a chronic sense that you are not good enough or falling short. You may be exhausted from the voice of imposter syndrome and a strong inner-critic. 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 feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Most of all, you’re ready to trust yourself deeply.

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.

WAIT! Are you swiping through therapists like you're on Tinder? Slow down a minute, and see if this sounds like you: you're a young adult (18-30ish) living on Colorado, Massachusetts, or Maine who is going through some major life changes. Maybe these changes are starting or finishing college, finding your first "big kid" job, or going through a relationship transition. Or, maybe things are stable, but still not what you want! You're feeling worried, anxious, or depressed. It's super hard, but you don't have to do it alone. If you're nodding your head or thinking "that's me!", we might be a good fit.

I am a licensed therapist who works with individuals and couples of all ages and various presenting concerns. I work with individuals with mental health challenges, addictive behavior, or life-transitional issues (e.g. beginning high school/college, launching into adulthood, managing relationships, grief/loss, etc.). I help couples get to a place of connection where each partner feels heard, understood, and loved by the other. No matter what circumstances led us to where we are today, I believe that we all have the potential to be happy and content.

Life and death - perhaps the biggest adjustments of the human experience. Each can stir up feelings such as overwhelm, guilt, and loneliness. If someone you care about is seriously ill or has died, if you're grieving loss due to miscarriage/stillbirth, or are trying to conceive, prepare for birth, or adjust to postpartum life, know that you do not have to move through these chapters alone. I have personal and professional background supporting children/families through hospice/grief and through the transition into parenthood. Together we'll create space to process your journey and identify tools to help you continue moving forward.

Are you struggling to keep it together after an infertility diagnosis or having a tough transition to parenthood? Infertility treatment is isolating - you probably don't know who to talk to, how much to share with your friends/family, and how to plan for the future when you don't know where your treatment will lead you. If you are a new or expecting parent, you are probably also really going through it - the sleep deprivation, the ever-changing needs of your baby, and the pressure to be "the perfect family." I will help you get through this and show up in your life the way you want
