More than half of my clients are couple's seeking help to navigate difficult conflicts in their relationship. Many are seeking support and guidance healing from the trauma of infidelity. Other couples are hoping to improve their connection, intimacy, and communication. I also work with adult individuals to help navigate attachment wounds, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My clients seek a safe space to overcome their inner conflicts, understand the dimensions of their being, and be seen and heard. I use interventions in sessions to help clients resolve conflicts and put words to their feelings.

I enjoy working with clients struggling with intense feelings like anger, aggression, fear and paranoia to create a working alliance that helps misunderstood people live more freely and openly. All people want to feel safe and loved, but some are overwhelmed by the intensity of close connection. They want to feel known, but they are also allergic to intimacy. They want to feel attached, but they are also deeply distrustful of others. I also enjoy helping these clients in couples therapy to navigate the intersections of intimacy, vulnerability and sexuality. I work with a multicultural perspective, celebrating diversity of all kinds.
