So often, we can identify the challenges we are experiencing, but we have difficulty processing and understanding them alone. It is my goal to compassionately collaborate with you as we bring greater awareness and acceptance to present moment thoughts, feelings and body sensations. It is through this awareness and increased mind-body connection that we are able to allow, explore and process these difficult experiences. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and identities experiencing difficulty with anxiety, stress, burnout, adjustment, medical issues, professional transitions and development.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.

Welcome! In a world with enumerable pressures and expectations, it can be easy to slip into familiar patterns of surviving that make the world feel more manageable. At times, some of these behaviors stop serving us and can even bring us harm. It can be difficult and scary to shift out of the familiarity of these behaviors and embrace new and unfamiliar ways of taking care of ourselves. I am committed to being there with my clients through that discomfort, building on the skills that exist within, expanding tolerance to distress and discomfort in an empowering way, and creating healthy and sustainable ways of moving through life!

My therapeutic approach involves close attunement and engaged interaction. I look at how unconscious dynamics may be at play in your daily thoughts and behavior and provide insight and guidance for working through what may be limiting. I view the therapeutic alliance as a relationship that grows and deepens over time. To that end, I offer a forum in which to be deeply known and understood.
