I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples who are seeking solutions for connection, intimacy, and overall satisfaction in their lives. My work focuses on areas of relationship dynamics, sexuality, life transitions, personal development, and emotional awareness. I love helping people grow, expand self-compassion, reduce shame, and live with more authenticity, lightness, and joy. Engaging in therapy can be challenging, requiring vulnerability and awkward moments. I guide clients though the process by creating a safe space to explore, sharing laughter, humor and the art of being human.
