What would it look like to feel safe in your body? What would it look like to be whole? What might it feel like to love yourself authentically and wholeheartedly? These simple but profound questions call out to us and point us toward possibility and hope. Nobody has life 100% down, but healing and ongoing well-being are genuinely possible. Let’s do this together! I have special interest and experience working with adolescents and adults surrounding perinatal mental health, depression, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions, as well as trauma and PTSD related to issues of race, and community violence.

Feeling fractured from your once-strong sense of self can be confusing, isolating, and painful. Oftentimes these feelings can arise from societal pressures to conform, living in a sex-negative society, or relationship and systemic trauma. Sex & relationship therapy can be a good fit for improving the relational quality of your life and accessing desire as a tool for living well. I specialize in supporting individuals and relationships (of all styles) who struggle to access authenticity and wholeness in their daily lives. I work best with engaged clients who practice active self reflection.

We work with individuals on a variety of different issues directly impacting their lives: pregnancy, abortion, sexuality, gender identity, relationships, and the intersection of these experiences with religion/spirituality. The things we most need to talk about are often the things that make us uncomfortable, challenge our worldview, or are deemed “socially unacceptable”. Exploring these issues and our feelings in a safe environment expands our horizons and helps us to better understand ourselves and the world around us. Learning allows us to grow and develop as human beings. Personal growth can help us heal.

This fast paced life we live can be overwhelming. We are going at full speed. Jobs are stressful and demanding. Keeping our mind and bodies operating at full capacity, with the additional reserve of calm needed for managing our intimate relationships and child rearing, can be challenging. As a wife, mother, and design professional of over 15 years, I understand the stress of managing interpersonal conflicts with a difficult boss or co-workers, unmanageable workloads, and the ongoing demands of an ever-changing, competitive work environment. I also know how hard it is to balance work and home life.
