My work focuses on LGBTQ+ and BIPOC issues relating to anxiety and depression, with an emphasis on relationships and sex. Common topics include relationship anxiety and ambivalence, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), hook-up culture, non-monogamy, kink, infidelity, and problematic sex and porn use. I am a professional member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) as well as the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF).
If you want to better understand yourself and your relationships, better manage difficult emotions, rediscover joy, and redefine yourself from painful experiences, I may be able to help. Together, we can unpack problematic beliefs you may have about yourself or others, develop new communication and coping tools, and explore living more authentically.
I provide a therapeutic approach that is integrative in nature and unique to your needs and goals. I incorporate evidence-based interventions, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), yoga, and more.
