Therapy is a powerful tool to aid in healing emotional pain and creating satisfaction in our lives. We often find ourselves repeating patterns that get in the way of achieving goals. These patterns can cause difficulty in relationships, feelings about ourselves and fulfillment in our work. I practice from a relational perspective which focuses on expanding the capacity to relate and connect freely with others while maintaining a good sense of yourself. This work aims to enhance your relationship with yourself, eliminate painful patterns and allow for increased quality and enjoyment of life.

I offer a trauma-informed, culturally humble, radically inclusive, and tender space to investigate your feelings and needs. We can work together to co-create a set of relational and somatic tools that you can use to enhance what feels good and regulate what feels overwhelming. I am an LGBTQ+, kink, and ENM/Poly informed therapist specializing in trauma, and I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship built on non-judgmental safety can be transformative. I use a collaborative, relational approach to re-write problematic stories and relational scripts rooted in oppressive social norms and offer a new vocabulary of pleasure.

You may be feeling stuck, knotted up; undone by anxiety or anger; haunted by memories you simply cannot shake. Our work together can help. Attending with care to your unique passions, desires, fears—and to a history that may feel known but not quite your own—psychoanalytic work can help transform the very narrative of your life. Inviting into speech parts of yourself that may be hungering to speak, and sometimes hiding in plain sight, psychodynamic treatment can lead even the deepest of psychic pain to fall away, all the while allowing something new, something freeing, to emerge.

I enjoy working with couples who are interested in an open / polyamorous relationship. I have found that short-term therapy can be incredibly useful in setting up these types of arrangements when boundaries, trust, and communication are paramount. I also work with couples who are struggling with these issues in closed relationships. It is my goal to help you develop mutual respect, understanding, and empathic communication. The individuals that I work most effectively with are those experiencing a big life transition (new baby, divorce, job, graduation, etc) with challenges coping or have unresolved trauma of their past bubbling up

As a therapist, I strive to create an environment that is conducive to exploration without fear of judgment for both individuals and couples. We’re often isolated in our hurt, and more so when shame is present. The experience of struggle is something we all face, but the choice to face it and exist with our vulnerability is where our innate strength and capacity to thrive emerges.

I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and a Certificate in Psychoanalysis. The most important thing for a therapist is to begin with the patients' concerns and feelings.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
