I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of positive change in therapy. My practice is rooted in collaborative co-creation, where I work with individuals and couples who are eager to embark on a journey of growth, healing, and transformation. Together, we’ll shed patterns and coping strategies that no longer serve you and uncover fresh ways to nurture deeper connections with yourself and your partner. Within our sessions, you'll find a warm, calm, and nonjudgmental space to support your exploration.
My therapeutic approach integrates a systemic, nonpathologizing lens, exploring the intricate ways our lives are shaped by various systems—from our families of origin to factors like race and ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, and faith and spirituality. My trauma-informed approach integrates multiple therapeutic strategies to support you.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating challenges such as sex and intimacy, communication, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My practice is inclusive and affirming of all gender identities, sexual and erotic orientations, and relationship structures.
