I am currently taking new telehealth clients for sex therapy, couples therapy and trauma therapy. My ideal client wants to heal. With all the trauma from the past few years, self-work has never been more necessary and normalized. Coming out of a global pandemic, with relationships and sex lives suffering, we all need to be intentional about rebuilding emotional, mental and sexual health. Whether you’re trying to heal from trauma, improve communication and intimacy in your relationship(s), explore polyamory or consensual non monogamy, or explore sexual and/or gender identity, I believe I can help you to achieve your personal goals.

Crisis and adversity can become opportunities to refocus on our values, needs and wants. People of all ages seek talk therapy during emotional crisis. In therapy individuals identify symptoms of anxiety and depression resulting from academic, social, and emotional stressors. I specialize in helping people learn to cope and formulate a 'return to normalcy' plan with evidence based treatments such as Cognitive and/or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (CBT; DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I value and believe that the work done together in session is key with helping clients reach their goals.

You are one-of-a-kind. And so, beginning with our first meeting, I will be sure that I clearly understand you and your unique needs. Then, as your therapist, I will work to help you establish and achieve the goals that are immportant to you. Effective psychotherapy supports the emotional healing that leads to wellbeing. My approach includes what I call "relational reflective listening and speaking". It's a process that developes and nurtures the deep respect I have for my patients. In our conversations you and I together will discover new possibilities, new hope that heals the heart.
