What’s the “magic ingredient” that separates therapy that works from therapy that doesn’t? Research shows the same thing over and over again: it’s the quality of the connection between therapist and client. If we can build a relationship with each other based on trust and exploration, then it’s amazing what we can accomplish together. Will I show you some techniques to help you regulate your nervous system? You bet. Will I help you figure out how to make sense of some of those self-critical thoughts that wake you up in the night and follow you throughout the day? You can count on it. But all of that is secondary to what’s at the heart of our work together: my curiosity about your experiences, my concern about your wellbeing, and my belief that you are worthy of being understood and cared for unconditionally.

I’m here to walk beside you as you work toward being the version of yourself you want to be—as an individual and as a partner. I offer a warm, supportive approach to help you find your way through your hardest moments to a more balanced and peaceful place in your life or partnership. That kind of connection doesn’t form quickly, so therapy with me isn’t a “quick fix.” But if you can take the leap of faith that connection is the key and can work with me to help us both better understand your mind, then we might be a great fit.

I am a LGBTQ+ therapist, and I am sex-positive, kink-aware, and affirming of all consensual relationship structures.
