Our quality of life improves dramatically as we learn to show up more authentically in our personal relationships.

We can always cultivate more meaningful connections, whether in an intimate partnership, biological or chosen family, or friendships. I understand how creating change can feel daunting or overwhelming and is best navigated with intentionality and solid support. Actively collaborating with my clients, I ensure that together, we set clear and attainable goals and that each session moves you closer to achieving your vision. Change is Possible!

As a Relational/ Experiential therapist, my approach integrates core tenants of Emotionally Focused Individual/ Couples Therapy and The Gottman Method to bring both deeper emotional insight and practical skills-building into the work. I find that this balance best enables you to take the work out of therapy and into your relationships.

Additionally, I have a passion for counseling LGBTQ+ clients and celebrate diverse and expansive expressions of sexuality, affection, gender, and intimate relationships. My practice is firmly sex and pleasure positive. If this sparked something in you, I hope you seize this moment and reach out to me. I look forward to taking the next steps with you
