“And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

About me
My overall approach to therapy involves the belief that all behaviors, thoughts, and feelings make sense within the context of our lives. At times though, the things that once helped us cope with our circumstances no longer serve their purpose, but the thought of letting go or healing can feel overwhelming, or even impossible.
In our sessions you will be met with a warm approach that balances insight development, skill building, problem-solving, and humor. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who have been impacted by childhood or complex trauma, and I have been trained in various therapeutic methods, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems/parts work, somatic approaches, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I help clients explore topics relative to sex and sexuality utilizing a sex-positive, kink/BDSM-affirming, and relationally diverse perspective. (Please know that sex is something we can talk about, not something we have to!)
I love my job. Truly. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journeys every day, and I am constantly humbled by their honesty, resilience, and willingness to show up and do the work.
I also love rescue dogs, scuba diving, and ice cream.
