Accepting clients Last Updated 29 days ago

Growth and healing happen when we create space for all parts of ourselves to be witnessed and held. In our work together, I’ll help you develop a compassionate relationship with your inner world while working with you to develop skills and understanding to navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and authenticity.

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds who struggle with issues that impact all areas of their lives: work, friendship, partnership, family, and sex. Some common themes in my practice include: LGBTQ+ identities, gender & sexuality, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges in both traditional and non-traditional relationship structures, complex trauma, sexual trauma, obsessional thinking, communication issues, life transitions, chronic illness, and stress from sexism, racism, ableism.

I am a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to supporting clients find understanding, meaning, and change. I work with individuals and relationship partners.

I would love to learn about you, where you are in life, and how I can support you to live a more fulfilling life.
