Pronouns: She/Her

I specialize in therapy for relationships (ex: couples, families, and business partners) and see individuals. I am a trained sex therapist. My goal is to create an environment that centers your unique lived experience - you are the expert of your life. My priority is creating a safe, space for my clients to share what is present for them and supporting their connection, intimacy, acceptance, growth, and healing process. We will work together to create the therapy sessions that you need. I work with all gender, sexual, romantic and relationship identities. I am sex positive and HAES-aligned.

My approach to therapy is systemic and present focused.  All our systems (families/relationships/communities/society) have an impact on us! I utilize the following theories in our work: Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, Attachment Theory, Solutions Focused Brief Therapy, and somatic-based approaches including the Hakomi method.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I was an entrepreneur, and worked in business consulting. Outside of work I enjoy exploring nature my toddler and swimming in Seward Park!

My life was profoundly changed by couples and individual therapy. I feel honored to do this work with you.
