Great to meet you!

I am a seasoned therapist focused on helping you build a happier and healthier life. I am a New York transplant now living in Minneapolis. I come from a multiethnic family and I have created my own multiethnic family. I have personal experience with adoption. I also have personal experience with co-parenting and blended families. I am a queer cisgender woman. I am committed to racial and social justice.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I focus on helping you build and maintain healthy relationships: personal, professional, romantic & sexual relationships. I offer individual, couples, & sex therapy.

I practice from a feminist perspective & look at therapy as a collaboration. You are important, worthy, & the expert in your own life despite the many systems of oppression giving you contrary messages.

For couples: I offer premarital counseling, relationship therapy, discernment therapy, & retreats.

What you can expect from our first session

In individual counseling we can talk through trauma, negative thoughts, adjustments, questions of identity, happiness, or life goals.

If you are having questions about intimacy, desire, shame, kink, sexual performance or desire, sex therapy may be right for you.

You may be feeling a loss of connection, a wall of miscommunication and a mountain of unmet needs within your relationship and I will help you find that connection and joy.
