My approach to therapy

You’ve taken an important first step and your healing journey can begin here. The space I hold is individualized, compassionate, and centered on honoring your lived experience while supporting you in becoming your own strongest advocate.

My approach is collaborative, educational, and client-centered. I help clients build insight, confidence, and autonomy throughout their healing process. I work with individuals across a wide range of ages, identities, and life experiences, tailoring support to each person's unique needs and goals.

I also provide Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, including support for:

Stress management

Anxiety

Grief and loss

Workplace and life transitions

In addition, I have specialized training in sex therapy and support individuals experiencing pelvic pain–related concerns, including:

Pain with sex

Pudendal neuralgia

Vulvodynia

Anxiety or resistance related to pelvic floor physical therapy

Difficulties navigating medical care related to chronic pelvic pain

My work integrates emotional support, psychoeducation, and nervous system–informed approaches alongside the physical aspects of healing.

Sliding-scale options are available for individuals experiencing financial hardship.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, understanding what brings you to therapy, and identifying your goals. I take a collaborative and supportive approach, and over the first few sessions, we’ll build rapport and determine whether this feels like a good fit moving forward.
