Great to meet you!

I am so happy you are taking one step towards feeling better, towards solving a problem, towards your healing. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma, and identity issues, and have extensive experience with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I am passionate about the work with couples! I work with all configurations including ethical non-monogamous relationships, and those couples part of the kink community.

I am an LGBTQI affirming clinician :)

My approach to therapy

My style is calm yet dynamic, kind, and compassionate. I believe mindfulness is a super power and that life, even though challenging, is also beautiful. I will walk besides you in a way that will feel very real, but above all, hopeful.

What you can expect from me

When clients join me for therapy they can expect an environment that I will show up as a real person, open to them as real people as well.

We are not going to start by talking about deep, dark, hard things, we will little by little, create the safety to get to that point, with kindness, compassion, curiosity and understanding.

Together we will learn how to practice vulnerability, cultivate authenticity, learn how to love and honor ourselves, and choose hope.
