About My Clients

I work with couples and individuals feeling stuck, unsatisfied, and motivated to manifest more fulfilling and successful relationships. I offer a judgment free and supportive space for clients to explore strategies to better manage issues related to relationship concerns, infidelity, sexual compatibility, trauma, infertility, grief, depression, anxiety, parenting stress, life transitions and communication skills.

My Background and Approach

My practice is rooted in attachment theory. So much of how we understand ourselves and others comes from our experience with the world around us and our earliest relationships. I work from a holistic, person-centered, solution focused approach, intent on meeting my clients where they are with compassion, curiosity, and creativity. I utilize various theoretical interventions depending on client goals, and am sex positive, body positive, trauma informed and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone has a story. I want to know yours. Tell me about the adventures that inspired you and the times you felt connected and brave. Share with me the experiences that left you feeling fearful and insecure, unsure of where to turn next. Let’s explore the narratives and plot twists that have influenced the person you have become. You are your greatest storyteller. I am ready to help you write the next chapter. Let’s begin. Reach out today.
