About My Clients

Clients often tell me they feel more grounded, clear, and connected after our work together. They learn to communicate with more confidence, trust their intuition, and break free from old patterns that keep them stuck. Whether they're exploring nonmonogamy, healing relationship wounds, or navigating big life transitions, they leave therapy feeling more empowered, present, and aligned with who they really are.

My Background and Approach

I’m a relational therapist blending IFS, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), somatic work, and sex therapy to help you break free from patterns of disconnection and defensiveness. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folks, those exploring nonmonogamy, and anyone feeling stuck in their relationships or personal growth. I am committed to cultural sensitivity and create an inclusive space where your unique background, identity, and experiences are deeply honored. My approach focuses on creating emotional safety, vulnerability, and accountability so you can rebuild trust and deeper connection. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, or seeking to feel more authentic and aligned with your needs, I offer a warm, direct space to help you heal, grow, and reclaim the intimacy you deserve. Together, we’ll work to shift stuck patterns and move toward more loving, conscious connections - with yourself and others.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen and supported. In therapy, I create a space where you can be authentic, knowing there’s no judgment. This is a place to explore, grow, and challenge the patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you. I’m here to help you reconnect with your true self, one step at a time. Self-compassion is at the heart of this journey, and I encourage you to embrace all parts of yourself with kindness. Our work together will gently challenge old beliefs, allowing room for new perspectives and behaviors that align with your core values. I bring an empathetic, trauma-informed approach, honoring the depth of your experiences while helping you move forward in a way that feels authentic to you. You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you're navigating relationships, nonmonogamy, or personal growth, I’m here to support you in creating deeper, more meaningful connections with yourself and others.
