About My Clients

My clients often feel anxious, disconnected, or unseen in their relationships / from themselves. They’re navigating intimacy, attachment, or self-worth struggles—and want to understand themselves more deeply. I support individuals and couples through challenges with communication, body shame, desire, or sexual functioning, offering a grounded, compassionate approach that brings both insight and relief. Therapy becomes a space to feel more present, authentic, and alive.

My Background and Approach

I bring over 5 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through anxiety, relational conflict, and sexual challenges. My work draws from attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and contemporary sex therapy. With a background that blends traditional psychotherapy with coaching and somatic awareness, I help my clients gain both insight and practical tools for change. I offer a grounded, compassionate presence and a deep respect for the complexity of being human. I see therapy as a place to reconnect—with your body, your emotions, and your sense of aliveness. Together, we make space for the parts of you that have learned to hide, protect, or perform, so healing can unfold with honesty and care. The process is both practical and profound: learning to feel at home in yourself and at ease in your relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space for all people. My practice welcomes individuals and couples of all genders, sexualities, relationship structures, and cultural backgrounds. I approach every client with curiosity, respect, and openness—honoring the complexity of identity and the many ways we love, connect, and experience the world.
