Do you notice that you worry more about what others think of you than what you think of you? Maybe you look around the room and compare yourself to others. Are you always "watching your weight" or trying a new diet? At first you felt like you were controlling the food, but now it seems like the food is controlling you. It's all you can think about. I've been treating people with various levels of eating disorders for almost 20 years. You and I can work together to get your life back.
I am an AASECT certified Sex Therapist, who works with individuals and couples who identify as LGBTQIA+, Kinky, Sex Workers, or practice Polyamory/Consensual Non-monogamy. I help any client interested in experiencing a more fulfilling and balanced relationship with sexuality or gender and is looking to heal from trauma.
I have experience working with individuals & couples that struggle with anxiety, depression, communication, trauma, loss, chronic illness, and perhaps have reached an impasse with moving forward within a career, relationship, or other life events. Individuality & diversity are paramount and I welcome those that might be described as "outside the box." I also have extensive experience working with professional artists and those in the entertainment industry & am trained in EMDR trauma therapy.

Are there moments when you feel overwhelmed, tired of feeling stressed, anxious, and discouraged from life events that are out of your control? Maybe you have experienced a significant loss like a relationship ending, a job loss, a move, loss of financial security, or the death of a loved one? All life changes both positive and negative can throw you into grief, a state of disequilibrium, where you struggle to find a new normal or you experience difficulties in your relationships.

It's important to work with a therapist who really gets you! Our therapists appreciate that we each have unique stories that shape us and that we all want to know that we belong. We work with diverse clients and specialize in helping you create more meaningful relationships & intimacy, heal trauma, cope with oppression & toxic culture, navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, embrace intersections of identity, feel more empowered as Highly Sensitive People, and feel less broken or alone.
Our clients are teens, individual adults, and couples who are highly sensitive/empaths, neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, etc.), creatives, and professionals who desire to heal from their childhood attachment injuries and build safe, connected, and meaningful relationships.

Our clients are intuitive, conscientious, and driven.
At Relationships For Better, our clients are highly motivated to address long-standing patterns in their lives that inhibit them from thriving.

Do you feel like you're life could use a tune-up but you're not sure where to start? Do you feel like you could use help navigating your relationships, at work or home? Sometimes a fresh set of eyes and ears can be a great help in getting to know yourself better and getting you on the road to a more fulfilling existence. I know what it means to feel stuck and overwhelmed and I look forward to helping you start to untangle outdated ways of coping so you can live fuller and with more ease.
Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or defeat, as a result of a significant life change or trauma? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, illness/pain or other traumatic experiences. You may feel unsafe & out of control of your life or emotions. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life...and yet despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.
Our therapists specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns with tailoring to identity trauma. We understand the profound impact of traumatic experiences and the importance of finding inner strength. We are committed to serving individuals from marginalized groups, including but not limited to people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those who face societal barriers. Our practice is a safe haven where you can be your authentic self, free from judgment and discrimination.
