I recognize that therapy can be anxiety-provoking and uncomfortable. Thus, I aim at creating a safe, non-judgmental, and warm environment for you to share your concerns, thoughts, and feelings openly. I focus on cultivating the therapeutic relationship while utilizing various evidence-based techniques that can help alleviate some pressing issues. As treatment progresses, you will gain more awareness and insight that may result in breaking an old pattern or having an "aha" moment. In addition, I will be in "it" with you every step of the way and provide the unconditional support we all deserve. I specialize in relational and sexual issues (e.g., dating, lack of intimacy, infidelity, out-of-control sexual behavior, BDSM, open/poly) and promote healthy sex for all. I am kink-aware and an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I also have 12+ years of experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, eating issues, lack of assertiveness, and identity issues. Additionally, I acknowledge cultural dynamics that can happen in and out of the therapy room.

I believe that the therapeutic process works best when the focus is on the client. I share feelings, both positive and negative, that may arise in the therapeutic setting that I feel may be important or helpful to the process. I also process transference/countertransference as well as cultural issues that may arise in session.
The best part of the work is the relationship I form with you over time. I am grateful to be a part of someone's life and get insight into his/her most private thoughts and feelings. I also get the opportunity to facilitate genuine human connection while learning from other's experiences.
I do because I believe therapy is not only what takes place in the office but what happens when you step out into the busy city streets. Thus, assigning things to complete between sessions can help hold you accountable and stay on track.
