How you were raised and loved is essential to your experience of self and the way you show up in relationships. I believe, at the heart of therapy there is a journey to explore what gets in the way of nurturing deep and authentic relationships that support both togetherness and individuality. I work with couples (queer/hetero, monogamous/open) who experience heartaches around sexuality, trust, infidelity, parenting – as well as couples simply looking for support with growing deeper and being more present with each other and themselves. Sessions are a full 60 minutes in length, and couples sessions are 75 minutes.

Have you been considering therapy? What’s stopping you from engaging in therapy? One of my goals is to destigmatize and normalize therapy, particularly in marginalized communities and expand access to therapy. As a therapist, my hope is to provide a safe, supportive, comfortable, judgement free environment that allows one to feel comfortable enough to open up and share their story and experiences.
