Sexual addiction (SA) is a hidden addiction. It is a global problem, under-reported, and largely untreated. SA harms relationships, creates relational trauma for partners, and damages trust and intimacy in relationships. Addicts often engage in secrecy and feel shame and guilt about their behavior. Partners often feel betrayed and traumatized by the addicts behavior. Intimacy issues are often an underlying concern for both individuals and for couples. Like other addictions, SA can get progressively worse over the years. If untreated, SA can lead to relationship loss, divorce, job loss. financial problems, and legal problems.

I believe that everyone’s journey is unique, and that’s why my therapeutic process begins by meeting my clients where they are at. I utilize a strength-based approach, tapping into my client’s inherent strengths and resilience to empower them to navigate life’s changes. Throughout our sessions, I strive to create a safe and empathic space where active listening and mindfulness are key. By actively listening to my clients and practicing mindfulness together, we can explore their thoughts and emotions with compassion and curiosity, working towards lasting healing and growth.

Therapy provides a supportive framework to be present with life's ups and downs and examine life experiences in a new way. This exploration can help you understand yourself better, break old patterns, accept yourself radically, enrich your relationships, and grow. Regardless of your unique process, I believe you have the inherent wisdom and resilience to be present, heal, find joy & ease, and love yourself more. My approach is collaborative, relational, and emotion-focused, with a little humor thrown in.

I provide therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of strengths and challenges. I integrate expressive arts with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process feelings and experiences, reduce inner conflict, and improve relationships. I use a multi-arts, or intermodal, approach, which means I use movement, visual art, music and sound, writing, and mindfulness as therapeutic tools to initiate healing and change. Since this work is based on the creative process and not the resulting product, no background or training in the arts is required to benefit.

Beginning therapy can often feel like a daunting process. It is a courageous choice that requires vulnerability and curiosity. Great job on taking the first step! I utilize warmth, compassion, curiosity, and a holistic lens to create a safe, authentic therapeutic space. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship and see my role as a collaborator helping to co-author the stories of our lives. I support clients in creating more self-compassion and allowing space to navigate and overcome life's challenges, transitions, and stressors.

All people seek happiness and wish to avoid suffering and that all people have the right to pursue joy and freedom from pain. I believe that all people are capable of bringing constructive change into their lives, whatever their present circumstances. I view my job as providing a welcoming, supportive, safe, socially just, and competent space in which positive change can occur.

My private practice is focused on helping people curious about and/or practicing consensual/ethical non-monogamy, solo poly, relationship anarchy, and any alternative relationship style. I am BDSM/kink-aware and LGBTQIA+ friendly.

I work with people who are working through personal growth with mood, anxiety, and relationship issues.

My goal is to provide a place for you to talk about concerns whether they are day to day life stressors or serious mental health issues that are getting in the way of you living your best life. I believe sometimes we need a non-judgmental objective view to help us find ways to take the next step in our lives. I work with individuals who are struggling with stress, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, self-exploration, self-compassion, anxiety, and ADHD.

Are you a woman that lacks confidence in how decisions are made and often outsource for validation? As a woman, are you abandoning your self in relationships that have potential for true intimacy because you fear rejection? Are you a woman that has overcome much in previous psychotherapy and interested in exploring your inner world for a creative project? As a woman, are you seeking a safe space to explore nightmares or inner thoughts that you’ve kept inside because you’re frozen with uncertainty? Start individual sessions with me to empower yourself and gain your confidence back in your relationships.

My personal experience with anxiety and my professional background make me an authentic and direct therapist.

We have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD. When you start with NOCD, you’ll either work with me or be paired with one of my colleagues, depending on your preferences.

‍‍I really am a child at heart. This is why I love creating connections with children and teens. I see individuals as part of a larger system, via family, community and culture. I believe that the therapeutic alliance I make with my clients is really the heart of therapy and I have seen positive outcomes for my clients when they live confident, happy and healthy lives. In addition to my work with children and teens, much of my practice concentrates on counseling women who have recently separated from their partners, empowering women of all ages to be the best version of themselves. I strive to be the kindest human I can be.

I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families. In our work together, we will create a deeper knowing of yourself, challenge mindsets and behavior patterns that are not serving you, and develop a path forward to an abundant life. Our work together will go past feeling "okay" toward living the life that you want. If you are feeling stuck, going through a transition, having difficulty in relationships, or in a cycle that you want to move through and finally reach the other side, I would love to support you in your journey.

Taking the first steps to make life changes takes courage. I'd like to help you simplify and unpack issues so you can be happier, lead a more peaceful, centered life and feel better about yourself and others. Often counselling is the first opportunity to tell your story and say how it really is without fear of judgement or reprisal, or maybe you have always coped by bottling things up and would like to express your feelings. Together we can tackle relationship/family issues, depression, life challenges, grief, aging, health problems or whatever keeps you stuck.

Therefore, I integrate a cross-cultural perspective in my therapy sessions, having extensively worked with clients from various cultural backgrounds.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with the female adult population (over 18+) from a holistic counseling perspective viewing the individual not only as the self, but in conjunction with their history, circumstance, roles, relationships, values, and beliefs.
