I can assist you in finding expression and healing and reclaiming your true self and life.

In my work with individuals, couples, and families, my goal is to help you reconnect, or connect for the first time, with your personal sense of meaning in order to carve out a life that is fulfilling.

I have a holistic view of therapy and use a strengths-based approach often incorporating humor and mindfulness techniques to engage with my clients. I believe that every individual possesses the capacity to make positive life changes and that these changes can occur when individuals feel understood, safe and challenged to explore new ways of thinking about their experiences.
My specialties include healthy sexuality and reproductive health. I have worked in the field of sexuality for over 15 years. In addition, I have worked with survivors of violence, including sexual abuse and intimate partner violence. There is help for everyone, and I look forward to working with you on your healing journey.
