(she/her)

Many people come to therapy feeling a level of uncertainty and disconnection—from themselves, from their partners, and from the life they want to be living. I help individuals and couples slow down, get curious, and reconnect to identify with what matters most to them. My work is grounded in family systems and attachment-based lens, integrating approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and components of Internal Family Systems. I show up with warmth, humor, and honesty while honoring each client’s lived experience, values, and identity. My goal is to help you make sense of your patterns, build stronger emotional and sexual intimacy, and feel more at home in yourself and your relationships.

​

I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating communication struggles, emotional disconnection, sexual concerns, and life transitions. I’m especially passionate about sexuality supporting clients in exploring desire, pleasure, sexual functioning, identity, and healing from relational or sexual trauma. My background also includes over two decades of experience in consulting, coaching and leadership development, which informs my relational and collaborative style. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, with inclusivity to LGBTQ+ communities, neurodivergence, and non-traditional relationships.

 

​Drawing from personal therapy experiences, I deeply value the power of reflective work. I’m passionate about demystifying sexuality, pleasure and intimacy and normalizing these conversations in therapy—actively pursuing my sex therapy certification through the Sexual Health Alliance.
