I have worked extensively with individuals and couples struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship counseling, and sexual intimacy. My work with couples and individuals around sex and intimacy is grounded in the belief that emotional safety and physical intimacy are deeply connected — you can't talk your way into a better sex life without also addressing how safe, seen, and respected you feel with your partner. I bring a body-neutral, sex-positive, kink-affirming lens to this work, informed by my years of experience helping clients heal their relationship with their own bodies.

What are you like as a therapist?

You want to know what to expect in the style and interventions you will receive in treatment, but your therapist is also a human being. And you deserve to know a bit about them before agreeing to share your inner world. As a therapist, I am passionate about social justice, and believe it is relevant to most conversations related to healing relationships with ourselves, with others, or with our bodies. Together, we will examine how your relationship with yourself, your partner or your body has been influenced by past experiences, societal expectations, and day to day stressors. My theoretical orientation is relational and psychodynamic in nature, with a generous helping of humor and kindness.

On a personal level, I fit into a lot of therapist stereotypes! I enjoy a mental health walk, I love curling up with a good book, and I am a big believer in journaling! Big surprise! I am also a yoga teacher and have two pit bulls (always happy to have our dogs meet each other over zoom) and a garden that I tend to regularly.
