I help couples build deeper connections and enhance eroticism in their lives. I studied to obtain my Certification in Sex Therapy from the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. My work focuses on a number of sexual health and mental health issues, including desire discrepancies, physical concerns that limit one's ability to enjoy preferred sexual activities, erotic recovery after infidelity and/or trauma, establishment of monogamy agreements, kink-affirming care and assistance to co-create polyamorous relationship agreements. I also see clients for more generalist concerns including anxiety, depression, the general stress of living in the world today. Some of the concerns I help couples and poly folks with include: communication difficulties and strategies for interpersonal effectiveness in relationship, including coaching on scripted communication strategies; enhancement of desire, play and eroticism; recovery from infidelity; integration of kink/poly dynamics.

Life can ask a lot of us. Between work, family responsibilities, relationships, and everything in between, it’s easy to put yourself last and lose sight of what you need.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can step back from the noise, gain perspective, and focus on yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, strengthen the tools and relationships that support you, and work toward greater balance, confidence, and well-being.

I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, disconnected, or stuck and want to find a healthier way forward. You may be navigating a difficult relationship, juggling competing demands, adjusting to a life transition, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I was exactly where you are now reaching out for support. You don't have to go through this alone. I have a Master's Degree in Holistic Counseling and I am also a licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years experience working with anxiety, depression, loss and trauma. Therapy helped me to understand myself and cope with my situation. It also led me to my education which, taught me that seeing yourself as a whole gives you more options to choose from when things go wrong. By combining the two I can better support what you most need so you can move forward with purpose and see that there is life beyond coping.

Therapy can help if... You are an adult or teen struggling with life challenges, difficulty managing emotions, behaviors or negative thoughts, lacking support or have a dysfunctional family or relationship. You are a mom or a dad experiencing depression or anxiety during pregnancy or after your child's birth.

You are feeling so overwhelmed and in pain that you can't see a way through and are considering suicide. Deciding to try therapy can be a life changing decision. Making a commitment to doing the work of therapy with the guidance and support of a therapist can lead to amazing results.

If I can help, let me know!

Life moves fast, and it is so easy to wake up and realize you are running on everyone else's schedule instead of your own. Do you ever feel completely scattered, wondering what happened to the vibrant person you used to be? I get it. Navigating the beautiful, messy chaos of a growing family and the relentless pressure to "juggle it all" is no joke. That exact season of life is what drove me to dive headfirst into specialized training in women's mental health. As a licensed counselor since 2017 holding a diagnostic license, I am fiercely passionate about being the anchor—and the support system—I wish I’d had. Whether you're navigating motherhood, identity shifts, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to help you step back into your power and find your footing again.
