Services

You deserve to be seen, heard, and understood
Healing is hard and a journey you don't have to take alone. By embracing therapy you will be provided a space to be cared for as I join you in the explorative and at times, difficult process of personal healing and growth. The supportive experience of this therapeutic process can enhance your relationship with yourself and others.
Theories and attitudes
The way I approach treating clients and conceptualizing their experiences is with the integration of particular theories and beliefs. The psychodynamic therapy I practice is grounded in attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and a commitment to sex positive therapy.
