I work with individuals/couples on relationship and sexual issues. Sexual and emotional satisfaction is nearly inseparable for both men and women! The defensiveness that damages relationships is often the same behavior that controls vulnerability and intimacy in the bedroom. Simple awareness of learned beliefs or unhelpful fears can create the space a healthy couple needs to heal. Sex and emotional connection shouldn't wait on the backburner until life gives us a break - emotional and sexual expression should mirror life! If that sounds challenging, remember, I don't suggest anyone to do anything they do not want to do!

Over the next few months, I will complete my dissertation as the last requirement for my doctoral degree in psychology.

The goal for each client is to develop an achievable course of action that leads to effectively managing and reducing their distress.

What does it mean to "take care of your mental health?" It's easier to tell when you aren't taking care of it: chronic stress, exhaustion, worry, and panic are all signs your mental health is suffering. If untreated, you could start having nightmares, poor health, trouble in your relationships, and difficulty staying on top of work or school. There are many things that can lead to mental health struggles, like a too-busy schedule, a chronic illness or someone else's troubles, a major life transition, or a death of someone close to you. Or, it could seem to come out of the blue, caused by nothing at all.

My goal is to help you understand how these experiences have influenced you and help you start living the life you want.

As a therapist, I believe that it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support during difficult times and consider it a privilege to help people along their journey. For me, the most important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist, and I work to cultivate a nurturing and supportive therapeutic environment. Everyone wants to feel heard and understood and providing that is the basis of our work together.

Mental health plays a vital role in our quality of life and addressing our emotional well being often takes a back seat to the many demands of life. Therapy can be transformative; a vital tool. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to address anxiety, depression, adjustment issues and various forms of grief. My background is largely in healthcare with emphasis on mental health and navigating illness. I have specific insight into the particular stressors of those working in healthcare/helping professions and other emotionally demanding jobs. My additional specialties lie in women's issues, geriatrics, caregiver fatigue and LGBTQ+

I specialize in working with young women, anxiety disorders, adult children of parents with mental illness, and/or helping professionals who may be struggling with wellbeing or burnout - I find there are often overlaps in all of these. My primary goal in therapy is to provide a safe space where you feel you can be open and curious - our work starts there. My therapy approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic. My greatest focus will be on helping you develop a deeper awareness of and compassion for yourself, so you can feel more empowered to make the choices in your life that feel aligned with your values, identity, and purpose.
