My style is engaged, compassionate, and collaborative. I am active in the room—asking questions, teaching skills, helping you practice them in session, and coaching you in mindfulness exercises. Therapy can involve emotionally heavy lifting, and yet it can also be playful and fun, just like your relationships. Many of us weren’t taught effective communication and relationship skills, and you can’t do what you were never taught, There’s no shame in coming to therapy to learn and practice these skills. 
​
I work to make sure client strengths and unique identities are honored, supporting the creation of greater confidence in each person and helping you achieve deeper connections in your relationships. The foundation of our work focuses on compassion, communication, and understanding how you see yourself so you can have a healthier relationship with yourself and those around you.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist (CST), I am uniquely able to understand the complex interplay between all areas of your life. Beyond this foundational work, we will focus on your unique goals. 
​
While I take mental health and our work very seriously, I also like to bring a sense of playfulness to the space. I’m going to work as hard as you will. I’m empathetic and compassionate, and I’ll hold the space so you can do it for yourself.
