About

Individual therapy provides an open space to fully process what is going on for you without judgment. It is the only space where you are centered and focus completely on your own needs. The people I have had the pleasure to work with are often in a transitional period of their life and feel stuck working through it on their own. Sometimes it is their first time in therapy and other folks have been before and find themselves in a similarly difficult time where old patterns popped back up. Other people benefit from ongoing therapeutic for longer periods in their life. I am a flexible clinician who will meet you where you are at and help you work towards your future goals. Not all folks fit a significant mental health disorder, sometimes it is just multiple life changes at once, a brief difficulty with self-esteem, or bigger emotions than you are used to. People I have worked with may fit criteria for the following issues: depression, anxiety, bipolar, chronic illness, sexual dysfunctions (including painful sex, low desire, erectile disorder, achieving orgasm too quickly, or not at all, STI diagnoses, sexual identity and/or orientation exploration, difficulty communicating with partners, partners who have mental health disorders, self esteem, and body image challenges.

I work well with people who tend to value thinking over feeling but recognize this isn't helpful for them across their lives. I am passionate about helping people recognize their various feelings designed to help people survive and learn to manage them in authentic and deeper ways. I also am a good fit for folks who want to do homework in between our conversations to help them see the benefits in their daily lives. I am also good at slowing down with the people who are lacking the motivation to do homework and need more to work up towards active pursuit of their goals.
