Individual Therapy
Life is hard enough without having to worry if your therapist is the right fit. My number one priority is to provide a space where you feel comfortable and safe to explore, while also providing concrete skills and resources within a customized plan based on goals we set together.
Couples Counseling
Even the healthiest intimate relationships sometimes need guidance. Couples counseling offers opportunities to strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and foster a deeper connection between partners. Let me support you in building a harmonious relationship. Divorce discernment, therapeutic separation and uncoupling coaching available. Couples of any sexual orientation exploring monogamy, ENM and polyamory are all welcome!
Betrayal Trauma & Compulsive Sexual Behavior Recovery
You are not alone. Infidelity and compulsive sexual behaviors are increasingly more common than one might think.
How do you move forward when the person who you trusted the most betrays you? How do you know if you have a sex/love/porn addiction?
My tailored, proprietary protocols, blending somatic awareness and CBT/DBT, has been highly effective in helping individuals and couples move through all stages of crisis/compulsivity
towards healing and recovery.
Sexual Health Counseling & Body Empowerment
Isn't it time you stop
hating your body?
Is there really a way to embrace its constant changes?
Can you really stop living
'from the neck up?"
YES YES YES
And for my peri and post menopausal friends:
Its not you, its your hormones!!
Specializing in open, non-judgemental exploration of how to become a truly embodied woman.
YOUR PLEASURE MATTERS!
Designed to enhance intimacy with yourself and others.
"The Alchemy of Becoming"
What the heck does that mean?
The alchemist's motto, solve et coagula means "to dissolve and coagulate." According to this principle, a substance must be broken down before it can be built up into something new.
I believe that therapy is an emotional alchemical process of undoing, investigating, integrating and, ultimately, becoming whole.
What is happening to us is also potentially happening for us.
Our struggles (internal and external) can often make us
forget that we get to be human.
I want to help you remember the joy of living.
As your therapist, I am dedicated to helping you alchemize your challenges, pains and disappointments,
into the person you most want to become,
creating the life you most want to live.
Our therapeutic relationship focuses on you and your needs.
I deeply believe in the sanctity and integrity of this work, built on empathy, respect, and collaboration.
My role is to provide expertise and support so that you can
increase self-awareness,
heal unresolved hurts,
change behavioral patterns,
create new neuropathways,
improve interpersonal relationships
and meet your personal growth goals.
