People often find my practice looking for a therapy space where they don’t need to explain themselves or educate their therapist on their identities or experiences. They want a therapist who is going to gently challenge them to look deeply at themselves while being valued, seen, and supported. My practice provides specialized treatment of sexuality concerns, and support for LGBTQIA+ communities and people experiencing fertility challenges.
Specialties
Using a warm, positive approach, I help clients develop a stronger sense of themselves and harness the strengths already inside of us.
Motivational interviewing is a powerful technique that helps people clarify what they want and how to make changes in their lives.
CBT is an evidence-based technique that shows amazing results in helping manage depression, anxiety, and other issues that often bring people to therapy.
Specialties
Whether you are looking to come to therapy to explore an aspect of gender or sexuality, or you just want to work with a therapist who you don't need to educate about who you are, working with a therapist experienced in LGBTQIA+ identities can help you feel safe and accepted on your therapy journey. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ people and those living with HIV, and can provide supportive and culturally competent therapy around these issues.
I am an AASECT-certified sex therapist and have specialized training is addressing sexual concerns such as low desire, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, compulsive sexual behaviors, and unwanted desires. I strive to make discussing sensitive issues comfortable and help work with you to create a plan for therapy that works towards your goals.
Experiencing fertility challenges can be an incredibly painful and isolating experience. Working with a therapist that "gets it" can help you feel supported through medical appointments, painful conversations with family and friends, and all the ups and downs on your journey to parenthood. I completed training through the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and am a Certified Sex Therapist. I provide kind, supportive care for those struggling with fertility challenges.
Anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unable to sleep, focus, and be present for our lives. I provide evidence-based, action-oriented treatment for anxiety disorders. Together we will work to identify the source of the anxiety and develop a treatment plan that will retrain your body and mind to better be able to cope with stress.
Depression can be situational or it can be a lifelong struggle. I will work with you to find hope, build energy, and reconnect with your life. My approach to depression treatment is tailored to each individual.
