Couples and Individual Therapy
I offer warm, empowering, and down to earth help. I guide people from relationship conflict, to clarity, connection, and joy. I also offer guidance on sexuality, helping people gain greater awareness, acceptance, and pleasure. Through couples or individual therapy, you can leave behind the same old difficulties, and open to new growth.

I have over 16 years of experience. My approach is up to date with current brain, body, and relationship science on how to create change safely and powerfully. Let’s talk to help you create the kind of relationships and life you want.

You can change the world by healing yourself and your relationships.
Education/Training
Smith College, Stanford University, Sarah Lawrence College

I honestly love this work. Every client and mentor I’ve worked with has made me a wiser, kinder, and more skillful person and therapist. What’s not to love about that?
