Introduction

Human beings are complex. Part of us wants to make a change in our life, while another part holds on tightly to the way things are. We have parts that are harsh and critical, parts that are gentle and kind. Mature parts that show up like a boss, and childlike parts that just want someone else to take care of things for once. If you're feeling pulled in multiple directions by different parts of yourself, and having trouble figuring out how to fit all the pieces together, I'd love to be the therapist to support you on your journey. As a therapist, I work primarily with individuals and couples navigating concerns around relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, and self worth. Many of my clients are struggling with depression or anxiety, or dealing with concerns around self worth and body image. I also have extensive experience working with survivor of sexual abuse. I use a feminist lens in my work, meaning that I understand our mental health in the context of the oppressive systems and social constructs that impact us, like gender, race, and sexual orientation. The majority of my clients are women, women of color, and/or members of the LGBTQ+ community. I especially welcome queer, polyamorous, and kinky individuals and couples to reach out.
