When you’re carrying the weight of depression or the constant hum of anxiety, the last thing you need is a clinical lecture. You need a place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or the pressure to perform. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the heart of the work. Over my 23 years in practice, I’ve focused on creating a space that is first and foremost human, built on a foundation of genuine connection and trust.

I am a queer-identified, sex-positive psychologist experienced in working with a spectrum of sexual orientations, identities, and relationships. I help individuals and couples interested in discussing kink and consensual non-monogamy.

I also specialize in treating OCD (including "Pure O"), specific phobias, social anxiety, and relationship anxiety. My approach combines evidence-based exposure therapy to help reduce symptoms and break patterns of avoidance with deeper exploratory work aimed at understanding the underlying fears, beliefs, and experiences that contribute to anxiety. By addressing both the symptoms and their roots, I help clients create lasting change and greater freedom in their lives.

For individuals with OCD, I offer both Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). If ERP doesn't feel like the right fit for you, or if you're interested in an alternative approach, I-CBT can be an effective treatment that targets the reasoning processes underlying obsessive doubt.

I currently accept insurance for group therapy only and have two OCD-focused groups with openings available.

I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma, eating disorders, and the mind-body connection. I use EMDR and IFS-informed care to support deep healing and recovery. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected from their bodies, or caught in patterns they don’t fully understand. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s underneath, and work toward lasting, meaningful change.
