One-on-One Therapy & Couples Therapy

Choosing to work with a therapist is deeply personal, no matter what stage in life you’re in. My therapy clients, whether they’re in high school or several decades into their adult lives, are very important to me and I always strive to create a safe space to explore their inner world without shame or judgement. But rather, with curiosity and understanding. Therapy is a way to  understand why we developed certain maladaptive behaviors and to bring grace and kindness to ourselves when we are stuck in some area of our lives. In my practice, I mainly specialize in helping trans and nonbinary teens and young adults.

My top specialties are: Life Transitions, Anxiety, Gender Identity, but my expertise expands far beyond these areas of life.

Therapy Modalities

I use a variety of therapy techniques depending on who I am working with. While I primarily work from a psychodynamic and relational perspective, I may weave in elements from CBT, DBT and/or somatic therapy. So, not only are we talking through certain issues a client is experiencing, but also locating where those emotions live in the body and communicating about them in order to heal. Breath work and other techniques for managing anxiety are a big part of my practice.

Together, we focus on the areas of life where clients feel stuck—whether in relationships, school, work, or identity. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, using a variety of therapy techniques to meet each person where they are.

For all clients, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see how we can work together. 

Therapy For Teens and Young Adults

When we work together, I will also be working with parents in a limited capacity that looks a little different from person to person. As is with adult clients, all therapy sessions are confidential unless my teen client gives express permission to me sharing certain information with their parent or caregiver. For some young people, I will need to be in touch with the parents more often than others, and that is determined by each teen client’s needs. That said, there are certain things I cannot keep to myself for safety reasons, including if the client is thinking about hurting themselves, if someone is hurting them, or if they're going to hurt someone else. Other issues will be addressed on a case-by-case basis and will be decided with the client’s knowledge and consent.

For teens and young adults, therapy can support: 

  • Managing anxiety, depression, and stress 

  • Exploring gender identity, sexuality, and self-expression 

  • Navigating peer and family relationships 

  • Building resilience and confidence for adulthood 

Therapy Adults and Couples

I have a handful of adult clients and couples who I love working with. These include but are not limited to new parents, students who recently graduated from high school or college, young adults managing their lives for the first time on their own, adults with difficult bosses,  relationship issues, negotiating being a new parent and so on. 

For adults, therapy can include: 

  • Exploring intimacy, desire, and sexuality in affirming, shame-free ways 

  • Healing from relational or sexual trauma 

  • Strengthening communication and relationships 

  • Reconnecting with pleasure and authenticity in daily life 

  • Moving through transitions such as career changes, parenthood, divorce, or loss 

  • Building resilience to manage anxiety, depression, and stress 

For people in a couple, therapy offers a supportive space to: 

  • Strengthen communication and rebuild trust 

  • Navigate conflict with compassion 

  • Explore intimacy and sexual health together 

  • Foster deeper emotional and physical connection
