My Approach

As a Marriage and Family Therapist and AAMFT-Approved Supervisor, I bring extensive clinical expertise to my work with individuals, couples, and relational systems. My approach is holistic, integrative, trauma-informed, and rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection. I understand that symptoms rarely exist in isolation — our emotional struggles are shaped by attachment wounds, family dynamics, culture, identity, trauma, sexuality, and the stories we carry about ourselves. Therapy will never be about “fixing” you; it is about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been silenced, protected, wounded, or disconnected.

I am certified in EMDR and have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), mindfulness-based approaches, and sex therapy. I skillfully integrates these modalities to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs rather than forcing clients into a one-size-fits-all model. Whether working through trauma, anxiety, relationship conflict, betrayal, identity exploration, intimacy struggles, or long-standing emotional pain, I help clients move beyond insight alone and into meaningful transformation.

I am especially passionate about creating affirming, nonjudgmental spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, as well as clients within kink, BDSM, fetish, consensual non-monogamy, and alternative relationship communities. I fully understand the harm that can come from being misunderstood, pathologized, or forced to educate your therapist. My work is rooted in cultural humility, sex positivity, and respect for the many ways people experience love, intimacy, gender, sexuality, and connection.

Clients often describe me as approachable, authentic, deeply intuitive, and refreshingly real. I believe honesty is an act of care. While I offers warmth, empathy, and unwavering support, I am also not afraid to challenge clients when needed — especially when fear, avoidance, self-protection, or old narratives begin running the show. I will compassionately call you out on your patterns, because growth requires more than comfort; it requires accountability, vulnerability, and willingness.
