Imagine yourself after our work together: happier, more confident, and empowered to live a thrilling and fulfilling life. Picture a self-assured you, skilled at expressing your needs and boundaries. This version of you has amazing relationships with yourself and others, and is living authentically and fully. Whether working individually or as a couple, we’ll tackle tough issues with reflection exercises and practical steps aimed to enhance your assertiveness, deepen your connection with your partner, and overcome people-pleasing and perfectionism.

Our sessions are a judgment-free space to embrace your whole, wonderful self. I empower women, nonbinary, and queer folk—especially those who are kinky, poly, sexually adventurous, sex workers, or just proudly weird like me! Whether you're a glitter Barbie or a black cat who loves Halloween and campy movies (or both), I celebrate your uniqueness.

If you're a couple looking to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your bond, or an individual exploring your identity, overcoming self-doubt, or embarking on new life adventures, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Contact me today to schedule a session or free consultation and start moving towards a life you're excited about.

Relationships are the most important factor in our happiness, so it's worth it to invest in them. Many of us did not grow up with role models for healthy relationships with ourselves & others. Let's get to the root of why you get stuck in the same old patterns to help you build a thrilling & fulfilling life. I also teach you skills to assert yourself, communicate effectively & resolve conflict.

I use emotion-focused therapy (EFT), the "gold standard" of relationship-focused therapy. EFT helps us figure out why we react the ways we do in difficult moments, gain better control over our responses, and use conflict as an opportunity to grow closer, not apart. I've helped individuals, couples & families overcome conflict, grow closer, & bring back joy using EFT tools.
