PRE-LICENSED MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST
We all need to feel loved and accepted by others, just as we need to feel confident about who we are at our core. What do we do when these needs feel at odds with one another? What do we do when we’re told stories about ourselves that don’t seem quite right? Whether you’re grappling with inner shame, questions about your identity or are experiencing relationship struggles, I’m here to help guide you towards more balance and peace. I offer a collaborative and compassionate approach that acknowledges the messiness of life, and helps sort through the noise of strong emotions, daily demands, and existential questions.

Life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether stress, relationships, or emotions feel out of balance, I’m here to help you find clarity and connection. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families to address life’s challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, and relational concerns. I focus on fostering open communication and understanding family dynamics to help strengthen connection and create healthier patterns of interaction. With a special interest in sexuality, I provide a supportive, affirming space for clients to explore and navigate these concerns with confidence and comfort.
PRE-LICENSED MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST
My practice focuses on couples and individuals wanting to discuss relational issues, with an emphasis on sex and intimacy. I am open to seeing people at all starting points, desiring improved connection and communication, less conflict, and/or wanting to address sexual issues including mismatched libido, exploration of sexual interests, various types of sexual dysfunction, and taking a good sex life and making it fantastic. I specifically welcome LGBTQIA+, kinky, and non-monogamous clients.
I am open-minded, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. I like to meet you where you are, explore where you want to be, and collaboratively strategize ways to get you there. As an MFT in training I bring a relational/systemic lens to the work we do, always looking for the ways relationship systems can function better for the individuals inside them.

My approach to therapy is also deeply connected to my identities and experiences as a queer and trans person, a feminist, and a Buddhist Jew. Though you’re currently experiencing me as just a photo on a website, I want all of my future clients to know that I’m just as human as you are. I am keenly aware of the inherent freedoms and limitations of being a human being. I know firsthand that living is a constant balancing act between having ultimate decision making power and needing to prioritize how we use our time and energy. All of my work in the therapy room will be about attending to, and sometimes simply commiserating about, the tension between these facets of life.

If you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to pretend or perform, you’ve landed in the right place. I’m a therapist-in-training, barista, poet, and lifelong people-watcher who’s endlessly curious about what makes us feel connected, safe, and seen. I care deeply about body liberation, relational healing, and helping folks unlearn the stories that were never really theirs to begin with. Whether you’re sorting through the weight of long-held beliefs, craving more ease in your relationships, or just trying to make sense of it all — I’m here for the messy, the tender, and everything in between.
