First and foremost, I am a psychotherapist helping people to understand and accept themselves with grace and compassion. My approach to therapy is holistic, taking into consideration the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and relational well-being. I help people with long-standing and complex issues related to sex and intimacy. I am dedicated to helping clients resolve these issues and experience new ways of relating, develop satisfying relationships, and explore pleasure. I celebrate the unique identities, desires, and relationship structures of each individual. I specialize in working with gender, sexual, and relationship diversity. I am LGBTQIA+/Kink/ENM/GNC and Sex Worker informed and affirming.

I am also the Co-Founder, Lead Therapist, and Clinical Director of the Northwest Institute for Psychotherapy and Sexuality. We established this practice to provide inclusive and effective therapy by highly trained therapists. We believe that everyone is entitled to quality healthcare that supports expression of individuality. 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I provide psychotherapy services in Oregon, Washington, and New York. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2014 with a Master’s in Social Work and began practicing the same year. I have advanced training in Emotion Focused Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Practice and Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Relational Therapy and Sex Therapy. I hold a certificate in Sex Therapy and Sexual Education from the University of Michigan and I am a member of AASECT – the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.
