this is the yes, I am too much™ revolution
Therapy is about to look a whole lot different.
I want to start by saying I am not your typical therapist.
If you are craving someone who will blank stare at you while wearing pearls and a cardigan and ask you how that makes you feel, I am probably not the gal for you.
While I am backed by four degrees in psychology, brain science and human behavior, I have a far from traditional career. I started as a sexual assault crisis counselor in a New York City emergency room, taught sex education at Planned Parenthood and was a therapist inside of solitary confinement at Rikers Island.
I have also held clinical research roles at New York University, John Jay College, Mt. Sinai and wrote my Master's thesis with the FBI.
My career has been impressive and I am proud as hell of everything I have done, seen, learned and built.
But the thing that is going to decide if you want me to be your therapist or not, probably has nothing to do with my resume.
I am the therapist women find when they are ready to go way deeper than emotional regulation, trauma healing and coping skills. I talk about sex. I ask about money. I will look you in your eyes and lovingly tell you that you are doing it again. I will tell you a little bit about my life sometimes. I will very likely show you my cat.
But my work will be nonetheless as real, and even more transformative because you will finally get the right answers when you are finally asked the right questions.

MY THERAPY SPECIALTIES ARE:
Sex & Intimacy
I provide sex therapy for women who are done carrying shame, done faking it, and ready to find freedom in their bodies, in their pleasure, in their ability to enjoy sexual and intimate relationships.
Whether you are untangling religious conditioning, dropping out of purity culture, navigating desire inside a long term relationship, healing after trauma, or just craving a deeper connection with your sensual self, I am here for all of it.
In our sessions, there is nothing that is off the table. We get into the fantasies you have been swallowing, the porn you have been hiding, the orgasms you have been missing and reprogram your brain to drop the shame, guilt and fear in favor of passion, confidence and exploration.
We bring pleasure, desire, sovereignty, and power back online, and we build a relationship with your sensual and erotic side.
Trauma
The women I work with in trauma therapy are not always the women you would expect. What they are carrying does not always have one name, one moment, or one clean origin story.
Trauma does not live in your mind alone. It lives in your breath, your body, your relationships, your silence, your hypervigilance, and the way you constantly brace for impact.
Real trauma work is not about revisiting the past so you can live in it again. It is about going back to retrieve the parts of yourself that got lost in it, and bringing them home.
And teaching your body, slowly and compassionately, that it is allowed to rest, feel, surrender and receive.
Anxiety
Most therapy is going to tell you the same things about anxiety. It will tell you to breathe, to ground yourself, to name five things you can see, to drink more water, and to go for a walk.
Your anxiety is the very logical end result of a lifetime of being rewarded for performing, preempting, and pleasing, and then being told to relax.
In our sessions we get into why your brain learned to scan for danger, why rest feels like something you have to earn, and why it has become so hard for you to even know what you want anymore.
With clinical skill and compassionate curiosity, we get to the root of what has been keeping you up at night, so we can kick the skeletons out for good.
We quiet the noise in your head and bring clear thinking and grounded confidence and peace in your mind back in the spotlight.
