Clinical and Consulting Psychologist, offering in-person and telehealth care. 20+ years experience with individuals and couples/relationship partners.

Human beings have great capacity for growth and change. Having a supportive, collaborative guide through the process is helpful and meaningful. My role is to help clients find their strengths and apply them to the areas in which they struggle. In addition to listed focus areas, I specialize in alternative relationships (including multi-partner/poly and kink) queer communities, sexual health, orientation, gender and identity issues. Send me a message and let's see if we're a good fit!
