Biographical Info
I am a mother, a healer, an ally, a CrossFitter, Jewish-American, CIS-gendered, heterosexual, queer allied, sex positive woman. I am exposed to both privilege and marginalization and although I do not have shared experiences with all intersectionalities, I offer an unconditional curiosity that allows for a safe and transformative space.

This my second career and has always been my path. I worked in \'Corporate America\' for fifteen years and when I finally became a therapist it was clear I was living in my truest form of authentic self. My life shifted from one of heaviness and stress to one of lightness and fulfillment. Living with intent allows me to help others find their own serenity. My lived experience is as a mother, a partner, a career-pivoter, and a trauma survivor. This has connected me to a deep sense of healing and growth through yoga, a mindfulness and meditation practice, psychotherapy, and other non-traditional healing modalities.

As a mother to neurodivergent children, I have a unique perspective and skillset around supporting parents of both neuro-atypical and neurotypical kids. Additionally, my interest in wellness and fitness led me to become a Certified CrossFit Trainer and an Access Bars Practitioner.

I am a relationship therapist with a special interest in ENM and Polyamory and the tension and fears that create a system of masking for societal acceptance. I believe that we are all wired to connect with others and have a core desire to be fully seen and fully loved. Being in a loving and compassionate relationship with self and others is where the power for profound growth begins. I see myself as your flashlight on the journey of profound change.
