As you may be able to tell by our name, the focus here is on love

I welcome clients and relationships that consider themselves to be different, or alternative, or “non-traditional.”

I understand what it’s like to live your life originally, and to love authentically, and I pride myself in creating an inclusive and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where your uniqueness is your biggest strength.

I practice primarily from an emotionally-focused perspective where we aim to understand our innermost vulnerable emotions, and the patterns we fall into based on our outward expression of those emotions.

Psychotherapy Services

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, we work on the love you feel and show for yourself.

I aim to provide a warm and deeply empathetic home base for you to learn and grow from, and ultimately accomplish your goals.

Whether you’re here to work on symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress; or dealing with issues related to your identity, or your future, my focus is to be that safe haven in your life that you can rely on for professional help.

During our very first session, I will ask questions to help me determine exactly what you are looking for in a therapist. I am trained in many types of psychotherapy and will adapt my therapeutic style to meet your unique needs and preferences.

Relationship Therapy

If the main issues in your life are related to your relationships, you are likely a better fit for relationship or family therapy.

In relationship therapy, the focus remains on love, that is, the emotional bond that connects partners and spouses.

We will explore in depth how both, or all, partners experience that love internally, and how they express that love to one another.

Relationship therapy is a deeply vulnerable process which I take very seriously. I consider it my life’s work, my ministry, to support others in rebuilding, maintaining, and strengthening their emotional bonds with their loved ones.

Relationship therapy, particularly emotionally-focused therapy, is the best and most effective way to do that.

I specialize in providing relationship therapy to lesbian, gay, transamorous, polyamorous, and otherwise queer relationships.

Family Systems Therapy

Similarly, family therapy, or family systems therapy, works with all members of a family system.

Our family systems are made up of the people that we love, or those we meaningfully share our lives with.

That could mean parents and children, co-parents, siblings, blended families, chosen families, those you live with, or do business with. You don’t have to be biologically related to benefit from family systems therapy.

Sometimes life together gets difficult and we need help with our family systems, even the ones we wouldn’t typically think to go to therapy with.

If you love them, live with them, or run a business with them, and you’re stuck in a cycle of dysfunction, it’s worth seeking professional help to instead develop a healthy and productive way of spending life together.

LGBTQ-Affirmative Therapy

I am very proud to be certified in LGBTQ Mental Health and Human Services, and I specialize in providing affirmative care to LGBTQ clients, including lesbian, gay, transamorous, polyamorous, and otherwise queer relationships.

Gender-Affirming Care Evaluations and Letters

In addition to this certification, I have extensive, real-world experience providing direct care to transgender, non-binary, and intersex clients in behavioral health, medical social work, and transgender health program settings.

I have deep understanding and empathy for transgender, non-binary, and intersex lived experiences. Unfortunately, our current society has a lot of room for improvement in this respect. But, I aim to be a bright spot in these dark times.

Therefore, I proudly provide mental health evaluations and letters to trans clients in California via telehealth to support your journey through gender-affirming care (HRT, surgeries, name/gender change, etc.). 

$125 / hour

Hourly rate applies to direct services (live telehealth sessions) and indirect services (assessments, reports, letters).

In general, gender-affirming care evaluations consist of one, one-hour telehealrh session and one hour of indirect service.

Expedited scheduling and letter delivery available.
