We strive to be a leading force in the therapeutic process by practicing our “4 C’s”: being CARING, COMPETENT, CLIENT CENTERED and, COLLABORATIVE! We are committed to fighting the stigma that seeking therapy is something to be ashamed of. We believe that engaging in the therapeutic process should be as celebrated as engaging in physical fitness and as vital as going to the doctor. We work to assist our clients in discovering that through open and honest dialogue, we can find clarity, a sense of peace and individual inner radiance.

My goal is to create a space where meaning and purpose in life are connected to your well-being. I believe that systems can impact our well-being. Interacting with and negotiating racist, sexist, and heterocentric systems can impact our sense of safety and well-being. My clients talk about these historical and present day systems. Throughout my career, I have helped diverse groups of people learn strategies to cope with life stressors. I have worked with people with varying levels of depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD.

My ideal client seeks support to explore emotions, challenges, and goals in a safe, non-judgmental space. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, find inner peace, and achieve personal growth. Together, we'll uncover coping strategies, build resilience, and foster self-understanding, empowering you to navigate life with confidence and self-compassion.

In a world of Snapchat filters, Photoshop, and social media posts of others ‘living their best life,’ it’s far too easy to believe that everyone (but you) has it all together. Do you wonder if you’re the only one who struggles with esteem, image, sex, and relationships? Spoiler alert: you are NOT the only one fighting those battles and you are NOT alone. I have devoted my life to helping others in their worst moments. After spending more than twenty years in public safety, I decided to be helpful in a very different way and began my journey on a new path that includes counseling, activism, and education.

I work with clients in a primarily on-line format. Working this way is effective, convenient, and secure. My practice is oriented to adults and couples in individual and group formats.

I believe in providing a safe place for clients to be heard, accepted, and understood. I seek to help clients develop a language in which to tell their unique story in an environment that promotes healing and growth. When working with the diverse goals of my clients, I utilize a variety of treatment approaches in order to incorporate all aspects of health, including physical, mental, spiritual, and relational wellness. My belief that all people are important and capable of change is what drives my passion for counseling.

People come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, and worn out. My goal is to provide compassionate support to my clients during painful transitions, help them gain clarity, develop coping tools, and improve communication skills. Couples come to me feeling disconnected and resentful. I help partners learn new, effective ways to communicate. I build on couples' strengths to help them find a fun, passionate, and intimate way of living. Parents come to me feeling heartbroken and confused by their interactions with their children. I help parents heal their own childhood wounds so that they can parent in a loving way.

I provide therapy to adults for a range of emotional and behavioral problems, including adjustment to life changes. My approach encourages individuals to pinpoint the patterns which may be causing them distress. We can then work together in a supportive environment as they identify the changes they want to make in order to have an emotionally healthy and rewarding life. I also perform evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults to determine cognitive ability, and emotional/personality issues (for example: learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, depression, anxiety, suitability for Bariatric surgery, etc.).

You are trying to find your way through the labyrinth, and you feel something is holding you back. You look for a safe place, but you don't see it. Something is preventing you from having a healthy relationship and satisfying intimacy. "Why am I here?", you might ask yourself. You and I will work together to identify your challenges and use your strengths to make your world a better place. I offer individual, relationship, and sex therapy to help you get the life, relationships, and pleasure you want. People of all lifestyles, backgrounds, and experiences are very welcome.

There are few things braver than acknowledging when we need help and can no longer do life on our own. As a therapist, I count it my highest privilege to be a part of your story, to come alongside you in the midst of pain, hurt, confusion, loss, or tension, and to help you make sense of it all. I have five key concepts that motivate me as a therapist: story, space, acknowledgement, celebration, and growth. Stories matter. Including yours. And your story isn’t finished yet. Every time we meet, I want you to know and experience that this is your space, a space where you are free and safe to bring any and all of who you are.
