I’m a queer, sex‑positive therapist who centers LGBTQIA+ folks, women, nonbinary and trans people in individual and relationship therapy. I’m a good fit if you’re unpacking sexual shame, navigating pelvic pain or chronic illness and sex, exploring your desire or orientation, or trying to make polyamory feel less chaotic and more secure. Together we’ll notice how culture, trauma, and power have shaped your story and build more self‑compassion, choice, and pleasure in how you relate to your body and the people you love. My goal is to offer a brave, playful space where you can be fully yourself and practice new ways of relating.

Let's be honest- we all struggle. Sharing openly and honestly about our struggles is powerful. Life's difficulties take many forms but often our tendency is to go it alone, to hide it, to wait for it to go away. Counseling is seizing an opportunity to move towards greater fulfillment, whether that is for an important relationship, helping your child/family, resolving problems from the past that replay themselves in your today or coping with difficult life circumstances and illnesses. Counseling is a worthwhile investment in a valuable you; life is too short to do otherwise.

I am passionate about and specialize in helping individuals and couples, to navigate life’s most difficult encounters in today’s trying times. There is a common misperception that men who express their feelings or emotions are labeled as “weak” and “non-masculine.” Statistics show that men died by suicide 3.8 times more than women in 2023 (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.) All too often, toxic masculinity manifests into the suppression of feelings, including anger, leading to the perpetration of addiction and violence. It is my primary goal to help my clients work through these uncomfortable feelings.
