What I like most about counseling is having the opportunity to meet and work with people of all ages and backgrounds and to be with them during some of their most challenging times in life. I feel honored to be able to help and support my clients, so they can move forward and have the quality of life they want and deserve.

Most of my clients would identify as one or some of the following: people pleaser, high-achiever, highly-anxious, perfectionist, over-thinker. If this describes you, I’d love to help. My approach focuses on tuning into your innermost thoughts & feelings and your past to help you 1) understand yourself on a newer & deeper level 2) detangle & clarify your experiences, 3) change the way you respond to difficult circumstances, and 4) resolve long standing issues that sabotage your life & relationships. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I treat a myriad of sexual concerns (erectile dysfunction, performance anxiety, pain, low desire etc.)

As a therapist, I focus on highlighting and utilizing clients’ existing strengths to address a range of mental health concerns, including adjustment disorders, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, early adulthood phase of life, and parenting. My goal is to help clients explore how early experiences may influence present-day thought, behavior, and relationship patterns and to develop the tools to make positive changes that align with their values.

I offer extensive counseling services to individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationships and family conflicts. These presenting issues may include marriage and/or relationships, parenting, general life decisions, work conflict, self-identity, self-esteem, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, sexuality and sex addictions. I work with clients to discover the root of the problem, construct a treatment plan and guide their growth through various counseling methods in our work together.

I hope to be a warm and nonjudgemental space for you to work on whatever brought you to therapy. I will go at the client's pace and let them lead the session. For in person sessions I enjoy playing cards or doing craft projects while we talk. I find that if the client is busy with their hands they are more comfortable opening up. I work with clients on distress tolerance, life transitions, women's issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, mood disorders, emotion regulation, improving communications and relationships, depression, and anxiety.

Many people ask me, "Why would I want to feel my feelings?” Whether you are constantly staring at a screen, filling every space on your calendar to avoid being alone with your thoughts, putting on a new mask for every person you encounter, or using alcohol as "social lubricant" to quiet the noise, many of us have mastered the art of avoidance. Some of us neatly tuck our feelings away, trading our emotions for a nicely organized life with lots of explanations and justifications, while others stuff the jumbled up mess under the bed.

Therapy is effective when the therapist is guiding the client down a path that the therapist has already successfully completed. My heightened emotional sensitivity to myself and the world surrounding me led me on a journey of self-discovery where I learned to resolve my personal losses and access my power and intuition. Through the lessons of my resolved cycles of suffering, I have found consistent access to my emotional maturity and intuitive wisdom: Giving me the gift of living in the flow of life. Once I became grounded in the depth & flow of my being, I felt called to guide others who are on a similar journey.

When we struggle with stress, anxiety, and trauma, it can interfere with our relationships and ability to function. I work with adults to work through these difficulties in a way that supports their needs. My goal is to provide a welcoming space where people feel safe and heard, and that is inclusive and intersectional—a space that welcomes folks with a variety of identities, experiences, and perspectives, whether that is as an individual or within the context of their relationships.
