I provide high quality, confidential telehealth therapy services to support YOU. I use a holistic, healing centered approach to support you during whatever phase of life you are in. I offer a safe and truthful space for you to explore your inner landscape and discover who you are. Trained as a Clinical Sexologist, I can also help with sexuality issues, inlcuding sexual abuse, sexual trauma, sexual identity, LBGTQIA+ issues, and more. A therapeutic relationship is never sexual, but it is a partnership. I work with you to set and achieve your therapeutic goals.

Life experiences and circumstances shape us. They impact the way we see and relate to ourselves, others and the world in general. This impact, however, is not always positive or helpful. In fact, sometimes it leads to some pretty significant suffering. Do you criticize yourself for the choices you made, or didn’t make in the past, and feel a sense of guilt or shame as a result? Have you become so distrustful or angry, that you find yourself in constant fear, or conflict with those that you love the most? Do you believe that things will never change, and that you are doomed to feel pain forever? I can help you.

The decision to pursue counseling requires a great deal of courage and personal commitment to growth and success. Facing our fears, struggling against negative emotions and behaviors, and sharing our story with others can be difficult and daunting tasks for many people. However, I believe that overcoming our experiences of trauma and past disappointments is the surest way to foster future positive connections and to lead a rich, full life. My goal is to help clients overcome current barriers to happiness and achieve authenticity and vitality in their day-to-day lives. I strive to help clients recharge and revitalize.

Lately, you can barely get out of bed and muster up the energy to go about your basic tasks. You still haven't fully recovered from the past and now your current life is bringing unbelievable stress. Honestly, anxiety and depression are kicking your butt - again! Your daily responsibilities, job, and relationships are suffering. Friends are distant and days go by where you barely talk to anyone. Minor frustrations send you into an irrational rage where you want to scream and cry at the same time. Your past pain and current stressors are threatening to hold you as a prisoner. It's a lonely place and it feels like there's no way out.

Even therapists need therapy. I often tell my clients that because there are times in life when we all could use a little help working through the trials and tribulations. While life can be beautiful, it can also be painful and overwhelming. When we struggle to overcome the pain, it may be time to seek out professional help through therapy. While there are many excellent therapists out there, it can be a daunting process and I'm happy to talk with you to see if I'd be a good fit for your needs. Together, you and I will explore your struggles and concerns as well as develop tools to get you back to the life you want to live.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, emotional space where you will feel comfortable, relaxed and know that you are being heard. I want you to be able to express yourself freely without any fear of judgement. Healing takes place when you are able to be open, honest and vulnerable. Throughout my practice, it has been an honor to help facilitate extraordinary transformation in the lives of my clients. Believe me when I say that, “Anything is possible,” as I have witnessed my clients overcome trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and hardcore drug addiction.

***I AM accepting new clients for Telehealth- evenings and weekends are available*** Let’s face it- navigating this world can be challenging, but we can choose to perceive our hardships as blessings in disguise. As a counselor with long-term recovery, I believe YOU are very powerful and capable of creating great changes in your life. You can learn and evolve from the challenges you face and free yourself from the people, places and things that are detrimental to your personal growth.

How much time have you spent thinking: "I am tired of feeling this way" "is this really my life?" "how did I get to this place?"? Too much? What if I told you that you don't have to wake up feeling hopeless, lost, unworthy, or like you don't belong. You have the power to take control of your life and face battles with strength and courage. Our history is powerful and it shapes us in wanted and unwanted ways. It creates patterns and beliefs that can create a world rid of joy, purpose, love, peace, and connection.

I enjoy working with people who are hesitant about the counseling process, strongly desire change, and/or have a deep need to be seen and heard. I have experience working with ages 11 through 80. I enjoy helping grade school students organize and strategize for a better school experience. I enjoy the process of self-discovery and differentiation that young adults go through in their 18-30s. The rediscovery of identity when all your roles change because of marriage, divorce, death, employment, and retirement.

Choosing a healthcare provider is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want a psychologist who is caring, knowledgable and accessible. Someone willing to take the time to go over all your options and treat you with honor and respect. I have profound respect for the impact suffering has on one's life and am committed to work with you to find relief and enhance the quality of your life.

Accepting new clients! I work with young people to help them overcome the many challenges they are facing in this day and age. Many of my clients are middle school through college-aged young people who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relational issues to name a few. I also assist young athletes and performers to improve their mental health and performance. I use a proven model, The Spire of Performance, to guide my work. I offer free consultations which provide you an opportunity to get to know me in and learn more about the model.

I believe; gaining insight and understanding, feeling more hopeful, knowing someone is there to listen, and being in a safe and non-judgmental environment, are just some of the important keys to therapy. One of the most difficult and courageous things someone can do is to walk into a clinician's office and ask for help. Sometimes people may hesitate to seek help because they feel alone in their pain or that no one will understand them. I work with clients ages two and older, from diverse cultural groups, and foster an atmosphere of understanding across these various age and cultural groups.

I believe in using a strengths-based approach to help empower clients to achieve their goals and make significant, positive changes in their lives. I provide a warm, caring environment for clients to explore, clarify, and resolve their issues. You will receive support, feedback, and suggestions from me as you go through this process. I have an eclectic style in which I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral techniques, solution focused, systems theory, and psychodynamic approaches, depending on my clients' needs.

I provide individual therapy and creative coaching, discovering the best approach with you to partner and align with your values, so you achieve your goals in living a more balanced and meaningful life at home, at school, with friends, at work, and in your community.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing difficulties and challenges adjusting to new situations. I am an LGBTQ ally and kink friendly.
