I frequently write letters of support for transgender or gender non-conforming individuals who wish to gain access to hormone replacement therapy or surgeries.

Life is full of challenges that bring both joy and pain. There are times when painful experiences such as loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, transitions, relationships and more can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. When we experience such difficulties, it is necessary to reach out and connect with others who can help us feel heard, empathize with our pain, and help us learn and grow. If you are needing this kind of connection, I can help you discover your inner strength and build resilience for coping with such difficulties.

Life can be hard. It can be painful, difficult, and sometimes feel almost impossible to manage. But life can also be joyful! Our lives can be exciting and fulfilling, and our relationships strong and meaningful! I believe that life is a journey with things to teach us at every point. Difficulty brings with it opportunity for growth if we are open to learning the things it offers to teach us. As a clinician, it is my greatest privilege, to support clients through even a small part of their journey toward greater health, fulfilling relationships, and more meaningful living.

Our typical clients are those with issues of sexual dysfunction. This includes those with issues of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, satisfaction, or out-of-control sexual behavior/addiction. Most of my clients are from a conservative religious background, but this is not a must. We see clients that have a range of personal beliefs and values. We meet regularly with individuals and couples. Meeting as a couple is not a must. Individuals dealing with sexual dysfunction or out-of-control sexual behavior/addiction that are not in a committed relationship are also welcomed in treatment.

I have rich experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I am person-centered and focus on my client’s ability to adapt and develop as a person. I provide a safe environment for them to discover themselves and experiment with new ways of being and work through obstacles to lead fuller, more meaningful lives outside the therapy office.

Too often we carry around pain and distress longer than necessary. This may be the result of addiction, lack of connection, negative self-image, or areas outside of our control. While many of these may simply be part of this wonderful mess we call life, through working together and developing the strengths you already have you CAN find more meaning and fulfillment in spite of these difficulties. No one can guarantee that all of life's problems will cease, but it is possible to find peace in those times and develop satisfying relationships with your loved ones, and ultimately, yourself.

For various reasons life can seem overwhelming, difficult to understand, and disruptive to your life. One might feel a sense of loss of control, fear, hopelessness, anger, or even shame. Some may even feel they have to cope with all of those emotions and feelings on their own. If you are experiencing any of these emotions and feel lost – I am here to help you. I want to help you learn and believe that you are not alone, you are not to blame, and with help – you will be well and happy again.

Pronouns: She/her/hers. It's been another long day. You're emotionally exhausted. You've fallen short of your own high expectations. Again. You've given all you can but it just never seems to be enough. The more you give, the more drained you become and the more you wonder when it's all going to feel worth it. You want things to change but you don't even know where to start. You want to feel good about yourself. You want to feel appreciated and accepted in your genuine, loyal, and loving relationships. Most of all, you want to feel happy.
