Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You may be carrying anxiety, grief, burnout, relationship stress, or the weight of caring for everyone else while feeling depleted yourself. You may also be exploring intimacy, sexual health, identity, or relationship patterns, and wanting a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment. For LGBTQIA+ clients, I offer affirming care that honors the fullness of who you are.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. As a marriage and family therapist with training in clinical sexology, I help individuals and couples navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, intimacy concerns, identity, life transitions, and relationship challenges while building deeper self-understanding, trust, and connection.
Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re used to managing things on your own. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I offer secure online therapy for adults, couples, and caregivers seeking a compassionate, affirming space to heal, reconnect, and feel more like themselves.
