Everyone faces challenges in life, but when those challenges start to feel constant, it might be time to seek the support you need to navigate them. Taking the first step toward counseling is hard, but the fact that you're here shows you're ready to take the next step.
Areas where I have additional training and experience: anxiety disorders, OCD, sex and sexuality, issues specific to the LGBTQ community, mens issues and relationships including polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships. I also have certifications as a Sex Therapy Informed Professional and a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.
I’m here to begin this journey with you. Why wait another day when you have the courage now to take the next step toward the balance and wellness you deserve? While counseling can be challenging, you won’t have to face it alone, we’ll walk this path together.

I often use CBT techniques because many of our problems stem from issues with our thoughts, feelings or behaviors. In session, we will explore and identify which areas are contributing to your distress and I provide the tools to help you work with them in a more effective way. I also use ACT techniques because moving toward our values and authenticity is the most direct path to happiness.
