You're not alone if you're feeling stuck in your life, in your relationships, or even in your own mind. We all feel this way at some point and it's a tough place to be. I am committed to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s complexities with compassion and understanding. Using approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help my clients set meaningful goals and move toward the life and relationships they want. Whether you're looking to break free from old patterns, finally deal with your anxiety, or embracing your authentic self, I am here to help.
I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety, infidelity, and challenges related to sexuality. I also provide compassionate support for those exploring gender identity, members of the LGBTQ community and men. Whether in traditional, or ethically non-monogamous relationships I will help strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, and rebuild trust.
If you're here, looking for a therapist, you know you've struggled long enough. Why wait another day when you have the courage now to take the next step toward finally getting unstuck and feeling better? I'm not going to promise counseling won't be challenging, because it will be, but when working with me, you won’t have to face it alone.

Breakup to Breakthrough
Breakup to Breakthrough is an 8 week program designed to support you in moving through the pain of heartbreak and into a place of deeper healing and self-discovery. This program is more than just a space to vent, it is a place to rebuild. Together, we’ll process grief, challenge patterns like emotional self-harm, strengthen your sense of identity, and explore what healthy love looks like including the relationship you have with yourself. Each week, you’ll engage in meaningful conversations, learn coping skills, complete reflective activities, and gain insight into your past relationship dynamics in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
