My clients range from adults managing everyday stress to those with complex forensic histories, such as formerly incarcerated individuals, justice-involved populations, and people struggling with problematic sexual behaviors. I also work with couples and individuals in LGBTQIA+ and nontraditional relationships. What they share: feeling stuck in repeating patterns that insight alone hasn't changed.
With a background in forensic mental health and victimology, I'm comfortable confronting issues that many clinicians are not.
I am proudly gender-affirming and identity-affirming.
My background in forensic mental health and trauma work has equipped me to address the heaviest material in counseling, but I also recognize how critical treating everyday stress, anxiety, and depression is to overall wellbeing. I take a direct, supportive approach that goes beyond insight to build real coping skills and emotional regulation.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to have it figured out before reaching out. If you're ready to start making sense of what's kept you stuck, I'd be glad to talk about whether we're a good fit.
