Something brought you here — and you don't need me to tell you what it is. You already know what's been weighing on you.
What you might be looking for is a therapist who actually gets it. Someone with real experience, not just textbook training. Maybe you've never really talked to anyone about what's going on. Maybe you're a man looking for a space where you can actually go deeper. Maybe you're LGBTQ+ and want a therapist who gets it without needing a tutorial first
Whatever brought you here, you're ready for something to actually change. Let's figure out together what that looks like.

I've worked with a wide range of individuals who have been deeply impacted by trauma due to family conflict, instability, and hardship. I have specialized experience working with trauma-related mental illness and attempt to create a brave space for clients to process their most vulnerable experiences. I enjoy being creative and collaborative with my clients while acknowledging each individual's intrinsic value and worth. I strive to provide an inclusive environment for my clients, giving empathy, acceptance, and empowerment to help them overcome shame and the overwhelming way their trauma impacts their lives.

Grounded in the alliance between the patient and clinician, psychotherapy provides a forum to communicate, organize, and manage thoughts and feelings. Treatment focuses on the expression and examination of emotion, exploration of avoidances, and identification of recurring themes and patterns. In addition to the cathartic impact, psychotherapy engenders flexibility of thought, tolerance, and opportunities to make more informed choices. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for a variety of concerns, including: • Depression • Anxiety • Trauma • Relational difficulties and interpersonal conflict • Life transitions • Loss and grief • Stress management.

Healing is sparked by the bravery you already have, and it is my privilege to help you harness it. Living with unresolved trauma creates barriers that impact your daily life.

Together, we will connect your trauma and its influence on your decision-making, behaviors, sense of self, and relationships. Since healing is non-linear, specific to your story, and empowered by your vision for the future, you will lead and determine the direction of our process.

No matter your past or present, your haves or have-nots, life can be difficult. We believe that people need to be understood – to feel validated and acknowledged for who they are, what they're good at, and how they may struggle. Without these moments of understanding, life can feel mundane, lonely, or deeply confusing. At the most troubling times, when stress, depression, or relationships overwhelm, change can seem impossible. Yet change is made possible through a trusting therapeutic relationship and a careful understanding of oneself and others.

Excessive pornography use can eat away at the foundation of trust in relationships, leaving your partner feeling deeply hurt and inadequate. How can something so common and seemingly benign be so hard to control? It starts with casual screen use for work that morphs effortlessly into social media, then adult content, cam sites, or OnlyFans. This is especially challenging for ambitious men used to figuring things out alone. I’m not just a professional; I’ve been in your shoes and know the cost to your integrity when this goes unaddressed. If you're tired of this cycle, there is a clear path out.

My ideal clients are adults navigating the complex emotional terrain of chronic illness and health challenges. They often struggle with anxiety, depression, grief over lost capabilities, and difficulties adjusting to a new normal. Many feel isolated or misunderstood by those who haven't experienced chronic health issues. They seek a space to process their experiences, develop coping strategies, and find meaning despite physical limitations. Their goals typically include reducing distress, improving relationships strained by illness, advocating effectively for their needs, and reclaiming agency in their lives.

After 34 years as a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker, I have decided not to renew the license and to continue working as a Relationship Coach.
What's wrong with this relationship? The same problems keep on repeating time after time. So what does a study of psychology reveal? A well-trained and experienced psychotherapist can help to shine a light into the dark unconscious places which shroud the mysteries. This helps to bring the issues into consciousness, and once there, allows you to work with them. This work involves change. There may be many underlying issues which will become the work as they become apparent.
