Please consider compassionate care for yourself. I strive to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore and discover what you desire in order to enjoy your life more fully. My goal is to empower you to live a life you love, not a life from which you want to escape. In addition to traditional counseling techniques and best practices, I utilize a holistic approach and consider physical health and functioning, as well.
I work to assist clients in developing behavioral techniques to address identified concerns. I am also a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional and am happy to explore issues of sex and sexuality (e.g. gender, sexual orientation, physical functioning/sexual activity, pleasure, and relational issues).
Should you wish to contact me, please reach out via email with any questions you have about myself or counseling in general. I am honored to help in any way I can. I sincerely appreciate and admire your decision to start counseling and look forward to talking and working with you!
