Imagine finding yourself at the crossroads of personal growth and relational exploration. If you're feeling the need for change in your relationships or within yourself, now is the time. In the dynamic tapestry of your life, you're navigating shifts in relationships—be it personal or professional. This journey isn't just about understanding those around you; it's about unraveling the layers within yourself. It's about the exploration of identity, purpose, and stories that shape your connections.

I encourage clients to bravely create and live the life they want, despite the expectations, fears, and opinions of others, especially as it relates to sex and relationships. I strive to do this by building genuine connections with clients full of passion, authenticity, and understanding. I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples expand sexual health and functioning, rediscover and improve intimacy, and explore their desires and fantasies.

My ideal client will take advantage of my professional experiences that reach across educational, psychological, behavioral, judicial and social spectrums.

I have several speciality areas, including LGBTQ+, couples and relationships, depression, addiction & recovery, and integrating faith issues with all of these. I believe its all about discovering meaning in life, and your unique place in the world. If you find yourself struggling with your identity or how you fit in a relationship, your family, or community, I'd love to help you untangle that.

From childhood through late adulthood, there are certain times when we may need help addressing problems and issues that cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. Together we work towards growth by identifying the issues involved, establishing goals, and becoming increasingly aware of reoccurring patterns that prevent growth. As awareness of one’s fears, perception, desires, and strengths increase, we are able to make successful life changes. Self-awareness by becoming more honest with ourselves can initiate the authenticity that often results in healing, transformation, and fuller life.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families heal relationships and forge new and stronger connections. I'll help you improve communication, reduce conflict, and increase intimacy. I work with couples to understand what divides them, re-discover what brought them together in the first place, and make real and lasting changes in their relationship, including resolving sexual issues. I help parents to learn better ways to parent their children to create a happier, more peaceful family environment. I work with adult families to resolve extended family problems and air long-standing issues.

I know this story all too well because I am not afraid to admit, I’ve been where you are. I get it and you’re ready to shift out of it.
