Relationships are opportunities for growth and exploration and yet can be the sources of some of our most painful hurts and losses. Therapy itself is a relationship, and I aim to build one with clients that is authentic and healing. I help people who often feel like they're "too much" or "not enough" better understand themselves and connect with others.

My ideal patient is a man or a couple navigating the psychological and relational complexities of sexual health. Often, these patients experience distress from Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction, Sexual Performance Anxiety, or Compulsive Sexual Behavior. They need a psychotherapist who recognizes that pornography-related distress and performance issues are rooted in behavioral conditioning, not just emotion. Their goal is to break the anxiety cycles and mental blocks that inhibit arousal. They seek a structured, direct, clinical intervention to regain control of their sexual and behavioral health.

I believe therapy should be an affirming space where we can explore our lived experiences and how we relate to the world. I believe you are the expert on your life, possessing deep knowledge of your identity, values, and how they interact as you move through life. Through honest dialogue, mindful reflection, and self-compassion, we can develop tools to help you authentically navigate life’s obstacles. I’ve worked with clients to address anxiety, depression, stress, identity exploration, relationship issues, trauma, and life transitions. I engage all clients with a culturally affirming, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach.

I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental atmosphere to help you feel comfortable opening up about what you have been struggling with. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction issues, dealing with a life transition, and relationship issues. Many of my clients begin counseling because they are not feeling like themselves and want to make a healthy change. Sometimes we don't know exactly what that change is until we begin to build awareness around our needs in therapy.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking support in navigating challenges and creating meaningful change. Whether someone is facing a personal struggle, working through relationship concerns, or adjusting to a major life transition, therapy can provide a supportive space to explore patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
Clients often come to me because they want to feel more understood, by themselves and by others, and are open to reflecting on the ways they may be contributing to the difficulties they face. This openness becomes an important starting point for growth and healthier connections.

Our lives' narratives sometimes may not be pleasant nor self-fulling. Nonetheless, the therapeutic space can serve as a starting point to reflect and create new beginnings. It can also be a space where we revisit past narratives that may have marked you significantly or try to embrace our fears for the future. In our work together, I aim to connect with you in a way that not only allows for safety, trust and vulnerability but instills a sense of empowerment that affirms your ability to endure uncertainty. I view therapy as a space where both you and I can help each other to co-narrate your life experiences.
