Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile and for being open to this experience. I view the counseling process as developing a relationship between the counselor and client in which we explore and define the client's presenting issue. We would then work together to examine those issues and create counseling goals to improve the client's welfare. I strive to have my clients feel warmth, genuineness, and understanding within the counseling relationship. Trust and mutual respect are also needed components to enhance the counseling experience.

You are the one who holds everything together - for your family, your job, your relationships - but inside you feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed. You may struggle with chronic worry, people-pleasing, relationship stress, burnout, or feeling like you’ve lost yourself. You want peace in your body, clarity in your mind, and to finally feel emotionally safe. You’re not looking to be “fixed.” You want to feel understood, grounded, and whole again.

I offer in-person or on-line sessions for individuals and couples.
I work with individuals and couples around issues of sexual dysfunction, pain, and differences in desire. I also specialize in working with marginalized sexualities and relationships, such as non-monogamy, kink, and LGBTQIA+. Sexuality is an integral part of who we are as human beings and can be one of our greatest sources for pleasure and connection. However, that pleasure and connection can be blocked by things like shame, fear, grief, health issues, injury, and pain. I believe therapy can help clients create positive changes in how they approach sex while building healthy narratives around intimacy, relationships, and gender.

I have over 26 years experience in private practice. I have also been a counselor educator for 20 years teaching at the graduate level and providing practicum and internship supervision for students entering the counseling field. I believe the counseling process is all about change, that is, changing current behaviors, thinking patterns, or feelings. Counseling will allow you opportunities to explore areas of concern, while challenging you to think and/or behave in new ways pertaining to the issues in your life. I believe this can be achieved through a balance of guidance, encouragement, support, and feedback.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
