My goal is to engage, educate, encourage, and empower the people I work with. With more than 18 years of experience, I take a thoughtful and creative approach to connecting with each client as an individual. I don’t simply listen to what my clients say—I strive to understand how they think, what they feel, and how they view their relationships and the world around them. I believe that meaningful and lasting change can only occur once these deeper perspectives are understood, allowing me to offer support that truly aligns with the goals my clients seek.
I work intentionally to create a safe, validating space where clients feel comfortable exploring difficult or often-ignored topics, while also being gently challenged toward growth. I am frequently told that my ability to empathize and put people at ease allows for honest, open conversations that foster insight and change.
I am an LGBTQ+ ally & a sex-positive therapist to people 15-60 who are navigating stressful life transitions, personal or professional challenges, relationship concerns, grief, mood disorders, and chronic health conditions that impact quality of life. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on helping clients move toward the life they want.
