In my experience, a person who seeks therapy wants solutions that work. The fact that you are considering therapy is proof that you have more strength, and solutions, than you may be aware of today. Therapy is not about eliminating the inevitable problems in life but, rather, learning how to cope effectively and grow when they occur. More importantly, however, I know that whatever the intervention, the real change comes from you and strengths you may not be aware of.

Finding a therapist or educator who truly understands you is exhausting. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, only to feel misunderstood—by a clinician who didn’t get your polyamorous relationship, minimized your trauma, judged your kinks, or asked invasive questions about your gender. Whether you’re here to heal, explore, question, or just pissed that no one ever taught you how to have good sex, you belong in this space. Sex is political, emotional, healing, joyful, and sacred. Pleasure is a right, not a privilege. Therapy should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and affirmed. And because you deserve a therapist who gets it.

I believe that everyone can get stuck or lost. Sometimes we can get unstuck by connecting with someone who is compassionate, non-judgmental and objective. I have spent over 25 years in behavioral health, helping people discover and become their "best" and healthy selves. Present problems, past hurts or even diagnoses don't have to take over our lives. Problems can be solved, hurts transformed, diagnoses understood and skills can be learned. A wise person once told me, "As long as you are alive, there is hope." I believe that and offer you the opportunity to find a new way.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed and trapped by the pressures of everyday life—whether it’s the demands of work, family obligations, or societal expectations. Often, they carry the weight of past trauma that amplifies these feelings and makes change feel daunting. Despite this, there’s a deep desire for transformation and a longing for a more fulfilling life. They must feel heard and validated as they work through family conflicts and improve their communication skills. They seek practical strategies to cope with their challenges while addressing the impact of their past experiences.
