Do you often feel like the odd one out, misunderstood, unheard, or simply different from others? If so, you're not alone, and you're exactly the kind of person I love working with. My practice is grounded in supporting individuals who are exploring identity, healing from trauma, and embracing the complexity of being human, especially when that humanity doesn't fit into a neat, conventional box. I have focused on working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people in ethically non-monogamous or kink relationships, and those aligned with alternative spiritual or faith practices.

I offer individual and family counseling as well as parent education. My therapy office is welcoming and comfortable, which fosters the ability for individuals and families to feel safe as they explore their concerns and prepare to heal.

The focus of my work is helping individuals who are struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors (commonly known as sex addiction) and the negative impacts it can have on a person's relationships, overall emotional well being, health, family, career and other aspects of life. Struggles with sexuality can involve a great deal of pain, guilt and shame. If this is your experience, finding a professional who can provide a safe and non-judgemental space is crucial.

You wake up carrying a heaviness others don’t see — racing thoughts, a tight chest, and the pressure to “hold it together.” You worry about misunderstandings, replay conversations, or feel overwhelmed by memories you can’t shake. Sometimes you rely on numbing — substances, overworking, or shutting down — just to get through the day.
When you try to talk about it, people may dismiss your feelings. They don’t always understand trauma, addiction, or what it’s like to navigate relationships and a world not built for your neurotype. You’re tired of pushing yourself to keep going — and ready for something to change.
