I am a Gay Affirmative Trained Therapist which affords me the opportunity to provide a special range of psychological knowledge, which challenges the traditional view, that homosexual desire & fixed homosexual orientations are pathological.
The decision to seek therapeutic help is never an easy one. It often comes at a time when most people feel hopeless, vulnerable, frustrated and unable to cope without outside help or resources. Recognizing this, I strive to provide my clients with the utmost respect and compassion, in a confidential and safe environment. I work together with my clients, in an authentic, collaborative way, to bring about positive changes that make sense in their life, according to their personal values. My specialty is Relationships & Sex Therapy, identifying & working w/ intimacy issues and infidelity. I am a AASECT Certified Sex Therapist.

I specialize in working from a systemic focus with families and couples ( LGBTQIA+ affirming) and individuals.
Finding a therapist that is right for you amongst the sea of biographies can be daunting and finally getting in and seeing if it’s a good fit can be even more frustrating. My style is relational, straightforward, and personalized to each client’s needs. I want you to feel comfortable advocating for yourself and for the direction of your treatment. My belief is that you are the expert on yourself and I am privileged to be a part of the process. While I wish that I could promise a “Goodwill Hunting” moment every session, I CAN promise that I will work alongside you as your ally every step of the way.

I have worked with women and LGBTQ+ folx impacted by trauma for the past 10 years.
Sometimes we lose ourselves when we get caught up in the way we think we "should" be in various relationships, workspaces, and societal expectations. Losing or ignoring who we truly are can lead to relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and general life dissatisfaction. "Losing ourselves" can happen due to traumatic life circumstances and/or years of unrelenting pressures. Let's get curious about your passions, work together to let go of what's not working, and build a roadmap so you can step in to a more authentic you.
