What does sex mean to you? Is it about exploring your body and your imagination, feeling pleasure, or connecting with your partner? Many people I work with feel stuck in their sex lives. Some have found that their sex drives are different or that they don’t want the same things as their partner. They may struggle with orgasms, erections, or pain. Others have had past negative experiences that make pleasure and intimacy difficult. As a certified sex counselor and nurse practitioner, I recognize that sexual expression is a reflection of both physical and mental health and I can provide holistic support for both.

At times you can feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stressed by the events of your life. I provide a safe and caring space where you can explore these feelings.

Our goal together is to empower you and develop skills you can take with you on your journey through life.

We've all faced the darkest of times: the key to changing the dark to light, is opening the door to let someone in. I am here to help. I bring my personality and my passion to my work. Relationship struggles, life transitions and overcoming past pain and trauma are what I focus on and work with individuals and couples. My clients are looking for effective therapy that can last at two-three months to get their life back on track.

The LGBTQ+ population from youth to adults navigate the challenges of being ones-self and accessing safe housing, affirming healthcare, integrating into social circles of family and friends, feeling safe to exist in all spaces they enter, challenging the expectations to be the educator of their identities, and even policing themselves for their own safety and other people’s comfort. I will provide a safe space for folks to show up as themselves, identify concretely their goals and aspirations, consider how they can dictate their environment to become their sanctuary, and take small steps towards becoming their most authentic self.

Currently accepting new clients. Therapy can be a transformational process of self-discovery facilitated by deeper levels of awareness and change. I believe we have an inherent ability to heal ourselves, and my primary focus is to honor and trust your experience. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stressors can interfere with living a fulfilling life, causing problems in your life and relationships, and leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, lost or numb. I believe that therapy should meet the individual where they are within their unique set of circumstances.

How do you face life's challenges - grief, loss, divorce, parenting, relationships, change, illness, aging, or death - with courage, open eyes, and even grace? Or are you searching for meaning or purpose?

Everybody needs to be heard. Everyone craves understanding, connection, and acceptance. When we do not have an outlet to tell our story, thoughts, fears, hopes, and dreams- we risk losing pieces of ourselves along the journey. You may be in a position where you're seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in this life. You may be trying to make sense of disappointments or traumas that haunt you. Many may be looking for emotional healing and a path “back to normal” in a world that feels chaotic, uncertain. Some of you would simply like a sounding board to strengthen existing coping abilities; a refresher, if you will.

I strive to create a therapeutic environment where we can work together on your goals whether they feel big or small. I feel that human connection is incredibly powerful, and I make every effort to establish a strong and empathic relationship with clients who are struggling with life’s difficulties. I offer you a safe space to explore your concerns without judgement. My goal is to help you gain better self-acceptance, insight into your current and past challenges, and to create better strategies and skills to live in accordance with your values.
