The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Somatic Experiencing, Jungian, IFS, transpersonal, mindfulness and social justice oriented.

I am a Social Worker with 20 years of clinical experience and 15 years of school social work experience. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and families, as well as individual adults and couples. I can help navigate through major and minor life changes and illnesses. I have expertise in behavior planning for children and families. My years of experience include working with ADHD, ODD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Autism Spectrum Disorders, attachment, grief and loss, divorce, and changing family structures; including step-parenting, same-sex parenting and foster-parenting. I have also worked with youth and adults navigating sexual orientation, gender expression and relationships.

I believe that with support and the right therapeutic relationship you can make the changes you want in your life. I am a Certified Sex Therapist and I attended the Sexual Health Certificate Program at the University of Michigan. I work with folks who want to fully experience sexual pleasure, but aren't sure how. This may be related to sexual pain, sexual trauma, or an upbringing lacking education about sexual health. My approach honors and addresses situations in the past, but also gives you ideas about how to feel better in the here and now.

My two areas of expertise are: sex and relationship therapy & religious trauma therapy. I have specific training and experience in both areas. I can help with many different sexual challenges, from purity culture harm, to lack of arousal and orgasm, to differences in desire, as well as the relational tension that comes up around the topic of emotional & physical intimacy. Creating an environment of relational safety is most important, as well as adopting frameworks that help us think in productive and compassionate ways about our sexual experience.

You're seeking to explore and enhance your sexual pleasure, as well as strengthen the connection and intimacy in your relationship(s). You're open and curious about your sexuality, willing to challenge your beliefs and behaviors, and committed to personal growth and development. You value communication and honesty in relationships and desire to deepen the emotional and physical connection with your partner(s). If this sounds like you then you've come to the right place! (Email is the best way to reach me)

If you are struggling with sexual issues, particularly in areas of pelvic pain, low desire, difficulty reaching orgasm, or erectile dysfunction, I may be able to help you.

Roses grow as much from rain as they do from sunlight. There is an incredible potential within each one of us that allows us to reflect on all of our sources of growth to reach the healthiest version of ourselves. Taking that big step to nurture yourself through therapy is extraordinarily commendable. That’s not to say there won’t be thorns, but it's my privilege to navigate them alongside you in a space that is safe and comfortable. I believe in the power of perception and reflection. I view those who enter the therapy space through the lens of their strengths and challenges within the systems that surround and affect them.

Times are very tough right now, but reaching out for help should not be. By asking for help you are already taking the first step to making your mental health a priority. As a therapist, I provide an inclusive and empathetic space for my clients to begin the healing journey. Opening up to a stranger is scary and I am here to make that first step less frightening. I do not approach therapy as a one-size fits all style. People are unique and their environment and experiences make them who they are.
