Mental health problems don't define who you are, they are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, more importantly, you are not the rain.

As a compassionate advocate of mental health and LGBTQ+ ally, I create a safe space free of judgment for my clients to express and be their true authentic selves.

I believe in supporting my clients through all of life’s real and perceived challenges. Everyone needs someone to talk to- someone to help process through emotions, thoughts, experiences and events.

Let's get honest, - if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, pornography, and intimacy issues, it is affecting your life. Counseling can be the answer. Struggles in relationships don’t occur during one spat or because of one negative event. Healing happens over a ​period of time as well, but don’t believe that old myth that says, “Time heals all wounds.” I have worked with many people who have discovered the source of their issues and found the right solutions.
