An ideal client is committed to the therapeutic process; understanding that changing behaviors and thoughts that are problematic are vital parts of therapy. Making these changes can help in fostering a more fulfilling and enriching life. I believe in empowering clients through developing self-awareness and control; this helps to teach that he/she is the real reason positive change happens. I offer encouragement and development of healthy boundaries in a nonjudgmental environment. I have been employed in social services for over 20 years in various settings; inpatient/outpatient programs, correctional department, & private practice.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a warm, affirming space to help you heal and embrace your most authentic self.

When you are looking for someone with whom you can share your experiences, doubts, and questions, I am here to listen with empathy and support. My specialties include life transitions, relationship growth and challenges, sex therapy (kink + poly welcome!), trauma treatment, and LGBTQIA+ wellness & identity work.

You were taught how to do Algebra, but not how to deal with the situation you find yourself in. For me, therapy is about finding the right tools for you so that you can, in the healthiest way possible, thrive in the hardest times. I want you to know that you are amazing, and infinitely capable, and that sometimes you just need a little bit of help learning how to deal with life's curve balls.

Confusing emotions, a general discontentment with life, or a life-changing event can motivate a person to seek counseling. Counseling helps us better understand our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. A better self-understanding helps us to reconsider our participation in undesired or unhealthy behaviors, improves our self-image, and positions us to engage healthier, more mutually gratifying relationships. Psychotherapy helps us to process or work through traumatic or hurtful experiences and gain insight into unhealthy emotions associated with these experiences. Over time, we can learn healthier ways to engage life and relationships.

If you’re like most people, you probably have some challenges in your life that you’ve talked over with your friends, family, and maybe even your minister. That can help with some problems. But, when the issues keep coming up, it may be time to invest in yourself by setting aside time to make a lasting change. Are you having relationship issues? Is fear or anxiety causing you to avoid things you'd like to do? Have you been depressed and uninterested in things that you usually love? Are you feeling stuck and unable to move on? If you answered YES to any of these questions, I can help you find a life worth living.

Maybe you’re even thinking: “What are my needs or desires?” Does people-pleasing show up when you’re anxious or unsure?
