At the core of each person, I believe there is an innate basic goodness and predilection for health. Throughout our lives, trauma, difficult experiences, life transitions, and challenges can create barriers to accessing this innate health. These experiences can leave us feeling, lost, confused, anxious, or just stuck in our own minds. Imagine walking a confusing forrest path, and wondering where to turn next. In my practice, I aim to be your guide along that path. As a counselor, I help you navigate the process of getting to know yourself more deeply and act from a place of health and authenticity.

Are you feeling "stuck" or "shut down"? Perhaps you're feeling like you are on a never-ending "hamster wheel" and are having trouble making sense or finding purpose in your life. Maybe anxiety or depression are preventing you from engaging with yourself and the world in the way that you would like - more connected, more open and less "closed off." I can offer a safe space for you to process these and more life issues you are facing, freeing you from the burden of bearing them alone and perhaps learning new strategies to cope with life's stresses. Normally you're pretty good at overcoming obstacles but are finding it challenging.

Sexual addiction (SA) is a hidden addiction. It is a global problem, under-reported, and largely untreated. SA harms relationships, creates relational trauma for partners, and damages trust and intimacy in relationships. Addicts often engage in secrecy and feel shame and guilt about their behavior. Partners often feel betrayed and traumatized by the addicts behavior. Intimacy issues are often an underlying concern for both individuals and for couples. Like other addictions, SA can get progressively worse over the years. If untreated, SA can lead to relationship loss, divorce, job loss. financial problems, and legal problems.

Imagine feeling more confident, calm, and in touch with yourself and in your relationships.

I am passionate about coming into the Here and Now with clients and believe in the healing power of being witnessed with presence and loving kindness.

Now accepting new clients! Has life become a process of just going through the motions? Has the build up of painful memories from the past or the worry about what will happen next keep you from living life to its fullest?

However, as common as struggle is, likewise is the struggle of working up the courage to reach out and ask for help when we need it. The beauty of counseling is that it reveals this path doesn’t have to be walked alone.
