Hello and Welcome! It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these issues.

I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth.

For the past 20 years, I've devoted myself to supporting individuals navigating through the complexities of mental health. My passion lies in assisting clients grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship or parenting concerns. My approach is rooted in multiple therapeutic modalities.

This allows for a tailored, holistic journey toward healing and growth,respecting each client's unique narrative

Therapy is an intensely personal process which can be both exquisitely liberating and excruciatingly difficult. To honor this, I focus on developing a strong relationship with you characterized by compassion and a suspension of judgments. No topic is off-limits in my office; nothing is "unspeakable" or "unthinkable." What I ask of my clients is to be honest and searching. I will never coerce you into divulging something before you are ready, but I may encourage you to examine the deeper meanings behind interactions that have been troubling you. Together we will uncover truths and sort through whatever may rise up.

Do you feel like you have no one to talk to about your problems? Let me help untangle those difficult thoughts and feelings. I'm passionate about working with couples and individuals, the LGBT+ population, men’s issues, using EMDR to help process trauma, and people experiencing anxiety or sexuality-related issues. Therapy and mental health became a passion of mine after my own experience with therapy. Having gone through my own experiences with anxiety, I saw the benefit of how a therapist can untangle the web of thoughts and make them easier to navigate.

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you deserve a provider who fully welcomes and affirms your identities, values, and lived experiences. Whether you are coming to therapy to explore gender, sexuality, or neurodiversity, work through relationship stressors or body image/eating issues, or heal from the pains of religious-based trauma, you will be seen, heard, and deeply valued in this space. In this collaborative process, we’ll work together to identify your goals and strengths to tailor your care in a client-focused way. From the start, I hope to meet you where you are at and ultimately, inspire personal growth and restoration.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.
