I am passionate about helping couples revitalize their marriage, resolve relationship conflict and rebuild after infidelity.

The feeling of not being accepted or understood is an isolating experience. Looking in the mirror and lacking the confidence to fully love and embrace the image that gazes back at you can be heartbreaking, leaving you trudging through life feeling as though you are merely existing. Life without connection can be overcome by emptiness, frustration, sadness, unfulfillment and regret leaving you emotionally unprepared when challenges arise. Perhaps life with your partner/spouse has lost its excitement. Your relationship could be better if you could regain harmony and sparks could fly again, but you just don’t know where to begin.

At the end of the day…I want to help people, like you--- wrestle with the painful and messy areas of life that keep you feeling “ashamed”, “alone”, “stuck” and “worthless”. Whatever you are struggling with, I am here for you. I want you to have a “safe space” to wrestle with the questions you often wonder about God: “How could God allow these things to happen?” “Where was God during these terrible times”?

**Now Accepting New Clients** I see adults and adolescents who typically present with anxiety and/or depression. If I had to name just one specialty, it would be anxiety. Most people suffer some form of it at some point in their lives. When left untreated, it can lead to more severe symptoms and a whole host of diagnoses. I practice primarily Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I will talk to you about your beliefs, expectations, and how you experience the world. I'll teach you to be more accepting of yourself, so you can stop judging and reacting from created stories. I will also help you improve foundational behaviors.

Relationships are powerful. They have the power to inspire us, help us grow, or they can smother and even destroy us. We spend much of our time and energy engaged in relationships, tolerating, fixing, and avoiding relationships. I believe that relationships are powerful vehicles for change. As a psychotherapist, I offer a relationship that is warm, challenging, accepting, and personal where you can feel a full range of emotions, learn, grow, and attain your goals.

The decision to begin therapy does not make you weak minded or a weak person; it does not mean you have failed, it means you're ready to get better! Everyone has different reasons for attending therapy: anxiety, trauma, family, relationship issues, intimacy issues, gender dysphoria.... No matter what made you take this step know that you are in a safe space where your rights and beliefs are fully validated. As a client focused therapist I will not give you advise but rather help you find your own solutions to the barriers lying in your way that's keeping you from living your best life.

I help men and women who struggle with pornography and sex addiction, repeated infidelity, and compulsive spending on their hyper sexuality. No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop. The images grab you. You download the same scene a thousand times, and sneak away to view them at the end of work or after your partner goes to sleep. Your appetite is insatiable, and your partner complains that you aren’t interested in sex. Your life feels chaotic and out of control, and you aren’t performing at work the same way you did in the past. You are ready to take the steps to manage this problem and learn to live a life with less anxiety.

Struggling with life transitions, creative ruts, and relationships are difficult in any situation but especially so if you do not follow the heteronormative path. It can be difficult to open up to someone when you are not certain that they understand Queer and Alternative relationship structures. I use a straight forward and individualized approach with each client to build a therapeutic relationship based on specific goals. I focus my work around issues regarding LGBTQ+, sexuality, non-binary and transgender, complex relationships, power dynamics, sexual health, BDSM/Kink, and other alternative dynamics.
