As humans, we are wired to seek out pleasurable and passionate experiences, but often in this pursuit, something gets in the way of our enjoyment: shame, stigma, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues...the list goes on. I believe sexuality is a very important part of life, but often we experience mental and emotional struggles associated with who we're having sex with, how often, and how we do it. As a sex-positive and LGBTQIA+ allied counselor, I am passionate about empowering my clients to live their most authentic lives, free of shame, doubt, and the other things that get in the way of our pursuit of pleasure.

Hello and thank you for stopping by. Counseling is a very personal journey and it is important to find a counselor you can trust and feel comfortable with. I always encourage potential clients to research, compare, and even email or call prior to the first session so any initial questions or concerns can be answered and addressed. Over the past 22+ years both my training and experience in mental health have been in working with people with history of trauma, mood and anxiety type disorders, relationship difficulties, behavioral struggles, parenting issues, and life transitions.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, people from marginalized communities, and anyone carrying the wounds of religious trauma. Whether you’re navigating identity, healing from spiritual abuse, or confronting the impacts of systemic oppression, I offer care centered in active listening, empathy, and authenticity and rooted in a framework of liberation. I believe that caring for ourselves means caring for our communities and that healing is a radical act of self-care and resistance. Together, we can explore what it means to tend to ourselves, our communities, and our inner worlds.

Sometimes you find yourself in a phase of life and wonder “how did I get here?” Or maybe you need help making sense of what it means to be there. You are not alone. In a trusted therapeutic alliance, we can work together to understand and accept not only the phase of life you are in, but who you are and how you can transform into who you want to be. Let’s dive into your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and determine if they are getting you closer to who you want to be. This can look like building positive self regard, meaning making, setting boundaries, creating new goals, or healing from abusive systems.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” (-Maya Angelou)
Learning how to heal from trauma you have experienced can have a very positive impact on your life. I am seeking clients that are ready to discover how the trauma they have experienced affects them, how to develop healthy coping skills, how to develop and maintain healthy relationships, and how to regain a sense of security within themselves. I'm especially passionate about working with LGBT clients, as I am also a member of this community, and working with people of color.

I am fiercely LGBTQ+ affirming- you are seen & celebrated here!

Life is so hard sometimes. My guess is that you are here because you are in the middle of something hard or you are no longer willing or able to avoid it alone. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, grief, or a major life transition, I wish it were easy. I wish our experience wasn't marked by hurt, sadness, loss, or the many difficult things we face. As much as I wish life did not involve this level of pain, I know there is another side to it. I know that love, celebration, joy, peace, and healing exist.
