I help clients heal from trauma, navigate relationships with themselves and others, and explore sexual identities and interests in kink/BDSM.
You've always been the "strong one", right? Maybe you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed because past experiences are blocking you from fully connecting with others, and most importantly, yourself. Maybe you’re hiding sexual or kinky desires and feel lost in how to share these with your partner(s) or even accept them yourself. Maybe you just need someone to vent to. That’s ok! You have taken the most courageous step by asking for help, and that is exactly where I will meet you.

Are you walking through life feeling as though something is missing? Maybe it’s joy, fulfillment, success, career advancement, or even a meaningful relationship. Do you find yourself trying to please others instead of focusing on your own needs—or perhaps you’ve tried to “fix” yourself, only to slip back into old habits? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through these feelings by yourself any longer.
I want to help you get the life you desire and the life you deserve. Together, we can work toward rediscovering your sense of purpose and joy. Let’s start today.

I work with people not diagnoses. First and foremost I want my clients to know that they are not on their own. I first began to study counseling psychology because I enjoy helping people. When a person comes into my office it is usually because they are in need of help. Through the use of various psychological techniques I strive to assist those who seek to find what they are looking for. I also offer HIPPA compliant video counseling for convenience.

My role is to help you begin to think, feel, and understand yourself more deeply, empowering lasting change. My approach is a person-centered eclectic approach that fosters self-acceptance and empowerment. We will go at your pace - this is your journey.

No one should have to go through life's toughest moments alone. I believe that your past does not define you and everyone deserves to heal and feel better. The people I work with usually want something about themselves or their life to be different. Painful and overwhelming experiences tend to impact who they are, how they feel about themselves, and how they relate to others. Healing usually includes caring for wounds, learning lots, and doing things a little differently than before. People feel better about themselves - stronger, more secure, calmer, and more peaceful - as a result of therapy and healing work.

I'm proud of you. Awareness is the first step and searching for a therapist means you are already on a path to self-betterment. My role is to be a companion, someone to walk that path with you and help unlock personal insights and perspectives to improve your quality of life. Change is the unknown, so it is scary and difficult. We can become too comfortable in our routine of life, but your presence here means you are ready for the next adventure. Allow me to connect with you to fulfill my life's purpose and help you reach your full potential. You are not alone and you are cared for, even by people you haven't met yet.

You may be living with anxiety, carrying the effects of trauma, or navigating life as a neurodivergent person in environments that weren't designed with your needs in mind. Over time, the strategies that once helped you survive can begin to limit the life you want to create. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families to understand these patterns, heal from what no longer serves them, and build healthier relationships, greater confidence, and a life that feels more authentic and aligned with their values.

If you choose to allow me the honor of walking alongside of you, I will listen and value your lived experience as we work to meet your goals.

Congratulations on taking this first step. Starting therapy can be scary, and asking for help can be difficult to do. Yet, we all can use a little help now and then because we've developed patterns that affect how we are in relationship with ourselves and others. Often when people seek out professional help it is because they feel overwhelmed and stuck – the current ways of thinking and behaving are no longer working for them, and may be contributing to big, uncomfortable emotions. The solutions to resolving these feelings and creating change are within us but may seem out of reach.

I’m glad you’re here. Asking for help can be difficult and trusting someone new can make it even more challenging. I embrace a “come-as-you-are” approach to healing. I look to meet clients where they’re at with acceptance, compassion, and creativity, knowing no two journeys will be the same. I believe we are so much more than our trauma. We deserve to find peace. Through this work I have found that hope often grows as flowers do, from lightless places. Is it your turn to grow? Congratulations on taking a step towards change. I hope to walk with you along the way.

You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or never quite good enough. Maybe you grew up learning to keep the peace, care for everyone else, or push your needs aside. Now you second-guess yourself, feel guilty setting boundaries, or repeat relationship patterns you promised you would change. Grief or trauma may have left you feeling disconnected, on edge, or stuck in survival mode. You understand why you feel this way, but insight alone has not helped you feel different. You want to stop carrying the past into the present and feel more secure in yourself and your relationships.

In facing change, we may be forced to grow. I am here to help you grow AND hold a safe space for you to do so. I strive to provide direction as you navigate, understand, and explore who you are and who you aspire to be. An important component in this work is being kind to ourselves. We cannot facilitate change without first implementing self-compassion.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.
How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
