Let’s be honest-therapy is uncomfortable! There’s no getting around that squirmy “I can’t believe I have to tell this stranger my problems” feeling.

Hello! I moved to Colorado 7 years ago from the upper Midwest. I am proud to say I have an eclectic experience when it comes to counseling. I started off as a postgraduate career counselor then moved on to school counseling (elementary and high school) then therapy with both parolees and inmates in one of the state prisons. From there I have put a focus on working with clients and couples who suffer from depression, anxiety, personality disorders, gender identity, and concerns related to intimacy and sex.

I am currently taking new telehealth clients for sex therapy, couples therapy and trauma therapy. My ideal client wants to heal. With all the trauma from the past few years, self-work has never been more necessary and normalized. Coming out of a global pandemic, with relationships and sex lives suffering, we all need to be intentional about rebuilding emotional, mental and sexual health. Whether you’re trying to heal from trauma, improve communication and intimacy in your relationship(s), explore polyamory or consensual non monogamy, or explore sexual and/or gender identity, I believe I can help you to achieve your personal goals.

Relationships are hard. Only our closest loved ones, especially those we share a bed with, can stir up our most intense feelings of emotional pain, disappointment and shame. We often respond to these emotions with anger, withdraw, control or resistance which leads to conflict, emotional distance and the dreaded dead bedroom syndrome. Having disagreements in a relationship is expected. We all have our own ways of seeing, feeling and thinking about things including sex. The key to a healthy relationship is to be able to acknowledge the differences and communicate in a way that is genuine, supportive and understanding.

Society can be overflowing with expectations, guilt, and shame…but it doesn’t have to.

What if you accepted your intrinsic value without toxic shame or isolation holding you back? Imagine a space where you are free from judgment and encouraged to explore your sexual, spiritual, and physical experience, to deconstruct toxic messages about your existence, and to find genuine fulfillment in your life.

Feeling weighed down by the burdens of life yet struggling to find anyone who understands? Is stress, anxiety, or depression starting to impact relationships, work, or your sex life? Do you feel disconnected, trapped in cycles you can’t change, or haunted by the past? Are you unsure about who you are, who you want to be, or how to love all the parts of yourself? Since men are often expected to be strong, stoic, & steadfast, we often hide behind a mask, unsure about the internal swirl of emotions, doubts, & fears. You're not alone & what you face isn’t insurmountable. The journey of exploration, healing, & transformation begins here.
