If sexual, emotional, or other barriers are stopping you from living the life you want, let me help you harness your inner strength.

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. Many people experience shame about their relationship preferences, kinks, and sexual orientation. I like to help individuals and couples who may be struggling in this area. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth.

I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood issues. I help persons and families address communication problems, unhealthy patterns, and rebuilding trust as well as relationship problems including infidelity and blended families and co-parenting. I work with and am welcoming of LGBTQ+ relationships, hetero relationships, poly relationships, kink, BDSM, and sex workers. Additional areas addressed include religious shame surrounding sexuality. I have completed graduate studies in religion and theology and assist persons in dealing with toxic religious wounds.

I believe relationships define each of us and form the foundation for our life. I work from a systemic perspective with couples, individuals, and families to create relationships that define not only who we are, but also who we desire to become. I help clients with their relationships, intimacy, connection, communication, and sexual compatibility. I work with a lot of women who have suffered from Narcissistic abuse in relationships and family of origin. I also help those who are confused in their current relationships. I enjoy helping those who have autoimmune disease and cancer redefine their sexuality, relationships and desire.

I help clients overcome frustrating relationship patterns, self-sabotaging behavior, and persistent depression and anxiety. In our sessions, you'll find a thoughtful, supportive, and creative environment where clients work at the pace most comfortable for them. My approach to therapy seeks to align an individual's feelings, values, and actions. Our emotions motivate our behavior, and when we want to change but seemingly can't, we're often working against our emotional selves. Clients work with me to tap the right motivation to meet their goals. I treat individuals, couples, and parents.
