Great to meet you!

Hello! I am Ernie a Clinical Mental Health Counselor ( LMHC). I have dedicated my time to learn how to help support people that have experienced trauma, any one apart of the LGBTQ+ community, and those seeking sex therapy ( including but not limited to: sexual desires, kinks, finding enjoyment alone or with a partner, navigating open/ ENM dynamics, conversations with partners)

My approach to therapy

The therapy space is yours! I strive to make you feel comfortable and safe. This is a judgment free zone, I want to hear you and support you. I bring humor, firm but gentle approaches, and strategies that are tailored to you in each session.

What you can expect from me

I create a laid back environment and am always open to suggestions to make you feel safer. I will meet you where you are at and move at the pace that is right for you. All goals are created together and I will support you every step of the way as you strive to reach your goals.
