Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and Certified Sex Therapist specializing in intimacy, sexuality, and relationship challenges. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and empowering, rooted in the belief that you already hold the capacity to heal and grow. I focus on building practical coping skills that support you both in and beyond our sessions.

What you can expect from me

My communication style is firm yet compassionate, designed to help you explore multiple perspectives rather than offer quick advice. I believe therapy is about empowerment -helping you build new skills, gain clarity, and confidently move toward your goals. You are the expert on your life- I’m here to support you with tools, perspective, and space to define what success truly means for you.
