Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Counselor with 13 years of diverse clinical experience. I work primarily with individuals experiencing relationship difficulties, depression, and anxiety. You may be struggling to communicate with a significant other or looking for a fulfilling relationship. You may be seeking guidance while in a polyamorous / non-monogamous relationship. You may be in the midst of a life transition, feeling lost and overwhelmed, needing compassionate support and direction.

My approach to therapy

I provide a compassionate environment so you can safely explore your worries and other emotions that come with being human. I empower you to break free from unhelpful struggles and live a values-driven life. I can help you gain perspective on your thoughts and feelings, let go of the struggle, and clarify what truly matters to you. With this newfound clarity, you can commit to actions that align with your values, leading to reduced anxiety, improved relationships, and a more fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to develop a toolbox for navigating life's inevitable challenges. You'll learn to step back and observe your thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. You'll identify your core values and commit to actions that bring you closer to living a meaningful and fulfilling life, even amidst difficult emotions.

I ensure that my therapy space is safe, sex-positive, LGBTQIA+, ENM/Polyamory, and Kink affirming.
