Everyone struggles sometimes, but when you find yourself struggling most of the time, it may be a sign it is time to seek out the help you need to move through your difficulties. Taking the first step toward counseling is challenging for many people, but coming this far in your search shows you are ready to move forward.
Areas where I have additional training and experience are anxiety disorders, sex and sexuality, issues specific to LGBTQ community, issues and concerns specific to men and relationships including polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. I also have certifications as a Sex Therapy Informed Professional and a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.
In a safe and supportive environment, I am waiting for you to begin this journey together. Why wait another day when you have the courage now to take the next step toward regaining the balance and wellness in your life you deserve. Counseling can sometimes be difficult, but when walking this path with me, you will not feel alone in the process.

I often use CBT techniques because many of our problems stem from issues with our thoughts, feelings or behaviors. In session, we will explore and identify which areas are contributing to your distress and I provide the tools to help you work with them in a more effective way. I also use ACT techniques because moving toward our values and authenticity is the most direct path to happiness.
