I warmly welcome you as you are, and hold a safe space to support your growth as your guide, witness, and companion. I enjoy working with clients who want more than traditional “talk” therapy. I offer experiential therapy, so you can go beyond cognitive understanding to having a transformative experience. I have an active style that is more than simply listening. I would describe the way I work as collaborative, curious, and challenging when it needs to be. I identify as a highly sensitive person (HSP) of gifted intelligence, both of which inform my work. My approach is mindfulness-based and somatic.

One of my greatest rewards as a therapist is helping clients explore ways to make changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope and live fully in the present. I believe we all need someone to talk with, who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgement. I provide clients with a warm, non-judgmental environment; a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing them from living the life they want. I have a heart for helping others find deeper meaning and a sense of purpose.

Your relationships and work life have created a high-stress lifestyle, which has caused you anxiety. Overwhelm and stress seem to be daily experiences, but worse, you are unsupported by the people you need the most. These people, along with your everyday tasks keep draining your time and energy, so much so that there's nothing left for yourself. You wish you could be a priority or feel important too. It’s as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders with no one to help. You know that life isn't meant to be overwhelming, though it feels like there’s just no other way.

My ideal client has some insight and understands that therapy is work. It's not just about having me (or anyone else) solve their problems -- it's something that has to be done jointly. They also need to be willing to listen and change.

I feel I "see" those who feel "unseen", especially those exhausted from constant masking. While masking can be necessary, overdoing it can leave us feeling unworthy, disconnected, and trapped in perception. Authenticity is essential to genuine connection and fulfillment.

You or a loved one may be struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, loss, or life transitions (emphasis on the life part). Maybe you just need someone to ask you how you are really doing and be able to hold space for that. You may try talking yourself out of your pain or experience by telling yourself “someone else has it worse” or “I don’t deserve to be happy after everything I’ve done”. We often tell ourselves that our feelings, conflicts, or stories must look a certain way for them to deserve attention. I am committed to allowing you to show up to therapy exactly as you need to without making any changes.

Every client is unique and should be helped in a manner that fits and works for their individual needs. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor, one built out of mutual respect and nonjudgments. I am not "better" than the clients I help, I simply have more exposure to a specific knowledge set and can provide tools that can be valuable in helping to improve their lives.

Most men will experience some form of impotence in their lifetime, and the likelihood of developing symptoms increases with age and declining health. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a number of factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and clogged arteries due to heart problems, or old age. In normal, healthy men, erections are activated by arousal, which activates pleasure centers in the brain. The brain sends messages down the spinal column, ending in the penile arteries. Pressure/shockwave treatments supports athletic sports injuries that can also contribute to inflammation restricting blood flow in the body.

What do we all have in common? We all have the need to feel seen and understood. When you’re anxious, depressed, or just plain stressed it can be hard to find people who accept you as you are. Sometimes that leads to discouragement, isolation, or feeling overwhelmed. However, when you do have a safe place to connect and be yourself it can be the start of an amazing journey. From there you can begin to see life more clearly, identifying the things holding you back as well as the parts of life you want to enhance or explore. I’m privileged to help people on that path of healing and growth. I help Adults - Young Adults - Teens.
