My approach is non-directive and is primarily based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client Centered Therapy. I see individuals and couples, age 15 and up. It is my goal to meet you where you are and provide a safe, supportive space for you to learn about yourself, make lasting changes, grow into the best version of yourself, and reach your goals.

You see the smile on my face? It took years to get rid of the old me and pour the joy of life into me. I often think about a comment from the movie "Color Purple", "All my life, I had to fight! Anger and rage were my inner weapons. One day I woke up and said, I'm tired of being angry and scared of what will happen next. Pointing the finger at others in my past didn't help. Once I realized I needed to take control of MY LIFE and save ME, my world changed.

My number one priority, above everything else, is to making therapy an approachable and enjoyable endeavor. I am open to working with adult clients of all genders and sexual orietations. I regulary work with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, as well as life transitions. I am experienced in working with LGBTQIA individuals and use an affirming approach. I also enjoy working specifically with men stuggling with sexual functioning, intimacy issues, and anger management.

The process of finding a therapist and therapy itself can be daunting. I believe in a client-centered and decolonized approach to therapy in which I do my best to mitigate and eradicate the power dynamics in the therapeutic space in order to allow for human-to-human healing to flourish. Accepting and supporting clients as they come into the therapy space is pinnacle to my practice and my commitment to radical authenticity. Clients can know that their needs, conflicts, life transitions, and goals will be addressed and supported in a therapeutic relationship with me as I walk with them as a personal advocate in their healing journey.

When people make the decision to see a therapist for the first time, they often feel a little anxious. My clients frequently say that I'm easy to talk to, and they tend to feel comfortable with me fairly quickly.

If you are ready to “tackle the tough stuff” in your life, I'll be here to help. I began my career in mental health working with families who were on the cusp of losing everything, including their children. Oftentimes, the members of these families could no longer find positives in their lives. They felt stuck and often did not believe things could change or get better. This soon became my “why” – to help those on the verge of losing all hope rediscover it. The moments I treasure most have been through the accomplishments — big and small — of those I've been honored to be able to serve. Each moment is amazing!

Life can get overwhelming, but having support through it can make it worth it. With kids and teens, I work with parents to help them best support their kids while still giving the child a place to talk openly. Many adults struggle with accepting help or identifying supports. So come in, let's talk!

In so many areas of our lives, finding affirming care can be a difficult and exhausting process. For those of us who exist outside of normative understandings of gender, race, sexuality, and other identities, feeling fully seen and held in all of our multifaceted and interconnected expressions of self is a rare experience. As an individual, relationship, and sex therapist I strive to create a space where you can show up as your whole complex self. I focus on challenging narratives of what it means to be successful, worthy, valuable, and desirable and on making room for what feels good and true for you.

I am honored to work with clients who are willing to share their stories, those who might feel ambivalent about counseling, maybe coming for the first time, to those that are highly motivated for support. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, identity and meaning, faith/spiritual and family/relational concerns and patterns who are seeking change, insight, support and additional skills. I value my diverse work in the community (group homes, day school, outpatient counseling and university counseling) with all ages (3 to 85) as believe they have developed me to be a well-rounded clinician.

My top priority as your counselor is to understand you as a whole individual and then reflect that understanding back to you. By focusing on the many unique identities that make up who you are, I work with you to tailor specific interventions that work for each individual I see. I firmly believe that hope comes from the development of skills and it is my job to help the hopeless develop and strengthen their skill set to face the challenges that work, life, and relationships may bring.

I enjoy making a connection with children and building trust with them through empathy, compassion, and education. We are then able to develop a relationship where I can help that child make a positive change in their thinking and behavior. I work collaboratively with parents and teachers to help facilitate these changes in the home and school environment. As both a school social worker and clinical therapist, I bring years of experience to help your child develop the skills necessary to overcome their individual challenges. I look forward to working with you!
