As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and a Certified EMDR Specialist, I offer counseling to individuals who struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, sex/porn addiction, unresolved trauma and those wanting to work on their relationships on an individual and/or couple basis. Therapy would not only focus is not only on the root causes of the issues because going back to the root cause and where our issues originated removes the power it has on us, but reducing the affects that it has on us in the present day so that we can move forward in our lives.

Relationships are complex, whether marriage, domestic partnership, family or friends; we all occasionally need help navigating the currents that are continually in a state of flux. I am dedicated to helping individuals & couples work towards healing themselves & form stronger bonds within their relationships. I work with many clients in the LGBTQIA+ community including exploring sex and gender identity. I also specialize in sex related concerns such as relational & bedroom concerns, rape and abuse.

I work with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, and life changes. Most importantly, I work with you as a whole-person and strive to address all of the factors impacting your wellbeing. Finding the balance between easing symptoms and developing a more meaningful life is a hallmark of my approach. Often, it can be difficult to open-up and feel vulnerable; I do my best to help you feel comfortable expressing yourself. Many of my client's describe me as gentle and easy to talk to. Out of anything I can offer as a therapist, I believe this is the most important.

Tired of going in circles, tired of not having balance. Feeling overwhelmed as a single mother, or tired of continuously going to the doctor and not getting better.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with a life challenge, stressful event, or in a sad, thoughtful state of mind? Reaching out is often the first step to improving your mental health. My first goal as a counselor is to connect and actively listen to your concerns and challenges. I take pleasure in helping and guiding you to identify issues and problem areas so that together we can develop problem-solving skills that will improve life satisfaction

It’s difficult to admit we don’t always like the person that stares back at us when we look in the mirror. Sometimes life can make you a shell of your former self. You may ask yourself, Am I a good friend, partner, parent, child, student, worker? The burden of trying to be everything for everyone can feel draining. For so long you have pretended to be okay. Maybe, at times you even believed you were okay. Therapy offers you the opportunity to explore past experiences while also focusing on your ideal future self. You don't have to do this alone. Allow me to help you experience life more abundantly.
