With me you will find a space to be open and vulnerable about topics that cause doubt, fear, discomfort, joy, curiosity, excitement, and more. The areas I focus my practice are: Individual Therapy, Couples and Family Therapy, Trauma/PTSD, Sexual Intimacy, Gender, Identity, and religion/deconstruction and reconstruction of faith. My passion is helping couples connect and develop a strong foundation from which they can take on any challenge, strengthen families of origin, helping blended families become deeply rooted, as well as helping individuals overcome personal struggles.
Although I am trained in a variety of therapeutic dynamics, I specialize in therapy related to relational issues, trauma, sexual dysfunctions, gender, identity, and religion.
Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, a broken heart, past trauma, or a death, there is hope. Feeling better is about trying something different. I am here for you.
