I provide counseling services to all communities and specialize in non-monogamous relationships, individuals who have participated in the erotic trade industry and the kink and queer communities. My goal is to combat stigmas impacting marginalized communities by creating access to mental health resources. These stigmas create barriers to treatment, contribute to a lack of culturally competent therapeutic resources, infringe upon a person's bodily autonomy and contribute to discriminatory incidents.

Do you experience anxiety in your body, causing you to feel tense, panicky, or disconnected from your authentic self? Do you sometimes feel out of control and struggle to manage stressful situations? You may even avoid certain situations or endure them with intense discomfort, leaving your energy depleted. Perhaps you are concerned about your child’s or teen’s anxiety and its affect on their school or home life. Though anxiety is often addressed through traditional talk therapy, a more holistic approach can build confidence to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease.

I enjoy working with clients who want to explore their life experiences. Stepping into therapy is an acknowledgement that something isn't adding up to what you want it to be, and my passion is helping you on your journey to become who you want to be. I work with individuals aged 10 and up on issues such as depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, ADHD, autism, relationship struggles, family conflict, school struggles, existential issues, or adjustment problems. Ultimately, whatever your goal is in therapy is my goal as well. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than seeing you meet your goals and growing towards who you want to be.

We live in stressful times and many of my clients come to me because I specialize in many areas and have years of counseling experience from a nonjudgemental Christian perspective. They need hope and guidance to overcome those issues that seem impossible. Children are navigating a world full of conflict and uncertainty. Through talking with them and play therapy we get to the critical issues. Men are hesitant to seek counseling because many times their issue has to do with sex. Pornography has saturated our world and is readily available. I wrote Conquering Pornography, a 5-star book, on how to overcome this addiction.

I am a mental health counselor who believes therapy is a process in which you will gain greater self-awareness, that can change how you live in the world and relate to others. We all have issues from our past, big and small traumas, being triggered by our current situations that prevent us from living a more meaningful life. Creating healthy connections with the parts of you that are challenging, builds the resources for you to be more authentic and comfortable in your own skin. By doing this, you find your strengths and face your fears.

I work with young adults, teens, families, and individuals from the BIPOC community who are navigating various mental health concerns such as anxiety, mood disorders, relationship struggles, life transitions, multicultural challenges, and family conflicts.
