By creating a space for you to feel safe, valued, and empowered, my goal is to help you navigate whatever life circumstances you find yourself facing. You will gain new tools for your toolbox to utilize for coping, growing, healing, and moving forward on your journey. I am practical in my approach of counseling and use a variety of methods to come alongside you as you walk your path.

I believe counseling is a confidential process intended to aid you in dealing with your self-doubts, life-uncertainties, and personal concerns. I believe counseling will help you better understand your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, while you discover more effective coping skills. Consequently, counseling is a relationship between you and me. I am dedicated to helping members of the LGBTQ community who struggle with depression, anxiety, coming out, transitioning, HIV diagnosis, relationships, and social factors. I have also dedicated my life to help those who suffer from addiction issues including alcohol, drugs, sex, and gambling. I work with individuals from 18-80-years-old. I have developed an eclectic approach to therapy that fits my holistic style. I utilize many different disciplines including cognitive-behavioral, gestalt, existential, solution-focused, and person-centered therapies. I believe that all people are capable of change and strive to become the best that they can be. I possess the knowledge, motivation, and enthusiasm to assist you in realizing your personal goals through your past and current life experiences. Together we will work on what you think is best for you. My goal is to help you raise your awareness, to achieve your goals, and to discover your personal meaning, growth potential, and psychological health.

Helping individuals, couples and business partners create solutions and find new ways to develop the relationships and lives they desire. All couple counseling is about personal change. My approach to working with couples is highly collaborative, helping partners to understand their respective roles and take responsibility for making the changes necessary to improve their relationship. With couples I specialize in Affair Recovery and rebuilding trust. I am also a Board Certified Sex Therapist with a PhD in Clinical Sexology. With individuals I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, substance abuse and stress related problems. I work quickly to reduce distress or panic. My style is focused and collaborative, helping people become empowered to achieve their goals by tapping into their strengths.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, emotionally drained, or weighed down by chronic pain, illness, stress, or life changes, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with come to therapy unsure how to move forward and simply wanting to feel more like themselves again. My goal is to offer you a space where you feel supported, heard, and never judged. I believe trust, acceptance, and genuine connection are at the heart of good therapy. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what you’re carrying. My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative. Together, we work to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, whether that is anxiety, depression, overthinking, emotional pain, or the mental toll of physical pain and life stressors. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and a person-centered approach to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and better equipped to cope. I have experience helping individuals with anxiety, depression, chronic pain and illness, injury recovery, life transitions, and some of the emotional struggles that can come with aging. I also offer a free first session so we can meet and see if I feel like the right fit for you, because the relationship we build is one of the most important parts of therapy. You do not have to carry this alone. I’m here to help you move forward with more support, clarity, and confidence.

I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults create meaningful, lasting change. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and everyday stress. Because one person’s struggles can affect the entire family, I use a compassionate, holistic approach that honors each client’s unique experiences, relationships, and strengths. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), along with person-centered and strengths-based techniques, I offer a warm, supportive environment. I believe meaningful progress happens when therapy extends beyond the session, which is why I work closely with parents and caregivers to reinforce skills, strengthen relationships, and support lasting growth at home and in everyday life. I believe therapy should feel personal and tailored to you. I integrate evidence-based strategies that align with your unique needs, goals, and stage of life, with a focus on helping you create meaningful, lasting change while feeling safe, understood, and supported along the way.

I want to first thank you for looking at my page here. I am excited for you, that you are taking this step of research to find counseling for either you or another. Taking this step can be mind-boggling, looking for the right therapist. Working as a Mental Health Counselor for several years, I have come to believe that my purpose as a therapist, is to assist each individual in reaching their full potential in life, becoming who they were always meant to be. My personal approach to counseling is individualized for each person that I work with. This process entails building a therapeutic relationship which includes empathy, understanding, trust and encouragement. I believe that these traits are absolutely indispensable before any real work can be accomplished in therapy. From there, the process includes getting down to the core difficulties you are experiencing in life, identifying the causes and then addressing these issues by setting up goals and then objectives and interventions to reach these goals. This may sound complicated, but it isn't. It is not easy. it is really just changing mindsets and moving forward with new thoughts, beliefs, and ideals that help you to get past difficulties. In other words, it is identifying, challenging and changing habitual thinking that tends to hold you back in life. My theoretical approach is predominantly based on client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. I am also trained in Exposure Response Prevention, which is designed specifically to treat obsessive compulsive disorder. Although I tend to lean to these approaches, I do consider myself to be eclectic, meaning that I will draw from different therapeutic approaches as needed for each individual.

I promote a safe environment that encourages empathy, insight, and empowerment. It is important to build a trusting relationship which will assist with working through the presenting issue(s). I utilize psychodynamic techniques which means I not only look at helping to work through what is currently not going right, but also finding the root of the issue(s). I believe the knowledge gained towards what has caused these struggles will create a longer-term change. The aim is to not just to help to fix the initial symptoms, but to also create tools to use then and in future situations.
