About me
I respect you as the expert of your own life. Together, we will identify and explore areas in need of evolving, healing or balancing.
Everyone struggles sometimes, but when you find yourself struggling most of the time, it is important to seek out the help you need to move through your difficulties. Taking the first step toward healing is challenging for many people. Coming this far in your search for a counselor shows you are ready to move forward on your journey toward healing. I believe you have the inner wisdom to know what is best for you and I am there to support and guide you through what we together identify as areas in need of evolution, healing, or balance.
My clinical background has afforded me the opportunity to gain experience working with diverse populations and treating clients with a wide range of mental, behavioral, and emotional issues. My areas of expertise include, treating anxiety disorders, sex and sexuality, men’s issues and issues specific to the LGBTQIA+ community and relationships, including working with people practicing ethical non-monogamy and alternative relationship styles. I am also a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and have advanced training in sex therapy.
In a safe and supportive environment where you are free to be your most authentic self, I am waiting for you to begin this journey together. Why wait another day when you have the courage now to take the next step toward regaining the balance and wellness in your life you deserve. Counseling can sometimes be difficult, but when walking this path with me, you will not feel alone in the process.
