I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most meaningful challenges. My work centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and intimacy concerns with compassion and authenticity.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, older adults, and individuals exploring diverse relationship structures. I'm particularly skilled at addressing self-esteem, communication patterns, and the deeper emotional work around guilt, shame, and forgiveness. I also support clients navigating life transitions—including midlife shifts, divorce, career concerns, and aging—as well as trauma recovery, body image, and sexuality.

My approach honors the full complexity of your identity and experience. I create a space where you can explore questions of life purpose, family patterns, and personal values without judgment. Whether you're working through attachment wounds, caregiver stress, or questions about commitment and desire, I'm here to help you build greater self-love and authenticity.

I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to support insight and sustainable change at your own pace. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine care, curiosity, and respect as you move toward greater wholeness and connection.

I can help you learn to communicate better in all of your relationships, feel more connected to the important people in your life, create a sense of hope & direction in your life, relieve feelings of frustration, depression, or anxiety & enhance all relationships, sexual or other. We can help give you the tools to change your thinking, behavior, & feelings to create positive outcomes forever.
