About

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 5 years of experience in psychotherapy and an additional 5 years working in the mental health field. My clients present with a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, difficulty in relationships, poor self-image, and difficulties navigating life transitions or other high-stress situations. I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking greater work-life balance and those who want to live a healthier lifestyle, those struggling with issues related to polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships, and those who have experienced developmental or relational trauma or sexual assault.

I offer a space where clients feel empowered to utilize their personal strengths to live their most meaningful lives and develop healthy and fulfilling relationships. I am a sex positive, kink-aware, poly-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist. My style is warm and genuine, and my clients usually tell me that we laugh more than they expect. My typical approach combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, and I have found mindfulness to be a powerful tool for almost every client as well as myself. I want to help you become more attuned to your emotions, needs, and desires, and work together to challenge the barriers standing in the way of growth and take practical steps to overcome them.
