My work is person-centered, meaning I see you with unwavering positive regard and curiosity, where I believe you are the expert of your life, and I am the observer. I am here to walk beside you on your counseling journey. I meet you where you are without judgment. I utilize the wellness model to understand holistically all aspects of your life and their impact on your mental and physical health. I am not interested in “what’s wrong with you” but sincerely intrigued to know “what’s happened in your life”. Tell me your story. I am here to listen.

I help people untangle the “why” behind their patterns—so they can choose the “what now” with clarity and courage.

My approach blends the deep empathy of Mr. Fred Rogers, with the no-shame attitudes of Dr. Ruth, the humor of Dan Savage, and the insight of Brené Brown.

I'm here to help you explore your inner world with curiosity, not judgment—especially when it comes to sexuality, relationships, and the parts of yourself you’ve been told are “too much” or “not enough”.

In our work we’ll look at how early attachments shaped the way you love, trust, and show up in the world. We’ll explore how habits, desires, and defenses may have formed to protect you—and whether they’re still serving you today. And we’ll consider your lived experience through a biopsychosocial lens, meaning we honor how identity, culture, systems, and access to power intersect with your mental health to from a “big picture” perspective.

Whether you’re navigating identity, coming out, struggling with shame, healing from trauma, or simply feeling stuck or disconnected from a deeper sense of purpose, you're not broken. You’re becoming.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are ready to make sense of their story, deepen their relationships (including with themselves), and embrace a life of authenticity, connection, and meaning.

My space is affirming, judgement-free, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and kink/poly/ENM-aware.
