Many of my clients come from experienced childhood trauma, addiction, or employment stressors. I frequently work with clients facing intimacy and sexual health challenges—low/mismatched desire, infidelity, sexual exploration, fertility-related stress, or sexual functioning issues—helping them create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My work centers on helping you understand your patterns, heal your pain, and step into a life that feels authentic, empowered, and emotionally free. I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a safe, compassionate place to explore who they are and what they truly need.

I offer EMDR & sex-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and groups. I have expertise in intergenerational trauma, family estrangement & navigating relationships, substance use, military culture, and sex/sexuality concerns. I’m passionate about my work with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folx.

If you’re seeking a therapist who understands the complexity of trauma, relationships, sexuality, and identity, I’m here to support you with warmth and expertise. You deserve a space where your story is honored and your healing is possible. My gift is holding a space where you can heal. I look forward to sharing that gift with you.
