Every person deserves to be truly seen and heard without the fear of judgment or the pressure to have all the right answers. I have dedicated my practice to creating a space where there are no right or wrong ways to feel—only room to heal, grow, and be met exactly where you are. I specialize in supporting elementary-age children, neurodivergent youth, and women who are navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relational challenges. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by helping them find the stability and self-esteem they deserve.

I believe therapy should feel like a human connection rather than a clinical process. I work closely with parents as well, helping them find the right language and tools to connect deeply with their children and build a more supportive home environment. My clients often describe me as real, relatable, and refreshingly down-to-earth. When I am not in the office, I enjoy the simple restoration that comes with a long walk or a good book. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have a partner who is genuinely invested in their unique journey.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I help men navigate the pressures of high-demand careers and the challenges that can impact their relationships and personal lives. If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, disconnected from the people who matter most, or caught in unhealthy coping patterns, I provide a direct, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where lasting change is possible.

I specialize in helping men who struggle with pornography and sex addiction, as well as the shame, secrecy, and relationship pain that often accompany these behaviors. Together, we'll identify the underlying issues driving these patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, rebuild trust and connection, and develop practical tools to help you live with greater integrity, purpose, and confidence.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, but honestly, my credentials are just the beginning. What I bring to every session is genuine care and the understanding that getting here probably wasn't simple — most people have been struggling quietly for longer than they'd like to admit. So if you're reading this, I want you to know: reaching out was brave, and you're in a safe place to grow.
