I have a passion for working with individuals and couples in the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy providing individuals with support and guidance as they learn to understand and accept their gender and/or sexual identity. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples as they explore consensual non-monogamy and how to effectively navigate an open relationship.

Therapist

I’m a licensed social worker who believes healing happens in safe, supportive relationships. I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating stress, trauma, emotional challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood.

For clients who request it, I am comfortable integrating faith-informed perspectives into our work while always respecting diverse beliefs and backgrounds. I honor that healing can look different for everyone, and I meet clients where they are.

I see therapy as a partnership; one rooted in trust, growth, and real-life change.

Choosing the right therapist is a significant step toward the life you want to lead, and I’m so glad you’re here.

With over 20 years of experience in the social work field my approach is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: I want to see you win. I don't just view therapy as a clinical process; I see it as a partnership designed to bridge the gap between where you are now and the fullness of your potential.

Therapist

I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to talk through life’s challenges. For the past 19 years, I have worked with individuals and families navigating difficult moments, helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed strength. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I have a special passion for supporting people through grief and major life transitions.

Life can bring unexpected changes such as the loss of a loved one, relationship shifts, career changes, or other transitions that leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can process your experiences, feel truly heard, and begin to move forward at your own pace.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing grief, anxiety, stress, and life adjustments. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself and feel supported as we work together toward healing and growth.
