Are relationships a big source of your emotional pain? Working hard to find someone and it’s not working? Tempted to violate an agreement or have already done so? Maybe you’re overusing substances to cope or your loved one is battling addiction?

When in these situations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want assistance. I imagine you want to feel grounded, to not have outside situations or people dictate your every move or mood. You want to be happier, contented, and satisfied. You are wanting to be and feel calm. I can help guide you to get to where you want to be.

I am invested in your emotional health and happiness and will assist you in finding solution and solace by exploring embedded beliefs, automatic thoughts, and attachment issues that are shaping your outside life. I encourage you to set up a consultation to experience my result-oriented style in person and see if working together feels like a good fit.

I work with adults of all ages, genders, sexualities and relationship styles. I believe in healing through relationship, and that you are the expert on your own life. I use this existential approach to help you examine where you are on your journey and how you can use your own strengths to get to where you would like to be. I have a special interest in helping people at the intersections of their lives, when one season of their life is changing and another one starting. I can draw from many different treatment modalities to help you reach your goals. I take most insurances and have Saturday appointments.

I also work with those who identify as being “Black Sheep” - or what I call “Black Unicorns”, trailblazers and family-disrupters or first generation pioneers, in addition to either formally un-parented or under-parented adults.

I am a woman who is comfortable working with either adults or teens. What matters most is YOU the client, knowing you are in a comfortable and safe space - ready to make the changes which will set you on the path towards YOUR authentic life. I spent ten years working as a manager in the corporate world, before a life-changing journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro inspired me to change the direction of my life and pursue passion, personal reward and adventure. It has not always been easy, I fall down, I get up again, I process the feedback, and I move forward. Coaching has supplied me with the tools to equip others to strive towards their own personal goals, whether it is finding the part of you which you lost long ago, or if you find yourself ready to set aside emotional baggage it no longer serves you to carry. I do not limit or seek to “fix” my clients. This does not mean the “fix” will not come. It will. All my clients are already perfect souls with unlimited potential. I am results focused. I have no interest in signing you up for life. I want to work with you, starting at point A, and ending at point B. You WILL succeed. Your goal might be anxiety relief, the formation of a career goal, weight and self esteem management or the elimination of a phobia. Or anything else. It really does not matter what you bring to our table. You will succeed. I will simply be your guide. I am comfortable in both private and business coaching environments. I have experience presenting to large groups, and am available for motivational presentations. To book a session (your first session is always free), request a rate card, or to chat to me directly please make contact via email. The first one hour session is always free, giving us a chance to meet each other without pressure and assess the potential of a future client-coach relationship. I hope to meet you soon!

I am a licensed master social worker providing psychotherapy services to individuals of all ages.

I am a clinical social worker that focuses on providing therapy to those that are in the LGBTQIA, kink, and poly communities. I have previous experience working with those in the unhoused community and folks in the perinatal stages. My lived experience includes being part of the LGBTQIA population and living in a larger/fat body. Oftentimes my practice focuses on mitigating the impact of oppression, empowering clients, and assisting with behavioral changes that may reduce symptoms of mental illness. I usually serve individuals that are 14 years and older that are experiencing anything from symptoms of depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, trauma, disordered eating, and more. I utilize different therapeutic modalities depending on the client that I am working with and what symptoms they are experiencing.

I am here to help clients build the tools, resilience, and knowledge to grow and thrive. Clients deserve a clinician that is informed about who they are and the community they live in. I want to provide mental health care that helps you handle the stresses of life, past traumas, finding who you are, where you belong, and anything life throws at you. I am here to get through it together.

For the past nine years, I have been providing counseling and assessment services for a variety of clients. As a counselor, I am well-versed in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and trauma. I work with individual adults. I am a LGBTQ+, kink, and polyam-friendly therapist. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). While I draw on CBT techniques, my therapeutic style is person-centered. My colleagues describe me as a “warm and fuzzy” therapist. My job as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can explore and “organize” your thoughts and feelings so they become clearer and more manageable. I practice unconditional positive regard, which means that nothing you share with me is going to negatively impact the way I think or feel about you. I want therapy to be a place where you can be your authentic self.

My goal is to combat the stigmas impacting marginalized communities through access to mental health resources. These stigmas create barriers to treatment, contribute to a lack of culturally competent resources, infringe upon a person’s bodily autonomy, and contribute to discriminatory incidents.

Specialties: substance use disorders, relationship dynamics and patterns, anxiety, depression, trauma, alternative relationship and lifestyles, and erotic trade industry.

Populations: I counsel all communities and specialize in non-monogamous relationships, individuals who have participated in the erotic trade industry, and the kink and queer communities.

The goal of my practice is to help you feel better and accept yourself; not just by addressing anxiety and depression and avoiding the things that feel bad but also by engaging with what brings you pleasure, joy and a sense of connection. This can be through an exploration of sexuality or through whatever you find in your life that makes you feel passionate and alive.

In my office, you will find that difference is not just accepted but celebrated.

I work with individuals and people in relationships to develop a loving, accepting and kind method of communication with each other. Together we can change behaviors, resolve issues, improve sexual functioning, manage anxiety, depression and other complex feelings and cope better with pain and suffering.

Working together is always a unique experience customized to your needs. I have experience using psychodynamic, mindfulness, Imago and cognitive behavioral approaches to therapy and I try to choose the methodology that suits best for the individuals in my office.

I have a special interest in supporting people through issues related to sexual exploration, sexual functioning, sexual identity and gender identity. Clients who are in non-monogamous relationships, swinger, polyamorous and/or kink relationships are welcome.
