I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life, relationships, and personal growth. Specializing in sex therapy, men's issues, and LGBTQAI+ concerns, I bring a nuanced, empathetic, and evidence-based approach to my practice. My work is grounded in fostering emotional awareness, self-efficacy, and authentic connection, empowering clients to overcome barriers and achieve their goals. I serve adults seeking support for a wide range of challenges, including intimacy and relationship concerns, emotional regulation, identity, expiration, and personal empowerment. Whether you are an individual grappling with cognitive restorations or a couple working to rebuild trust, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where meaningful change is possible. Through my integrative approach, which includes CBT, REBT and sex therapy techniques, I tailor each session to your unique needs. My goal is to help you identify and reframe limiting beliefs, strengthen communication, and Foster resilience in the face of life's challenges. The impact of our work together can be transformative. Clients often find greater clarity, deeper connections, and a renewed sense of purpose and agency in their lives. My practice is about more than just addressing problems- it's about creating opportunities for growth, healing, and thriving. Whether you're seeking to enhance intimacy, redefine your relationship with yourself, or navigate a significant life transition, I'm here to support you on your journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we focus on. Understanding your concerns and goals. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and any immediate challenges you're facing. I'll ask some questions to get to know you better, including your background, current experiences, and what you're hoping to achieve through the therapy. This session is about building a connection and establishing a sense of trust. You'll have the opportunity to share at your own pace- there's no pressure to disclose more than you feel comfortable with. Together, we'll explore what's most important to you and begin crafting a plan for our work together, including setting clear, attainable goals tailored to your needs. Above all, my aim is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel understood and empowered to take the first steps towards growth and healing.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider come for my ability to adapt to each client's unique needs while fostering an environment of genuine trust and collaboration. I excel at asking the right questions to uncover the deeper challenges clients face, helping them explore issues in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. I am particularly skilled at balancing compassion with accountability, allowing clients to feel supported while being gently challenged to the grow. I bring a strong understanding of the interplay between emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns, helping clients navigate complex topics such as relationships, identity, and intimacy with clarity and purpose. Another strength lies in my ability to simplify complex concepts into practical, actionable steps that clients can apply in their daily lives. Whether through tailored therapeutic techniques or creative problem solving, I strive to help clients build the tools and confidence they need to face challenges and achieve meaningful change.
