About

I am a genuine, direct, and dedicated therapist interested in helping to guide you in finding personal fulfillment and happiness in the relationships in your life. As an LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist, I am open to working with individuals from all walks of life, races, spiritual/religious affiliations, and cultural identities.

I work from an integrative family systems, client-centered approach to therapy. I am not the "smile and nod" type of therapist as I believe wholeheartedly that neutrality will only go so far in the therapy arena. I believe in operating in a manner that is respectful yet gets to the core of the presenting concerns at hand.

Whether the challenges you are facing pertain to your relationship with yourself, your partner, and/or friends and family members, my uniquely provocative approach is designed to help you traverse life's most complex challenges. It is my personal and professional philosophy that life's challenges are best navigated by facing the storms of life head on. If you are looking for a candid, multiculturally-sensitive, LGBTQIA friendly, and down-to-earth therapist, you have come to the right place.

I am dually licensed as a Supervising Professional Clinical Counselor (PCC-S) and a Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (IMFT) who has earned the AAMFT Approved Supervision Designation. I am also a nationally certified Sex Therapist and a Certified Supervisor of aspiring sex therapists and counselors through AASECT.
