I have extensive experience in treating depression, anxiety, gender issues, and challenges related to compulsive sexual behavior and partner betrayal trauma. As a therapist informed by the Carnes and Minwalla approaches, I specialize in providing partner-sensitive support to individuals healing from trauma and abuse. My goal is to assist clients in navigating change, life transitions, and the various adjustments we encounter as we age and evolve in our understanding of ourselves, our gender, sexuality, and relationships. I offer knowledgeable and compassionate support to the LGBTQ+, kink, and alternative lifestyle communities.

I provide compassionate and empowering support for challenges related to identity and relationships. I am experienced in the Minwalla Trauma Informed / Partner Trauma model and an Associate Sex Addiction Therapist (ASAT) skilled in the Carnes Model. I offer assistance with Therapeutic Formal Disclosures and facilitate a weekly partners group.

Through our collaboration, you will examine how your life and general habits serve you—or hold you back—and gain the empowerment to make meaningful changes. I firmly believe in your ability to break free from unhelpful patterns, leveraging our experiences and openness as sources of strength. It would be a privilege to support you on this journey!
