As we work together, we will create a space built on trust to explore personal identity, self-expression, sexuality issues, and relational issues with family, friends, and intimate partners. I specialize in navigating life changes, and burnout related to chronic illness, grief, and loss, as well as helping you to deepen authentic personal expression with yourself and with others.

You are the expert of your life, and I will provide a supportive and empowered approach to assist you as we work together.
