Introduction

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted by people-pleasing in their relationships, hiding parts of who they are, navigating a big life shift, or struggling with OCD. My goal is to offer a safe and compassionate space for my clients to better understand these experiences, learn helpful tools, and find clarity and hope in the present. I know working with a therapist is a very vulnerable undertaking, so I do all I can to facilitate a safe, comfortable, respectful, and worthwhile experience. I’m kind and empathetic, and I also value humor and the lightness it can bring to the healing process. I specialize in working with clients navigating C-PTSD, OCD, spiritual or existential concerns, and feeling stuck in relationship patterns. As a gay therapist, I strive to create an especially understanding and affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients, as well as for women who intentionally want to work with a male therapist. Your patterns don’t define you, but they do hold valuable information. Together, we’ll explore them with compassion and curiosity. I offer a nonjudgmental space to process your emotions, develop skills, and strengthen your trust in yourself. Let’s set up a 15-minute consultation to see if I’m the right fit to support you in your empowerment work. I am licensed in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Virginia.
