I grew up with a gay cousin who has been out and proud since age 16. I have witnessed the challenges he faced over the years. Our family has always accepted him (and his partners).  I look forward to assisting others going through the coming out process.


I primarily work with individuals seeking to make postive changes in their lives. Almost all of the individuals I have worked with have some depression, anxiety and worthiness issues. I also enjoy working with both family and partnership relationship issues. I have also experienced success with people challenged by trauma and abuse.


I thrive on seeing individuals implement change in their lives and relationships achieving greater degrees of functionality and success. I validate and celebrate accomplishments and help my clients visualize and achieve the future they desire.
