Welcome to Scenic Heights Counseling

About us

A little bit about me: 
I'm the owner and sole therapist of Scenic Heights Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) certified sex therapist. I specialize in sex therapy and therapy for adult individuals and couples/relationships. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy when provided with a safe and affirming space to explore the issues that come with being human. It’s my goal to provide that space for you and to help you get back in touch with your authentic self.
 My approach to therapy is fundamentally client-centered, embracing the idea that you are the expert on your own life. I believe in working collaboratively, ensuring you are actively involved in each step of our work together. Additionally, I incorporate a systemic perspective, recognizing that your experiences are deeply influenced by your relationships, community, and cultural background. This holistic view allows us to address not just the symptoms, but the root causes of your concerns. 

Therapy with me is a blend of compassion, humor, intuition, and a deep respect for your unique story and experiences. I tailor each session to meet your specific needs and circumstances, drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques to support your growth and healing. I am deeply committed to inclusivity and the affirmation of diverse identities and relationship structures. My practice is a judgment-free zone that welcomes individuals and couples of all orientations, identities, and expressions. Here, you can expect to find understanding, respect, and a genuine commitment to helping you achieve your goals.

Whether you are navigating challenges in intimacy, exploring your sexual identity, or seeking to enhance your relationship, I am here to support and empower you. Together, we can uncover the barriers to your fulfillment and work towards the meaningful, satisfying sexual and emotional life you deserve.

I'm thrilled that your journey to find support has brought you to Scenic Heights.
