Forest Beach Counseling Services, LLC

I offer an empathetic and nonjudgmental space for marginalized populations such as LGBTQIA+ or ND folx, clients in consensual and ethical non-monogamy/polyamory relationships, and/or are members of BDSM/kink communities. I work with adolescents through adults to address struggles related to anxiety, depression, gender/sexual identity exploration, and trauma.

I am 100% committed to your growth, with whatever that looks like for you. You’re the expert on your life and I’m just that outside perspective that hopefully brings a fresh set of eyes. Non- judgmental eyes of course. Therapy is the place where you get to let it all out and lay it on the table. I’m the person that helps you sift through the mess we dump on the table and shines a light on the diamonds I know are hiding in there. I'm a firm believer in genuineness and authenticity as a therapist so I like to be up front with clients that you will for sure hear some 4 letter words from me!

The folx I’ve found that are that magical fit as clients for me tend to be highly motivated for change. They recognize that hard work is what’s going to facilitate that change and are ready to take the initiative to get started. They’re sick of being stuck in the same negative patterns and know something needs to throw a wrench in the wheel for that to happen. I’ve been told I’m a great wrench…ok, maybe not in those words, but I’m great at helping clients become unstuck from the negativity.
