I specialize in and deeply enjoy assisting couples and individuals in the LGBTQIA+ and ENM communities.

My specialty is working with busy Moms' of color, struggling with depression and anxiety along with couples (dating, premarital, married).
I know that asking for help can feel like a burden sometimes. Do you feel like you have to be “everything” to everyone but feel alone when your in need? Are you struggling to say “no” then resent your yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for you or your dreams? Do you feel “stuck” after giving so much and then realize your not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or stuck about our next move.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist (CMAT), I'm trained in many addictions and compulsive behavior, as well as substance addictions.
I also specialize in sexual problems, affairs, rebuilding romance, and emotional and sexual intimacy. I have advanced training in sexual addiction treatment. If clients are open to it, I often give them handouts or homework to do during the week. I don't believe in forcing the client to do something that isn't working. Together, we'll figure things out.
