I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW 23383) and psychotherapist, with a focus on issues related to human sexuality. Connection, intimacy, desire, love, and joy are the things in life that enrich our human experience. When we struggle with these, life can feel very lonely. I believe that you have endless potential, but sometimes life can get in the way. My hope is to get some of the muck out of the way so you can be your best self on any given day.

I used a model of therapy called AEDP which focuses on healing. I am also a Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and I focus on issues related to human sexuality, including, but not limited to: sexual functioning, sexual trauma, sexual identity, sexual behaviors, arousal concerns, desire discrepancy in relationships, issues with orgasm, and issues with sexual pain.

I'm excited to help you flourish in life - you're probably ready for it! Reach out and let's see if our new relationship feels safe, inviting, and a space to be courageous in the face of the adversity you've experienced.
