Gandhi said "What we think, that we become.” As an Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT) and Couples Therapist, I specialize in sexual health and well-being, relationship health and well-being, helping clients develop pleasure, play and passion. Would you like to be happy, achieve your dreams and live the best life possible? Find compassionate support, guidance and encouragement in a discreet, safe, warm, welcoming environment. I have twenty-two years of experience (graduated with Honors: Magna Cum Laude) helping clients with relationships, sexuality, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, parenting, substance use, illnesses and more.
As a Certified Sex Therapist and Couples Therapist, my counseling style includes narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness (MBCT) and evidenced-based practices, earning the reputation of being a highly effective professional, setting clients at ease. Check my reviews on Healthgrades.

As treatment modalities, I use family systems therapy, strategic family therapy, narrative therapy, MBCT and more to help families, couples and individuals. I work from an ethical position to provide to clients as much therapy as is needed to meet their identified goals, and no more than that, so that once they reach their goals, they let me know and they are done. They are welcome back if needed.
