Sexuality is an integral part of our being. I help individuals and couples explore their relationships, sexuality, and sex. Using an integrative approach, we will explore the interrelation of the brain, mind, and relationships. I strive to create a safe space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their experiences without the fear of being unvalidated or shamed and where they can embrace their current reality while creating more fulfilling experiences.

There are so many messages that you’ve probably lived with growing up that don’t work for you anymore. Messages that make it hard to be present, to get things done, or make you feel like you're in "survival mode". Maybe you’re expected to move on from some hard times – or hard losses. Or maybe you’ve always had to be the “Perfect One”, the “Black Sheep” or the “Silent One” in your family. But there’s so much more to you than your struggles or the labels that have been placed on you. You don't have to live life feeling overwhelmed with negative thoughts, numbness, or expectations every day. You deserve to live authentically.

If you have been struggling with your mental health or you want to take your personal development to the next level, this is the right place for you! Life takes us through different paths and challenges us the whole way through, and though you have survived so far, it does not mean you need to do it alone. You can get the right tools and a helping hand to go through this path.

When I imagine the “ideal client” I do not see a specific person. I see is someone who desires change and is willing to put in the work to attain it. I imagine someone who is willing to be vulnerable, open-minded, and trusting of the therapeutic process. This person understands that there will be hurdles along the way, but they recognize that they do not have to face those hurdles alone. It is my responsibility as a therapist to create an environment where all my clients feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I hope to get the chance to help those who allow me to do so.
