I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist (CST), currently pursuing a doctorate in Psychology. In 2020, I founded Modern Sex, an organization devoted to providing resources for individuals seeking mental and sexual health support. My practice is guided by a trauma-informed approach grounded in experience working with marginalized communities. I utilize evidence-based modalities and integrate existential, relational, and humanistic therapeutic frameworks into my treatment planning.
I specialize in sexual health for all ages and support individuals across varied backgrounds and identities. I also treat clients in non-mononormative relationships, helping them build relational skills and stronger connections.
I apply Gottman techniques and take an integrative approach to meeting the needs of individuals in a variety of relationship contexts. I am committed to providing a safe and authentic environment for clients, which supports learning, introspection, and personal development.
