Do you want to self-love better? Relationship better? Feel empowered and grounded? Love and be loved with confidence? Start over in a new career or new partnership? End negative patterns that stunt you? “Health” truly “is wealth,” and we’re fortunate to enjoy the biggest humankind awareness to date that this too includes mental health.
I help individual clients and couples/ partners grow their strengths and challenge negative patterns that contribute to unhappiness. I have additional training in sex therapy and cultivate a sex-positive clinical alliance with all clients.
My areas of focus include: anxiety, depression, self esteem, individual adult issues (college and/or career stress, relationships, self care, self empowerment, sexuality), couples/ partners (pre-marital, newlyweds, parenting, blended families, ethical non-monogamy, interracial/ interfaith relationships, LGBTQ+ ally, sex therapy, sex positive, kink-informed).
