Hello! My name is Lina. I am a Hispanic mom from Texas to 3 young adults and a marriage veteran of 20 yrs. Prior to moving to SC, I gained extensive experience working with individuals & families in crisis. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate with North & South Carolina & I specialize in sex and relationship therapy. I possess a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, specializing in systemic sex therapy, and I am currently pursuing a doctorate in Clinical Sexology. What is sex therapy? It is purely talk therapy. Sexual/relationship challenges impact and are impacted by the various challenges in your life.

I have a deep understanding of how sexual challenges can affect all aspects of your life, including your self-worth and that of your partner’s as well. I use my ability to translate each partner's inner world, allowing them insight they can then share with their partner, which helps them develop healthier patterns of interaction and a stronger bond.

I am a person-centered therapist, trained in a variety of methods to accommodate each client individually, such as Emotionally-Focused & Gottman Method Couples Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), and the use of tarot cards in therapy. Call me today! I look forward to helping you strengthen your most cherished relationships.

I specialize in systemic sex therapy which is a comprehensive approach. When your sexual issues cannot be attributed to a medical cause, I use couples therapy to understand the stress that sexual dysfunctions place on all of your relationships, identities, and sense of self and the impact of your relationships, identities, and sense of self on your sexual functioning.

Strength-Based

I use a strengths based approach and I am an EMDR informed therapist. I will help you adapt all the strengths and resources you already possess to help you continue solving problems on your own. I also help you identify and become aware of the emotions you feel, how they show up in your body, and control them, so they don't control you.
