I am particularly attentive to the unique experiences of women from immigrant communities.
Have you always put the needs of others at the expense of neglecting your own well-being in the process? This pattern can leave you feeling drained and disconnected from your own identity and emotions. When you do try to prioritize yourself, you are met with an overwhelming sense of guilt. These tendiences arise from beliefs that others' needs are more important than your own. Family dynamics, societal influence, and cultural expectations further reinforce such narratives. Therapy will be a tool for you to connect with your authentic self and find a balance between fulfilling your needs and responsibilities, without any guilt.

My sex therapy practice is primarily focused on female sexual health; however my clinical experience includes extensive work with individuals on the gender spectrum.
If you are struggling with sexual functioning, such as pelvic pain, painful intercourse, low desire, arousal, difficulty reaching orgasm, or erectile functioning, I may be able to help you. I have over 20 years of clinical experience treating these issues and have seen many successful cases resolve through sex therapy. I also treat anxiety and depression, and post-traumatic stress resulting from sexual trauma. Reaching out for help can feel daunting, and in fact many will avoid seeking support due to feeling shame or fear of judgement. My goal is to provide a safe and inclusive environment and guide you on your healing journey.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
