Most of us have been taught not to talk about sex and our bodies, and many of us have been taught to be ashamed of our bodies and what we think about, fantasize about, and do sexually.  I believe that everyone is a sexual being, and that sexual expression is a healthy part of all of our lives.  I enjoy working with folks on issues of desire, desire differences in relationships, healing from sexual trauma, sexual behavior that feels out of control, sexual self-esteem and body image, sexual function concerns, kinky and poly experiences, gender-related concerns and more.

I am a PA licensed psychologist and a PA certified school psychologist with over 25 years of experience working in public and private school settings, as well as providing behavioral health assessment and support through Behavioral Health Rehabilitative Services. I am skilled in the assessment of individuals with cognitive/learning challenges, emotional needs, behavioral challenges and individuals on the Autism Spectrum. I am qualified to administer assessment in all of these areas, including ADOS-2 assessment.

I help children and adults understand and heal from trauma and anxiety. Trauma can be complex, painful and difficult to navigate alone. It may often feel like things will always be the way they are now. In the counseling process, we will work together to understand trauma, its effects, and what we can do to make changes that work for you and your family. Once we learn about trauma together, we then build on your strengths and face the fear together to make the changes you want to make.

My goal is to help guide people in discovering their innate strengths in finding solutions to their struggles. Whether you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, adapting to life and/or situational changes or feeling like you lost yourself in taking care of others....I offer a place of non judgment, and support alternative therapies.

We are all human beings going through the experience of life together, although in the current age, it seems as though there is a movement of separateness, judgment, and shame. Presently, this trend is causing an epidemic of underlying unhappiness. Ask yourself: Am I having problems with the following?: **Getting up and facing the day? **Dealing with "difficult" people in my life? **Being vulnerable and sharing your feelings? ** Navigating romance and intimacy? **Wondering "Who am I?" and " Why am I here?" **Shutting off negative thinking?** Letting go of the need to be right or what "should" be? **Living in the present moment?**
