I'm a Psychotherapist with over 25yrs experience, and a specialization/cert. in Sex Therapy. I work with LGBTQ+ and heterosexual people on a variety of relational and mental health issues, as well as sexual and intimacy concerns. I approach my work from a sexual health model and values driven perspective. I work with clients on consensual non-monogamy/polyam, kink, BDSM, as well as sexual health challenges such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, desire discrepencies, etc. I continue to work with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, as well as navigating life! I am not working with couples at this time.
Completing post graduate training in sexual health/ sex therapy through the Univ. of Michigan (then serving as Director of, and Core Faculty in, the Program) allows me to provide sex therapy from an informed and current perspective. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for clients to get help with issues that can often be difficult to talk about.
Through a variety of treatment modalities, including behavioral, relational, and psychoeducation, I work collaboratively with my clients to find the ways to best address their concerns. Safety and confidentiality, as well as overall health and wellness, guide my work with clients. Although you may feel overwhelmed now, I can help you reach a healthier place.
