In a safe environment, I support change by identifying and building upon the strengths of clients as individuals, couples, and in groups. I am passionate about working towards reducing the stigma surrounding mental and sexual health. As a therapist, the diverse clients I see address topics that are related but not limited to sexual trauma, couples work, LGBTQ+ concerns, kink and BDSM, non-traditional intimate relationships, and sexual wellness, education, and exploration. I aid in the development of skills to explore and challenge difficult emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that become a barrier to living a flourishing life.
I am an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and my goal in therapy is to empower and advocate for clients to live a healthy and functional life. I work with teens and adults to increase healthy sexual behaviors and understand the spectrum of sexuality and what it looks like to be living those values.
Please reach out to me if you are interested in working together! Email is the best way to contact me about therapy services. I look forward to hearing from you!
