Pain is an unfortunate reality of the human experience. Sometimes, our attempts to control or avoid pain, whether it's physical, psychological, or otherwise, also pulls us away from other things in our lives that are important to us, resulting in a less fulfilling life. Your decision to pursue therapy is a significant step towards finding a more workable way to manage the things in your life that cause pain. My therapeutic approach is focused on learning to step out of the struggle against your pain and use the strengths you already possess to put you in the driver's seat of your life and be your best and most genuine self.
I am an AASECT certified sex therapist and specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to help you navigate your pain. I specialize in sexual dysfunction, relationship difficulties, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. No two people are exactly alike so we'll work together to cater treatment for you.
My approach to treatment is collaborative, supportive, and strength-based, to promote the autonomy and skills to be your best self. I strive to create a warm, accepting environment where you can engage in genuine self-reflection and exploration to create the richness and meaning you desire in your life.
