I love being a part of someone's journey and being witness to their growth, achievements, and change. Showing up for ourselves is not something we're often taught, we're more often shown how to be there for everyone else first. I'm here to help you feel better and do better.

Essentially my goal as a culturally aware LMFT and AASECT certified sex therapist is to help people navigate their relationships with themselves, others, and their identity. When I founded Bare Conversations, I wanted clients to be able to see themselves in me and feel understood by someone who can relate. I am proudly sex-positive, LGBTQIA+, Kink, BDSM, and polyamory-affirming. Bare Conversations is a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their true identities and innermost thoughts. If you're ready to dig deep and make some big changes, I'm the therapist for you.

I enjoy working with clients who may feel something is missing in their life, they don’t feel satisfied with where they are at, may feel overwhelmed or stressed, or just can’t exactly pinpoint why they don’t feel they are at their best. Low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, conflict, significant life stressors and much more can easily deter us from our goals in life and it takes some work to get us back on track. I believe in self-empowerment and a more holistic approach to overall well-being. With a strong collaborative, strength based, and client-centered approach, I can help you begin the life you deserve.

You just survived another fight. Feeling unheard, unappreciated and completely worn out? You yearn to have the marriage you were promised on your wedding day. But at this point, you'd be happy to escape with a shred of self-worth. While it feels like divorce makes you look like a failure to family and friends, staying in this loveless marriage is sucking the soul out of you. You know divorce could cost you everything you and your partner built - not to mention what it will do to the kids. The feelings of emptiness and loneliness is overwhelming. You have nothing left to give. Both choices seem like a lose-lose situation.

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapists
Who is ABA therapy for?
ABA therapy is most widely applied to teach basic behavioral, communication, and social skills to children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. It may also be used to help people undergoing rehabilitation following brain injury. It uses reward-based learning techniques to impart essential life skills. ABA is also used in the treatment of some other conditions. One is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , to help children overcome difficulties with concentration and controlling impulsive behaviors. For people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, it is sometimes used to help them overcome compulsive behavior. ABA therapy is also sometimes used in cases of PTSD, to help people turn to positive behaviours when they have experiences that trigger distressing memories.
Why do people need ABA?
Children with autism and other developmental disorders need ABA therapy as a way to learn how to communicate and engage with others, improve their general ability to function and lead fulfilling lives, and diminish dangerous behaviors. The techniques used in ABA therapy are based on established principles of learning, and positive reinforcement—supplying earned rewards—is an important strategy for motivating positive behaviour change.
What happens in ABA therapy?
The first thing that happens in ABA therapy is an evaluation of the child in service of developing a treatment plan. The therapist meets with the child’s parent(s) in order to learn about the family and the child, assesses the child’s behavior and ability level, and then creates a plan tailored to the specific needs of that person. Once the treatment goals are established, the skills to be learned are broken down into small, component steps. Treatment sessions focus on learning and practicing each step, and furnishing meaningful rewards as steps are learned, behaviors are spontaneously implemented, and goals are accomplished. ABA therapists also train caregivers and families so that behavioral progress occurs beyond the clinical setting.
What problems does ABA therapy treat?
One of the primary goals of ABA therapy is to decrease the outbursts and other nonproductive behaviors of children with autism. At the same time, ABA aims to remedy language deficits and help such children learn how to communicate successfully. ABA therapy helps children learn age-appropriate social skills and gain skills, such as attention and focus, that are necessary for school.
