AASECT Certified Sex Therapist

My specialty lies in empowering young adults/adults who feel stuck in their personal and relational growth, as well as working with couples and entrepreneurs. I am dedicated to guiding individuals and couples through challenges in their relationships and life transitions, while also providing support and empowerment to high-achieving individuals seeking personal and professional fulfillment. Additionally, I specialize in sex therapy, offering a safe and non-judgmental space to address intimacy and sexual health concerns within relationships. I am also committed to neurodiversity-affirming care, ensuring that all clients receive understanding and tailored support regardless of their neurodiverse experiences.

I take pride in creating a space where my clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I find fulfillment in guiding my clients through deep, transformative work, and witnessing their growth firsthand. My approach to therapy is dynamic and personalized, and I deeply empathize with each individual's unique journey. Together, we work towards those pivotal "ah-ha" moments that lead to meaningful breakthroughs.

Here are the top five reasons why my clients choose to heal and grow with me:

  1. Being entrusted with sensitive information is a privilege I take very seriously.

    I know that participating in therapy on sensitive personal matters can sometimes feel intimidating, and especially if this is your first time reaching out for professional support, you may be feeling vulnerable. Rest assured, we can discuss your truest feelings and develop a plan to improve your life in a safe, compassionate space.

  2. I am a very good listener, but trust me. I will do more than listen.

    My style is interactive, and my clients tell me that I’m funny, wise, witty, and very down to earth, even when I’m holding them accountable.

  3. I’ve got your back… and I’ve also got some jokes.

    I keep therapy “light” and love to let the therapeutic power of humor do the heavy lifting.

  4. I firmly believe that there is no need for therapy to be re-traumatizing.

  5. You will be treated with respect.

    I believe that every person deserves to be treated with compassion, dignity, and respect. My door is open to everyone, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or identity.

I believe that differences can cause distance, but they can also bring us closer together.

By leveraging a progressive approach to foundational psychotherapy techniques, I help my clients recover, regain, and revive their lives and relationships. If you are ready to develop a plan to improve your life and/or develop a deeper connection with your partner.

How Does Counseling Work?

All you need to do is show up and bring up any issues or concerns that you want to discuss.  My counseling style is casual, light and interactive and from there we can work together to better understand your feelings and what makes you get stuck.

I will help you work through your emotions and to better understand yourself and your challenges.
