Great to meet you!

I am an experienced licensed clinical social worker and certified sex therapist with over five years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and have specialized training in sexual health, relationship dynamics, and trauma-informed care. My practice embraces a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. I am passionate about supporting clients in achieving personal growth, fostering healthy relationships, and developing resilience. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and caring for animals.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and client-centered. I tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual or couple, drawing from my specialized training in sexual health, relationship dynamics, and trauma-informed care. I believe in empowering clients through open communication, practical skills-building, and a collaborative partnership. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and respected, and where personal growth and healthy relationships can flourish. Progress is made at your pace, and diverse perspectives are always valued.

What you can expect from me

What you can expect from me?

Clients can expect a warm, professional, and collaborative first session focused on orientation and connection. I’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients, clarify goals, gather relevant background, and outline the approach and timeframe.
