Great to meet you!

I am a Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I offer individual therapy sessions in my private practice. I sought additional training in sex therapy and diverse relationship structures. My mission has always been to be a knowledgeable therapist so that my clients don't feel like they are educating me about their lives and can feel safe knowing they will not be judged for who they are.

My approach to therapy

I work from a relational and psychodynamic theoretical framework. I attach theory to any work I do. My relationship therapy training includes Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Developmental Model. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when necessary.

What you can expect from me

I aim to create affirming spaces for individuals in these communities seeking a knowledgeable provider. When working together, we will move at your pace and focus on the goals you set, addressing the issues most important to you each week.
