About

"Hi, there! Thank you for your interest in learning more about me, what I do, and if I might be a good fit for you. Taking the first steps towards improving your mental health takes a lot of strength and courage. I have a Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy, and during the 11+ years of being a therapist, I have had two primary focuses to my practice. The first being sex and sexuality. I've worked with individuals, couples, and families dealing with problems in this specific area. Some clients are couples struggling with intimacy, sexual exploration, or communicating about sex. I also work with parents of children who may be expressing sexual behavior that is questionable or possibly inappropriate. Then there are clients who have issues surrounding their own sexual experiences. No matter what challenges you're facing I work from an inclusive, respectful, and non-judgemental position to create an environment where you can feel comfortable. The second focus to my practice has been working with women and women's issues. Whether there is a recent transition in your life, concerns surrounding pregnancy or motherhood, relationships, and even past traumas I work with women to co-create the solutions they seek. I once had a mentor tell me that who I am as a person makes me an excellent therapist. Being honest, respectful, and empathic comes naturally to me and I'm certain you'll see that right away. Our first session will involve an open conversation to see how working together will be useful for you. During that session, we will create a plan and obtainable goals so I can make sure to keep us on track. All sessions are conveniently over telehealth."
