What's My Approach to Therapy?
My practice is focused on experiencing power through change. I curate wellness and healing, centered on building your belief in hope, and implementing functional steps toward change.
Life's journey can be intricate, layered, and unpredictable, often leaving us overwhelmed with anxiety and depression. As a Psychotherapist with a PhD in Clinical Sexology, I specialize in helping individuals and couples regain control and find fulfillment through psychotherapy and sex therapy (polykink positive). With a trauma-informed and integrative approach, including EMDR and cognitive-based therapy, I empower clients to transform their lives. Let's embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery together.
My Practice & Services
I am a holistic provider that focuses on the entirety of the person I am working with. I strive to help you meet your goals and to creat the best possible life that you are wanting to achieve. I integrate many different models of therapy and always tell clients about these as I use them and psychoeducate. My goal is to work myself out of a job! I am out of network but send claims electronically to insurance on your behalf. The majority of my clients get some kind of reimbursement.
