My Approach to Therapy

My goal is to ultimately help my clients achieve the goals they wish to accomplish. I use interventions that offer not only symptom relief, but also a means to improve emotional connections to the individual and others. I have over 13 years of experience in treating LGBTQIA populations, depression, sexual health related issues, anxiety disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, chronic pain and other medical health Issues. I offer a safe non-judgmental sex positive environment. I am a Certified Sex Therapist by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapist (AASECT). I specialize in treating issues related to sexuality after chronic illness. However, I treat several sexual issues and mental health concerns that individuals and couples may face. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I use holistic approaches where I treat the whole person and not just the symptoms. Clients who are in non-monogamous, swingers, polyamorous, and or kink relationships are welcomed. Psychotherapy is a journey and we will take it together. Please contact me for fees and services.

My Practice & Services

I offer full time telehealth psychotherapy and sex therapy services. This is convenient for all clients.

My Role as a Therapist

Individual Psychotherapy: My role is to help you identify the barriers that are preventing wellness. I utilize a variety of approaches. In therapy, we can explore different ways your past experiences may impact your life, and we will explore how you would like to grow from these experiences. Relationship and Couples Counseling: I will work with you on identifying the problem and we will work together to bring healing to the relationship. However, please keep in mind that my approach to my relationship counseling is not based on the idea that the couple will necessarily stay together as this is not always the best option.
