Affirmative, interactive, client-centered therapy can help you address depression, anxiety, and destructive behaviors. I serve heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, trans, non-binary, and polyamorous individuals. I practice individual therapy, relationship counseling, and sex therapy. My experience includes working with substance use issues from a harm reduction approach, regardless of whether my client's goal is abstinence or substance use management. I love to help people address trauma, improve communication, take control of their lives, gain sexual confidence, and get their needs met.
I have a bachelor's in psychology from the University of Michigan, a master's in counseling psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and a certificate in sex therapy from CIIS. I received clinical training at the Pacific Center for Human Growth in Berkeley and at the Stonewall Project at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for ten years in behavioral health research and presented at the HIV Prevention Conference and the American Public Health Association Conference. More recently, I was a contributing author to the Handbook of Practical Program Evaluation (2010, 2015) and I presented at the 2018 National Harm Reduction Conference.
