I am a sex-positive, kink-knowledgeable, trauma therapist who utilizes an integrative approach incorporating CBT, CPT, DBT, with an attachment/relational approach.
Therapy is a healing journey. Should that be in your personal relationships, within yourself, or both. Talking about sex has varying levels of comfort for everyone. Some folks are seeking to understand their difficulties with arousal, may be exploring their erotic preferences (i.e., kink and BDSM), may want to process their feelings about sex after sexual trauma, or want to learn how to communicate with their partner about sexual needs and desires. Life is hard and there can be many things weighing on your mind that influences your sexual wellbeing. Having an authentic self and sexual self is crucial to your overall mental health.

I value working with folks with a range of backgrounds, races, faiths, genders, sexualities, and lifestyles. My work sees people through a systems lens, recognizes the oppressive barriers to mental wellness, and encourages reflection on cultural impact.

I believe that we are all wired towards growth. Sometimes life's events, our environment or circumstances get in the way of us accessing our inner resources and realizing our potential. Adverse life experiences can lead to symptoms that may have been necessary at one time to help us survive, but get in the way as our circumstances change. Together we can work to identify and work through barriers to peace and contentment. I bring a wealth of experience and training in several evidence-based treatment models. However, I understand the importance of tailoring therapeutic techniques to the unique needs of each individual.
