What You Can Expect
As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, it will be my honor to work with you towards your goals with an approach that is respectful, kind, and encouraging. I view therapy as a gift that we give to ourselves, a gift of knowledge and self discovery. I am humorous and transparent so you can expect my authenticity to show up in the way I work with clients and in the way I build therapeutic relationships. If you work with me, you will have someone in your corner who will be there to support you, challenge you and celebrate you.
I particularly enjoy working with clients who experience sexual health concerns (vaginismus, vulvodynia, painful sex and intercourse, erectile and ejaculatory concerns, orgasmic difficulties), who have a history of religious sexual shame, anxiety or depression, or who are experiencing concerns related to sexuality – pregnancy and birth. Overall I love working with clients who want to explore and learn more about themselves through a sex therapy lens.
