I actively participate in helping you get to where you want to go, and I offer insight when clients have a desire and readiness to hear it. I have worked in the mental health field for over ten years as well, so I have heard it all! My office is a no judgement zone first and foremost. I am a sex therapist and look forward to helping you overcome sexual shame and trauma so that you can have all the intimacy and closeness you desire.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy knowing something isn't right but are unsure exactly what the cause of their problems is or how to get better. Relationships may keep ending the same way, friendships may feel distant, or life may feel unfulfilling despite doing everything you thought you were supposed to do. Together, we will slow down, get to the root of what is going on, and work toward a life that feels more like your own.
