Get to Know Me

I am a down to earth therapist who takes a conversational approach to my sessions. I specialize in working with individuals, families, and couples who come through with a variety of backgrounds. I have experience working with individuals within the LGBTQ+ community and those who want a safe place to talk about sex and relationships without judgement. Let’s face it, talking about sex is so difficult! Talking to a total stranger about sex can be even harder. You want someone who has the experience, but also someone that can make you feel comfortable talking about the most intimate parts of your life. I strive to provide a supportive environment, so you feel comfortable in our sessions too.

I encourage everyone to talk freely and openly during sessions. This is a place where you don’t have to censor yourself and feel afraid you might offend me. I talk about sex all the time with my clients and want you to feel comfortable talking about sex, or anything, too!

If you want to chat further, give me a call or email and we can schedule a brief consult to discuss your situation further before we schedule a full session. Talk to you soon!
