I believe that we are all human, who have human experiences. Sometimes those experiences affect the quality of our lives and how we move forward. Those experiences can also affect how we view the world. From the ages of 10-15 years old, I experienced several deaths of people that were really close to me. However, as I got older I developed the belief that despite tragedy and loss people are resilient and can get through anything when they feel safe and have support. I value the therapeutic relationship, as well as providing a safe space for my clients to process and be their authentic selves. My approach is solution- focused, client-centered, integrated with cognitive behavioral therapy. 

I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified to provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and an AASECT-certified Sex Therapist. I bring a trauma-focused perspective to all of my work and pull from a mix of evidence-based treatments depending on client need. My specialties are in sex therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My experience providing sex therapy includes treatment for the following conditions: desire discrepancy in couples; low sex drive; ED, PE, vaginismus, vulvodynia, recovery from sexual trauma, erotic recovery and emotional healing after an affair, negotiating boundaries within monogamy, the development of a polyamorous agreement, out-of-control sexual behaviors and kink-affirming care. I am so excited about ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), which I provide in partnership with prescribers through Journey Clinical. While nothing is a magic cure, I have been amazed and inspired by the rapid improvement I've seen in my KAP clients' lives.
