What to Expect in Treatment
My goals in therapy are to collaborate with my clients to help them reach their full potential and to improve their quality world.
Depression and Anxiety
Perhaps the most common reasons for starting therapy are due to feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and stress. I look forward to working with you through these difficult emotions so that you can feel more like yourself again.
Sex Therapy
Whether clients are exploring their sexual and/or gender identity, experiencing dissatisfaction in their sex lives, or would like to learn how to reconnect with their partner(s), I will support you on your journey.
Older Adulthood
As we age, new concerns arise related to our abilities, financial stability, and loss of loved ones. I hope to encourage you as you find joy in life once again during this new transition.
Common client goals include: relieving depression/anxiety, adjusting to transitions, improving self-confidence, and building healthy relationships.
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist

CAMS Trained Provider
The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is an evidence-based approach to treating people suffering from serious thoughts of self-harm. The provider and client collaborate using tools such as the Suicide Status Form. Together, they identify and address the “drivers” — the root causes behind the client’s suicidal thoughts. CAMS is a client-centered, suicide-focused, clinical philosophy of care based on empathy, honesty, and trust.
