I specialize in sex and trauma therapy, working with all sorts of individuals and relationship structures to navigate complex and sensitive issues with treating various sexuality and trauma concerns.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated for change and willing to be an active participant in their therapy. I typically treat individuals dealing with problematic sexual behaviors, paraphilic attractions, or those grappling with relational and interpersonal challenges.

In relationship therapy, I work with couples or partners who are not simply looking for a referee for their bickerings, but all are ready and committed to improving themselves to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

With over 16 years of experience, specialized training in sex therapy and trauma treatment using Brainspotting, I am dedicated to helping clients discover their inner strengths, achieve healing, and foster positive change.
