About me
Anger, Stress, Relationship concerns? I am a sex and relationship therapist who can help! AASECT Certified.
I'm a therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and cultivate deeper, more fulfilling relationships. My practice is entirely telehealth-based, offering the convenience and flexibility of therapy from the comfort of your own home.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the power of therapy to foster personal growth, enhance self-awareness, and develop coping mechanisms that can help you navigate life's challenges with greater resilience.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing upon evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapies, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT). I tailor my approach to your specific needs and preferences, creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns.
