The therapeutic relationship can be a very important one and, like any other healthy relationship, it is based on mutual respect, trust and commitment. I approach our work together with a nonjudgmental stance. I will meet you wherever you are in your life's journey and honor your unique strengths. I support clients in creating their most fulfilling lives, in line with their values and goals. I incorporate mindfulness into a collaborative and client-centered process and employ an honest, direct communication. My extensive training in Trauma, Couples Therapy and Sex Therapy informs my work. I emphasize practical skills that help us better understand our emotional experiences and be more effective in our lives. I empower clients by utilizing an integrative approach in my treatment of mental health and sexual health issues. My goal is to assist you in increasing your awareness and understanding of the roots of emotional distress. I specialize in treating relational and sexual challenges in an inclusive, sex-positive and affirmative environment.
