My Background and Approach

I decided that I wanted to become a therapist in response to my own navigation of relationships and sexuality. Sexuality has always fascinated me but I grew up in an environment where repression was the norm. I always held the belief that sex is a normal part of life, and began looking more critically at the messages that I had grown up with. As a result, one of my primary goals as a sex therapist is to deconstruct narratives of shame or guilt that may have been internalized, and develop a safe, fulfilling relationship with clients.

My Approach to Helping

I adopt an integrationist approach and practice therapy from a systemic, trauma-informed lens, utilizing frameworks such as EFT, IFS, and narrative therapy. I incorporate social justice and equity into my approach to therapy and believe that it is critical to creating a safe relationship free of judgment. I am excited to walk alongside you on your path.
