Hello!! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master's Degree from the University of Southern California in Clinical Social Work with a sub-concentration in Military Social Work. I currently hold a certification as a Sex Therapy Informed Professional working towards full certification as a Sex Therapist for individuals and couples. I also specialize in working with clients of all ages who suffer from complex trauma and PTSD.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session we will begin the process of getting to know each other while identifying reasons that have brought you to therapy and possible goals you are seeking to accomplish.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I make every effort to provide an environment each individual feels safe and comfortable while taking a person-centered approach helping clients safely process issues without judgement while utilizing their strengths to achieve their personal goals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My experience in the mental health field includes working with at risk youth, individuals reintegrating into society, Veterans, Active-duty members and their dependents. Areas of focus include life transitions, trauma, depression, PTSD, adjustment disorders and sexual issues.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on your weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings.
Trauma Informed Care
It is a lens through which the therapist views their clients, taking into account the impact of trauma on emotions, regulation, and behavior.
Sex Therapy
Whether it is with individuals or couples adding this type of treatment can be vital to an persons happiness and fulfillment. As a clinician I enjoy helping others navigate intimacy issues emotional and sexual. There is a wide variety of topics that can be incorporated with intimacy complications, whether discovering desire again, working through sexual trauma and discovering what your new normal is sexually or just learning how to be more comfortable speaking about sexual topics with your partner.
