I work with individuals, couples, parents, and families. I specialize in sex therapy, couples counseling, parenting education, and family conflict. I have a trauma based somatic practice. I believe that trauma can be better released from the body through hands-on modalities. Towards that end, In May, 2025, I will begin the foundation training in Neuro Affective Touch. I will begin offering this somatic based approach in person only in November 2025. Please let me know if you would like to get on my waiting list.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we will determine if we are a good fit for each other. Therefore, we will be discussing your goals for therapy. I will ask you what will your life look like if the problem/s that brought you here today were resolved. If you are ready to be a partner in your own healing journey, then we may be ready to work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am direct and empathetic. I challenge and empower my clients. Therapy is an interactive process. I will not let you stay stuck. I will empower, not enable you. I will help you create options for change. I will help you explore your feelings, but I will not allow you to attempt to make them go away.
