About me

Hi everyone, I am a Therapist with 10 years of experience and two Masters from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor's from UC Berkeley. I have an absolute passion for working with people who are experiencing issues in their sex life or their relationship or exploring alternative types of romantic relationships (however please note, I do not do couples counseling, only individual counseling regarding a relationship), and those suffering from over-worrying and anxiety. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and playing towards your strengths. Being a Therapist and knowing my career helps others feel less alone, more validated supported and genuinely heard brings me happiness. I am here to support you and look forward to helping you reach your goals. * I am LGBTQ friendly and this is a safe space*

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together we will start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing and your goals for therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strength as a therapist is my ability to help someone feel comfortable in discussing personal matters that maybe make them feel vulnerable. Oh and I have been told often that I have a very bubbly friendly personality that aids in making them feel welcomed and comfortable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Patients needing sex therapy or just a sex positive therapist in general or difficulty in their relationship (individual counseling, not couples). Patients with career or school guidance needed.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

Strength Based treatment focuses on identifying and utilizing the skills you are already very skilled at and may not recognize in order to create change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT looks at how you interpret events and situations that occur and how that interpretation can affect your emotions. We work together to see what other interpretations are possible that would result in a less stressful emotional response.
