Hey Y'all! I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), Sex therapist, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, and Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist in Pennsylvania. I have two master's degrees from Drexel and Widener University, and an almost-doctorate (ABD) from Widener in Human Sexuality Studies. I have over 15 years of experience centering the healing of people with marginalized identities (specifically Black & Brown queer folx). My areas of focus are family-of-origin challenges, relational health & wellness, couple & sex therapy, perinatal mental health and perinatal loss, and broad-spectrum grief & loss support.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will do some brief introductions, followed by identification of the presenting problems and hopes for therapy. I will gather some historical information, begin the joining process, and close with identification of 2-3 goals for treatment (these can be adapted as needed).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've been doing some form of therapeutic work for many years. I have a comprehensive knowledge of levels of care, as well as working with people at all different levels of intervention. In addition to experience, I also just genuinely care about people and their well-being. I have a deep purpose and desire to support you getting to where you're trying to be energetically, spiritually, relationally, sexually, and mentally. I am committed to keeping it real with you, being honest while still caring, and helping you align your behaviors with the morals, values, and beliefs you have about YOU.
