I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist. I have over 16 years of experience treating people suffering from a wide range of problems including family problems, relationship problems, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, and sexual disorders. I gained a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Science at Florida State University in 2005, where I learned about people of various cultures. I continued my studies at Florida International University to earn a Master of Science with a major in Psychology and became a Certified Sex Therapist in 2008. Most recently, I completed a Master of Oriental Medicine in 2021. I utilize information and techniques learned in my studies to assist people in developing tools to improve their lives.
