About

I enjoy working with clients in an integrative, collaborative approach that is educational and solution-focused while providing a supportive, non-judgmental and affirming space. I hope clients become better at recognizing their patterns, increasing self-awareness, develop healthy sexual identities and functioning, increase their skill sets and better understand their own beliefs and values.
