Why I Do This Work

I believe that everyone deserves fulfilling relationships—with themselves and others. Over the years, I’ve worked in women’s health, residential treatment programs, substance abuse facilities, and community outreach centers, gaining insight into the many factors that influence our confidence, relationships, and sexual well-being. My work is rooted in the belief that you already have the capacity for growth and healing—I’m here to help you uncover it.

What Makes My Approach Different

Trauma-Informed

I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space where healing happens safely, at your pace, with support that honors your experiences and autonomy.

Kink Friendly

I offer a nonjudgmental, kink-affirming space where you can explore your experiences openly and feel fully supported in your healing and growth.

Couples Institute

I use specialized training from The Couples Institute with Dr. Ellyn Bader to help couples break unhealthy patterns, strengthen communication, and build deeper, lasting connection.

Gottman Method

I integrate Gottman Method Couples Therapy, based on the research of Drs. John and Julie Gottman, to help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and create stronger, more resilient relationships.

Emotionally- Focused

Through the proven, transformative model of Emotionally Focused Therapy by Dr. Sue Johnson, I help you break free from old patterns and build the kind of emotional connection most couples never learn to create on their own.

My Credentials

  • Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University
  • Certified AASECT Sex Therapist 2017
  • Extensive training in The Couples Institute with Ellyn Bader
  • The Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with Sue Johnson

BEYOND THE THERAPY ROOM

In addition to working with clients, I love teaching, speaking, and sharing knowledge. I’ve presented at national conferences and public events, covering topics like sexuality in social work, relationships, gender, intimacy, women’s health, yoga and sexual empowerment.

Outside of work, I stay active by spending time outdoors, yoga, cooking, and enjoying time with my family. Life is all about balance, connection, and growth, and I bring that philosophy into both my personal life and my work with clients.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will listen, support, challenge, and empower you, I’d love to work with you.

Let’s start the conversation.
