Looking to improve your quality of life? Have a great relationship? Improve your sex life? I am passionate about working with those who are struggling to feel connected in their relationships and are experiencing difficulty with communication, resolving conflicts, addressing issues with sex and intimacy, or coping with the effects of an affair. I can help you understand the dynamics that create conflict in your relationship, discover ways to communicate that improves intimacy, and utilize tools that help deepen feelings of fondness and admiration.
My approach to therapy is holistic and interactive and incorporates the highest quality evidence-based research and best practices to help you meet your treatment goals. I utilize various modalities including Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, somatic therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Master of Social Work degree in 2017 and completed the Sexual Health Certificate Program in Sex Therapy and Sex Education at the University of Michigan in 2024. I have over four years working with individuals and couples to help them improve their relationship and achieve healthy sex lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
