Description
I work with adults and older teens, including individuals and couples, who feel overwhelmed with stress or anxiety, are lacking motivation, and perhaps even feel stuck and are not sure where to turn for support. Many of my clients have experienced anxiety, depression or issues in their relationships. I have specialized training in sex therapy and work with individuals and couples to resolve sexual problems that may be getting in the way of their wellbeing. I work hard to create an affirming atmosphere to support my many trans and gender non-conforming clients.
