Educational and Experiential Background
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PA #PS018113). I received my doctorate from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University - Washington DC. I am also a certified sex therapist (CST). My clinical experience has been based in providing therapy on an outpatient basis, both in smaller private practice settings and larger agencies.
My areas of speciality are in working with women in life transitions, working with individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, and working with individuals experiencing issues around sexuality and relationship functioning. As a sex therapist, I hold an open and accepting worldview about the infinite range of human sexuality, gender identity and expression.
My Therapeutic Style
I believe that we all have had experiences that shape our sense of the world and impact our relationships with others. My approach to therapy involves exploring how past experiences impact the present and helping my clients use those insights to make active, positive, and healthy changes around their sense of self and in their relationships.
Using techniques from narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, as well as more directive approaches, I will work with you in creating a therapy experience that is completely individualized. My understanding is that no two people are alike, and, therefore, therapy is a uniquely co-created experience.
