About My Clients

I work with individuals navigating concerns such as erectile dysfunction, vulvar or vaginal pain, performance anxiety, and other forms of sex-related anxiety. Together, we explore how early experiences and family dynamics shape patterns in your current relationships, creating space for awareness, healing, and meaningful change.

My Background and Approach

I graduated from Thomas Jefferson University in 2016 with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a specialty in Sex Therapy. Throughout my work, I’ve become passionate about creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore unfamiliar parts of themselves. My approach is client-centered, grounded in systemic understanding and meaningful change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Clients often describe me as collaborative, nurturing, and not afraid to use humor—or a little sarcasm—when it helps lighten the work. I aim to create a safe, open space for self-exploration and lasting change. I welcome individuals and partners from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and non-traditional relationships.
