I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven approach for helping couples build stronger emotional bonds. EFT focuses on understanding and improving attachment dynamics between partners, helping them break negative cycles and create more secure, connected relationships. My expertise in EFT allows me to guide couples in deepening their emotional intimacy, improving communication, and fostering a more fulfilling and resilient partnership.

I have extensive expertise in LGBTQ+ issues, backed by specialized training in LGBTQ+ interprofessional health and certifications from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). My work spans diverse settings such as VA hospitals, university counseling centers, and private practice, where I provide affirming care for sexual and gender minority clients navigate challenges like gender dysphoria, identity development, minority stress, and psychosexual concerns.

As a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT) and Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Sexology, I specialize in addressing sexual concerns in psychotherapy. I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for individuals and couples navigating psychosexual issues such as sexual dysfunction, desire discrepancies, performance anxiety, and identity exploration. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques and focuses on fostering healthy sexual relationships and enhancing sexual well-being.

I have used ACT in various settings, including VA hospitals, university counseling centers, and private practice, helping clients manage anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic health conditions. My expertise in ACT allows me to guide clients toward greater psychological flexibility by helping them accept difficult emotions, commit to valued actions, and ultimately build a more meaningful life.

With extensive training in sexual health, I work with individuals and couples to address a wide range of psychosexual issues, including sexual dysfunction, desire discrepancies, performance anxiety, and identity exploration. My person-centered, sex-positive, and kink-aware approach creates a safe, affirming environment for clients to explore their sexual concerns and improve intimacy, helping them achieve greater sexual well-being and satisfaction.

I have advanced training specifically focused on LGBTQ-centered EFT. This specialized training allows me to address the unique attachment and relationship dynamics that LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples often face. My experience working with diverse populations in various settings, including VA hospitals and private practice, has deepened my ability to help clients foster stronger emotional bonds, resolve conflicts, and improve communication.
