Therapist Overview
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW #23383) and psychotherapist, with a focus on issues related to human sexuality. I work from a psychodynamic, trauma-informed, relational perspective. I primarily use Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and I incorporate mindfulness, Imago, and behavioral therapies (CBT and DBT). I also work from a risk-reduction perspective, meaning I work with people who are current or former substance users. I am a Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and I focus on issues related to human sexuality, including, but not limited to: sexual functioning, sexual trauma, sexual identity, sexual behaviors, arousal concerns, desire discrepancy in relationships, issues with orgasm, and issues with sexual pain. I provide supervision for therapists-in-training. These therapists share an interest in the types of therapy I do, and we work together to ensure they are engaging in best-practices under my supervision.
