I pride myself in being genuine in my care for the clients I work with. I value working within a framework of multicultural awareness, and feel strongly that individuals should be afforded the courtesy to understand the context of their background and world view. I am relationship focused, and incorporate a variety of empirically supported approaches in working with the difficulties that occur in people's lives. In particular, I have a strong emphasis on mindfulness-based and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy interventions in combination with proven strategies and interventions from Sex Therapy practice approaches. I have spent my career working with individuals along the lifespan, and currently work mostly with late adolescent to adult clients. I work with many different concerns that present in the mental health and sexual health areas of an individual's lives. I have particular focus in working with individuals who have experienced trauma in their lives, and for those that fall within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. I am licensed as a Psychologist in Ohio, and have experience both in working as a clinician and as an administrator in a non-profit mental health center. I am passionate about improving the lives of my clients, and in training up and coming psychologists and mental health practitioners in their early careers. I have training in individual, relationship-based, and sex therapy approaches and treat a wide variety of clinical concerns. I specialize in treating sexual health concerns with a particular focus on couples' issues in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships , including sexual dysfunction in men and women, paraphilia, sexual abuse and trauma, sexual fetish, sexually compulsive behaviors across the lifespan, gender identity exploration, anxiety related sexual dysfunction, and intimacy enhancement. I am a LGBTQIA+ informed and friendly therapist and work with individuals from many cultural backgrounds.
