Work History
I am trained to treat a multitude of conditions but my primary specialties lie in sex therapy, trauma therapy, and relationship therapy. My favorite moments in sex therapy are when a client reports that they are now able to enjoy sex, especially if the client felt hopeless before they began treatment. My favorite moments in trauma therapy are the times when clients realize they haven't had a nightmare in several nights or they realize they have started to go through life unafraid. The best moments in relationship therapy are when the clients turn toward each other to solve a problem instead of each partner blaming the other partner. I am very grateful to be in a profession where I love what I do and I love being a counselor.
