Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I first was inspired when I was a young by watching Talk Sex with Sue on her late night show. I enjoyed her openness and bluntness. I then decided to become a therapist that specializes in sex therapy to help others to connect to their authentic selves while removing any shame and judgment from sex, alternative sexuality, and sensuality to allow a safe place for clients to express all parts of themselves.
