Work HistoryI am a Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in LGBTQ+ care. I offer individual and couples therapy sessions in my California Private Practice as a sexual, gender, and relational diverse provider with expert training and over ten years of service to the community. I sought additional training in couples therapy, sex therapy, and diverse relationship structures. I worked hard to be a sole business owner and author at 32. I own a private practice that serves minority communities in San Diego and am the co-author of the book Women and Kink: Relationships, Reasons, and Stories. My mission has always been to be a knowledgeable therapist so that my clients don't feel like they are educating me about their lives and can feel safe knowing they will not be judged for who they are
