As a holistic psychotherapist and certified sex therapist, I have experience and training in a range of theoretical orientations. My foundation is grounded in traditional and psychodynamic psychotherapy and is greatly influenced by eastern traditions that blend a mind body awareness.
I had the privilege of training with the founder of Crucible® Therapy & Neurobiological Therapy, Dr. David Schnarch, for nearly 10 years before his passing. As a Crucible® therapist, I specialize in navigating complex intimacy, desire, and sexual issues by fostering self-regulation and emotional maturity with individuals and couples.
I earned my master’s from John F. Kennedy University California Counseling Psychology program in 2003.
I began my private practice in 2007, working with a diverse group of clients across gender, sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity, including the Spanish‑speaking community. I have extensive post-masters training as a couples therapist and sex therapist, and I am a certified sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Therapists, and Counselors (AASECT).
