With over twenty years working with people exploring their sex lives and in the helping/health professions, I bring a wealth of diverse experience to my practice. I’m a proud member of professional associations and research networks, always committed to learning and integrating the most effective practices into my work.
My Approach
My approach is friendly and person-centred, using well-established, evidence-based methods to help you achieve fulfilling and lasting change. Through my years of continued studies, I can use many different therapy depending on your goals and preferences. Together, we explore what approach feels right for you.
