Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist
- (at New Leaf Counseling and Consulting)
PhD from Oregon State University in Counseling and an MA from Naropa University in Counseling Psychology. I have two post-master’s certificates in Marriage and Family Therapy and Sex Therapy from Family Therapy Institute. I am licensed in Nevada as an MFT (01135) and in Alabama (telehealth only) as an MFT (L542) and national board certified with AASECT as a sex therapist.
I am a poly-friendly and knowledgeable practitioner. I work with a variety of CNM processes and agreements. As an MFT my systems approach provides a strong foundation in helping with connection, conflict, intimacy, and more in a broad range of relationship structures. I work with relationship health and sexual health concerns - from supporting continued wellbeing to tackling the challenges that sometimes knock us off our feet. I am also a general mental health practitioner and so I can help with wide range of mental health concerns too including trauma, anxiety, and depression with individuals as well as how to navigate these concerns in relationships. I teach and train others in topics related to CNM, sexual health, relationship health, and sexual and gender minorities. I am passionate about the value of relationships of all forms and their importance and meaning in our lives. Note: Please use email only for appointment scheduling.
