I am a licensed Couple and Sex Therapist in Washington, D.C. I am passionate about helping people create loving, supportive, and affirming relationships. Building strong relational foundations with a current or future partner requires laying bricks and each person must be willing to work on resolving lingering pain from the past. With love and compassion, I help individuals and couples heal past hurts as they move towards emotional connection and enhanced sexual intimacy. 

I spent over seventeen years as a family law attorney before entering the counseling field. Watching the devastating impacts of people going through the divorce process propelled me to help relationships heal. I obtained a master's in Marriage and Family Therapy at LaSalle University, and a post master’s certificate in Sex Therapy at the Council for Relationships. I have a Ph.D. in Couple and Family Therapy from Drexel University, where my research addresses the unique needs of couples of color. Additionally, I teach master’s level students in the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Virginia Tech University.
