A Story of Growth, Healing, and Transformation

I’m honored to be featured in Voyage Tampa’s “Community Highlights”, where I had the chance to reflect on my professional journey and the mission behind Metamorphosis Psychotherapy. This recognition highlights not just my work as a therapist, but my commitment to helping people rediscover connection, intimacy, and authentic self-expression.

Building Metamorphosis Psychotherapy

Metamorphosis Psychotherapy was born from the belief that every person has the capacity to change, heal, and thrive. My background as a PhD, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Certified Sex Therapist (CST) allows me to guide clients through emotional and relational transformation using research-based methods with deep compassion and care.

I specialize in:

• Sex Therapy – addressing desire, intimacy, arousal, and sexual concerns

• Relationship & Couples Therapy – rebuilding trust, improving communication, and fostering emotional safety

• Individual Therapy – navigating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions

• LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy – creating safe, inclusive spaces for all identities

What I Shared with Voyage Tampa

In the interview, I spoke about how therapy should be a place where people feel safe, seen, and deeply heard. I often tell new clients that therapy isn’t just about resolving symptoms—it’s about understanding patterns, healing wounds, and learning how to connect more authentically.

We also discussed how the therapeutic relationship itself is central to growth. A good fit between therapist and client creates the trust necessary for transformation. If that fit ever doesn’t feel right, I help clients find a better match—because safety and connection are everything.

Why This Work Matters

Many people reach out to me because they feel disconnected—from their partner, their body, or even themselves. Sex therapy and relationship therapy create a space to rebuild that connection.
Through guided reflection, communication tools, and evidence-based practices, we work together to move from isolation to intimacy, from pain to presence, and from shame to empowerment.

Healing happens when people feel truly understood—and that’s what I aim to create every day in my practice.
