Even amidst the most comprehensive cancer care, the holistic needs of survivors regarding intimacy – physically, mentally, and emotionally – are often overlooked.

That’s where we step in. Our services encompass various avenues of support. From individual to couple’s and group counseling, we provide tailored assistance for addressing intimacy and sexual concerns.

Introducing our online program, “EmpowerHer: Reclaiming Intimacy After Cancer.” This initiative is specifically crafted to aid female cancer survivors in navigating the multifaceted challenges surrounding intimacy post-treatment.

“EmpowerHer” comprises a series of weekly group sessions, each focusing on distinct facets of intimacy, self-image, and sexual health. Within a secure and inclusive environment, participants engage in discussions and have ample opportunity for questions and exploration.

Accessible from the comfort and privacy of one’s home, our programs furnish a wealth of resources, information, and guidance, allowing participants to progress at their own pace.

As a nurse practitioner and sexuality counselor, I believe that love and intimacy are essential to human happiness. Through confidential virtual sessions, I support individuals and couples in overcoming barriers to sexual satisfaction, allowing for deeper connections and enhanced love and affection.

In a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental setting, my clients address a range of sexual concerns such as loss of libido, lack of arousal, painful sex and anxiety. 

I hold a Doctorate in Nursing Practice and am dual licensed as an Adult Health Nurse Practitioner (AHNP) and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP). Additionally, I am an AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor (CSC) and am a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC).

As an approved Continuing Education Provider (CEP), I hold accreditation from both the California Board of Registered Nursing and the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).

Practice Focus:
The mission of the Mind-Body Connection for Adult Health NP, is to empower individuals and couples, enabling them to enhance their intimate relationships through counseling, education and workshops.

Additionally, I am committed to providing continuing education to healthcare professionals, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to assist their patients in addressing intimate health concerns, promoting overall well-being and fostering fulfilling relationships.
