More about Lana
- 1 year's experience
- Female
- LMFT
My passions in mental health include self-care, self-empowerment, and helping people communicate and love better in their relationships. As an LMFT, I bring an interpersonal systems lens to individual and couples sessions, supporting clients in identifying strengths and challenging negative patterns. I work with adults facing college or career stress, relationship challenges, sexuality, and self-empowerment, as well as couples navigating premarital, parenting, blended families, ethical non-monogamy, interracial or interfaith relationships, and sex therapy in a sex-positive, kink-informed space.
