My specialty is Human Sexuality. I'm a Certified Sex Therapist, Psychotherapist and am a retired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I have 40+ years experience. I was trained, mentored and supervised by Dr. Wardell Pomeroy of the Kinsey Institute. I help my patients achieve their greatest sexual and relationship potential, beyond diagnosis and treatment of their concerns, to reach the most exciting levels of an intimate relationship. I see many patients online. It is efficient and effective, and it permits the intimacy and immediacy of an in-office consultation, from the comfort of your home or office.

Everyone's story is unique and no therapy session follows a predictable path. Yet the following steps provide a general outline of how your therapy sessions with me may progress: we identify a path that confirms your values and promotes positive change; we discuss the problem in concrete terms; we evaluate its negative effects on your life; we figure out exactly how it slips into your day; and we consider which skills reduce the problem. With even quite serious problems, this process takes a handful of months, not years, to attain lasting results.

Have you experienced a traumatic event which caused feelings of fear, helplessness or horror; do you find yourself reliving the event or avoiding reminders of the event? Are you easily startled? Do you find that talking about it hasn’t led to the results you're looking for, such as freedom from your symptoms? Are you feeling stuck? Do you find that you are still easily triggered and unable to gain control over your life? When talking isn’t enough, EMDR is often the answer! Treatment includes history taking, assessment, symptom reduction strategies, followed by processing the trauma, & re-evaluation to ensure trauma is cleared.

It can feel like a heavy and exhausting life, managing the constant churning in your mind in parallel with keeping up with everything that you have on your plate. You may have heard that counselling can help but it's hard to imagine how. You may be thinking the problems are obvious I just need to logically map my way out of this. Many years back with a scientist's perspective, it was hard for me to imagine how counselling could possibly help me out of it. Many years of training and practice later, I have humbly witnessed numerous clients overcoming problems and experiencing new possibilities, identities and futures.

Sometimes life feels very overwhelming and we can feel lost and disconnected, or even struggle with our self-worth. I work with couples and individuals who want to understand their behaviours and improve their communication and connection. You may struggle with your romantic relationships or friendships, or find yourself repeating the same patterns with different people in your life. Sometimes you feel anxious in your relationships, or don't feel connected at all. You may want to feel more at ease in your relationships with others and especially with yourself, experiencing less anxiety and feeling grounded when making decisions.
