I have been working professionally in the Quincy area since 1979 and have been in private practice since 1983. I work with individuals, couples and families, mostly on an in-person basis. Virtual sessions are available for established clients only. My areas of expertise include couples therapy, assisting clients who are in long-term SUD recovery, men's issues and workplace concerns. The treatment approach is tailored to meet the therapeutic needs of each client.

I work with individuals and relationships around a wide variety of sexual concerns including: Common Sexual Dysfunctions (Erectile Dysfunction, Early Ejaculation, Delayed Ejaculation, Sexual Pain, Vaginismus, Difficulty with Orgasm), as well as Low/No Desire, Desire Mismatch in couples, Sexual Trauma, Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation, Pornography or Sex "Addiction," and Kink.

Many of my clients seek therapy because they feel stuck - in the same endless fight with their partner, in a power struggle with their child, or in a place of anxiety or depression. As a relationally trained therapist, I help couples and families improve communication, minimize conflict, and develop interactions that make the family and/or relationship a source of positivity, peace, comfort, and joy - not chaos, stress, or constant struggle. I help individuals figure out how to better understand and deal with emotions, develop a more confident sense of self, and work through difficult experiences, both past and present.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and it's interfering with your ability to have good days, in your relationships, sleep, work, or even school? Maybe these overwhelming feelings are coming out of the blue or from a variety of recent/past experiences, leaving you with little room to experience joy, or feel like your authentic self. If you are a person of color, are bicultural, or bilingual these overwhelming feelings can be compounded. You are not alone. Many individuals can feel this way and these overwhelming feelings can be deeply rooted. Yet, they can be healed and managed.

My focus in treatment is improving and sustaining the relationship between client and therapist. It is my goal to express deep and meaningful care for my clients by showing them support, coupled together with the ability to understand my client’s experience and emotions in the here and now.

In fact, counseling, seeking new ways of looking at a problem, getting professional help, being coachable, re-framing some of the things that have been falsely thought to us, are all signs of having a healthy mind in search of the doing better.

“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”--Unknown The decision to seek help is one that is often arrived at after long periods of suffering. We so often cling to what is familiar, even when what is familiar is causing us and those around us tremendous pain. We go to great lengths to avoid coming face to face with our vulnerability, and unknowingly prolong our suffering despite our best efforts to master it. For many of us, we simply do what we know, choosing the familiarity of pain over the inherently fear-inducing path of change. Simply stated--change is hard. While change is inevitably challenging, it does not have to be undertaken alone. Finding a qualified therapist to support you through this process can make a significant difference in both the outcome and the process.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, has many effects on our minds and bodies. You may have questions or concerns, finding your pathway to peace and contentment. I believe that comes from an understanding of what has happened to you during certain points in your life and how your mind and body has survived.
