I view the therapy relationship as a sacred trust.
Most individuals come to me when new or stressful life circumstances have overwhelmed their traditional coping strategies. We work together to understand the circumstances that they are facing, the distress that they are experiencing, and explore strategies for reducing their distress and enhancing their well-being. Together we form an understanding partnership that enables them to face the world with more effective coping strategies and improved relationship skills. My theoretical approaches include emotion-focused and psychodynamic therapy. My clients describe me as empathetic, effective and collaborative.

Although I specialize in sex addiction I also work with a range of other issues including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression and low self esteem.
Are you struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior? Do you spend hours watching pornography on your computer? Have you had several unsuccessful attempts to stop your behavior? Are you feeling like your life is spiraling out of control? If so, you may be struggling with sexual or porn addiction. Or perhaps you suspect your partner may be struggling with these issues or he has just exposed to you the truth about his behaviors?

There are times when life stressors and personal problems feel insurmountable and too much to handle. It happens to the best of us. You may feel frustrated, anxious, confused, and depressed. You may also feel unsure who to turn to and confide in about your concerns. Issues such as these will eventually serve to isolate you further and grow into greater problems over time.

Whether you’ve spent a lifetime together or are just beginning your journey, relationships provide us with priceless opportunities to learn, grow, and heal. So often, we see conflict and power struggles as “warning signs” rather than precious growth gifts. How can this be when conflict with our partner is so painful? The answer lies in the struggle itself. Beneath the anger, there nearly always lies hurt, disappointment, fear, or sadness. The Imago relationship approach challenges us to embrace our vulnerability and communicate with our partner openly and without fear. When we are heard and truly seen, healing begins.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
