I welcome individuals and couples who are struggling with sex/intimacy, anxiety, trauma, and identity. Navigating life's challenges can often feel isolating. If you've ever felt hesitant or unsure about discussing topics that many consider unconventional or taboo, know that you've found a welcoming space here. We could also work on processing traumas and anxiety, and building your coping toolbox. I'm also a strong advocate (and part of) the LGBTQIA+ community, poly aware, and kink/BDSM aware. I'm continuously updating my knowledge to stay informed of the latest insights, ensuring that I offer relevant and evidence-based approaches.

Life challenges have a way of interfering with our daily lives. I believe that the challenges come to help us re-examine our lives and discover ways to overcome difficulties and live life to the fullest. My focus as a Therapist/Resident is to serve the needs of others by using my theoretical approaches, 20 years working with individuals, families and children, and spiritual based framework. Through my training and experience, I recognize the need to create a safe place to explore life struggles, change negative behaviors and thoughts, rebuild relationships, and practice new skill building techniques through therapy.

Doesn't it make sense to talk with someone who has actually experienced what you are going through? Someone who understands drinking and/or substance use can both cause problems AND provide much needed relief. I have been where you are, or somewhere close, and together we can find a way out. My ability to help is grounded in 10 years of active addiction, followed by 27 years of continuous recovery and 14 years of academic training (MSW, PhD). I understand the science, and I know the suffering. I work with others who have suffered, their families and loved ones.

Sex Therapy

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
