So whether you're looking to improve communication, reduce conflict, reignite the intimacy and connection, or working toward repair after infidelity - I'm here to help.
Are you and your partner having the same argument on repeat? Has the intimacy and romance been replaced with distance and frustration? Seemingly little things become explosive arguments. And trying to talk about it leads to more conflict. Worse yet, the distance and disconnection is deafening. The unresolved issues are getting worse, and you are left feeling exhausted, invalidated, and alone. Every passing day feels like one step closer to your breaking point. Your family means everything to you and you worry it's taking a toll on your kids. You want more than anything to reconnect with your partner and finally feel heard.

We’ll work with the issues that you present—depression, intimacy, infidelity, eating disorders, addiction.
We all face conflicts that at times become “too much.” When we feel overwhelmed there’s a natural tendency to want to restore balance in ourselves and our lives. Any conflict—in love, work, body image, physical symptoms—can lead to anxiety, shame and a sense of "going through the motions." Whether you’re dealing with current or long-standing difficulties, there are effective ways to understand and soften painful feelings. Life can be better when you open to new thinking, curb negativity and break repetitive cycles; you become kinder to yourself. You can find your own voice.

My specialty and passion is therapy for intimacy, couples, sexual dysfunctions, and relationship concerns. I work with individuals and couples who have difficulties adapting to the dynamics of an intimate relationship. This can be the result of traumatic experiences, the need for personal exploration, and/or sexual dysfunctions. The clients I typically work with are disappointed with their relationship and/or sex life, they may have experienced betrayal, they might avoid sex because it’s painful, stressful, or anxiety-producing, or want to expand their sex horizons (e.g., Kink, Vanilla, BDSM, etc.).

Relationships determine our quality of life, but loving relationships can feel so hard! You may be struggling with a variety of issues, such as low desire, erectile dysfunction, orgasm difficulties, pain, miscommunication, or infidelity. At the heart of these issues there is often a struggle to feel connected to yourself and your partner. This often results in feeling insecure, frustrated, neglected, or confused about what you or your partner want and need in sex and relating. There is a science to love and sex with practical interventions.

You long to wake up in the morning less anxious and depressed, or you're just feeling stressed-out and stuck. Maybe pain from infidelity consumes you but you want to fix what's broken rather than throwing in the towel. Deep down, you want to feel excited about your life and I want that for you too. I can help you untangle the knotted threads of your life and create something beautiful. If you've tried therapy before but felt something was missing (maybe too much listening and not enough tools or direction), let's do it differently this time so you have both the knowledge & insights but also the skills to create your best life.

Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress.

Therapy to me, in the most basic of senses, is about what is possible when two people form a genuine relationship. That is what I strive to do with my clients, show up as my full self and use what I have learned to help support them however they want to be helped. In my experience, when two people show up as their full selves and are willing to put in the work, moments of insight occur that reverberate outside of the therapeutic space and change lives for the better: anxieties begin to lessen, the heaviness of depression begins to feel lighter, life transitions feel less overwhelming and more manageable.
