I am a certified
sex
therapist with AASECT and a Level II Trained EMDR therapist.
I always start with where a client is and move through a process of self awareness and discovery that brings about lasting change and newfound joy. While that is not an easy process it is a journey I have found worth taking in my own life and feel honored to take in another's.
I do not believe in a "cookie cutter" approach to recovery or self actualization. Each person I work with brings a special "psychological fingerprint" that encompasses both their past and their present life experiences.

All of us are having normal nervous system responses of survival in a time that seems very abnormal and unusual. There are many unexpected issues that are coming to the surface in this time of global crisis and trauma. With the additional demands and stressors brought about by Covid 19, most need trauma-responsive care and support. I utilize a variety of bottom up techniques that engage the nervous system and partner with the physical body to allow for resolution of traumas. This is coupled with traditional top down talk therapy techniques to foster improved social engagement and empowerment.

As a
Sex
Therapist, I work to normalize your feelings and your desires, and offer compassionate guidance in order to create richer, joyful, more meaningful relationships with your body, your partner(s), and yourself.
It’s hard to tell someone else your deepest secrets. The truth about your gender, your desires, your struggling relationship. A well of shame has pooled up inside, brought on by years of trying to squeeze yourself into the narrow definitions of
sexuality
forced on you by society. You’re left feeling alienated and unsure if you will ever find the kind of true connection that you crave. You know deep inside that
sexuality
is meant to be wonderful…but something is holding you back. Fear of rejection. Fear of judgement. Fear of not being enough. Fear of not knowing what to do. Fear of being alone.

Specializing in
Sex Therapy
& Infidelity Recovery.........So you decided to stay and work on your relationship after the affair, but your mind is so full of emotions and questions you feel lost and broken and don't know where to start. And while others acknowledge your pain, no one seems to be able to give you the tools you need to heal and reconnect. Feeling like roommates and your love language is conflict? You have the love but no longer like each other. You have the motivation but need actionable steps and a map for recovery and connection.

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.
