I tend to work with individuals who are part of LGBTQ+ spectrum, have issues related to sex and relationships, and/or have experienced religious trauma.
Individuals reach out to me when they're feeling stuck in life. They've tried everything they can think of to move forward to fix the issues on their own and need some assistance to move through these roadblock. Often, they are struggling in their relationships and their self-worth. These folks tend to benefit from building a variety of healthy skills to manage the day-to-day symptoms while we simultaneously work to resolve past negative life experiences that have contributed to the issues.

My approach is inclusive, centered on trust, and centered around providing support in a judgment-free manner that respects your lived experiences while also fostering accountability.

My long career focused on issues of human sexuality, sex therapy and clinical sexology gives me practical experience that fuses perfectly with my psychotherapy doctoral and master's degrees.
Our sexualities matter and are a profound and meaningful part of our identities, our lives, our relationships and our places in the world. Yet our society and family and multiple sources of influence can poison our natural right to be sexual and have it be a fulfilling part of our lives. I'm very proud of my expertise and long professional history helping individuals, couples and families deal with those kinds of conflicts. I'd love to talk with you about what's going on that's in the way of your sexual happiness and satisfaction.

As an experienced marriage counselor and sex therapist, I believe that you CAN have a fulfilling, life-long relationship and a meaningful sex life.
You can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to your partner. You're hiding behind "busy" because your efforts to have meaningful connection and communication always turn into an argument or a misunderstanding, so why bother? Maybe you've experienced a betrayal like an emotional or physical affair. There's pain and hurt feelings and resentment between you, and you don't know how to mend the damage. You're feeling helpless, hopeless, and exhausted.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I also assist with exploring and addressing sexual dysfunctions and desire mismatches.
Are you in a romantic relationship that feels stagnant or unstable, or are you single because you struggle to find a healthy connection? You're not alone. Many of us face relational issues that prevent us from living an authentic and fulfilling life. We all desire healthy relationships, especially with romantic partners, but often struggle to create or maintain them due to unaddressed attachment issues from childhood. Without healing these attachment wounds, we may find ourselves repeating similar unhealthy patterns.
