My goal is to help individuals and couples learn to value your own pleasure so you can create satisfying sexual and fulfilling relationships.
Are you up late again tonight thinking about this? Is your sex life making you feel lonely, sad or disconnected from your partner? Would you like to increase your communication and pleasure? Are you missing that intimacy and sexual connection? Perhaps you are trying to figure out why your relationships aren't working or distressed over sex/porn. I want to help you get beyond betrayals, anxiety, and past traumas that may be hindering your relationships and intimacy. I specialize in sex therapy and trauma and I can help. Sex talk can be uncomfortable, I provide a non-judgmental place to explore these sensitive issues with you.

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help individuals and couples overcome emotional distress and trauma.
You've tried the talk therapy thing before, but it's not working or as helpful as you hoped. Even with self-awareness, there's still a sense of shame, betrayal, hurt, and loss that seems to cling to you. These emotions can lead to a growing distance in important relationships, or a disconnect within yourself. You may feel lost and uncertain at times about how to move forward, like being stuck in a fog without a clear path to safety. However, we can work together through this difficult terrain to find the path towards the refuge of reconnection, healing, and remembering

Are you having a challenging time managing life stressors, emotions, or relationships? If so, therapy might be an excellent tool for you! My ideal client is an adult who has experienced childhood trauma and currently suffers from anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I believe that a good fit is key to the therapeutic process and clients’ overall success! Which is why I am also passionate about client comfort and recognize that clients sometimes feel more confident opening up in different environments. For that reason, I can accommodate sessions in non-traditional therapeutic settings (beaches, parks, etc.)

I enjoy working with people on a myriad of issues that come up in life, phase of life, relationship issues, grief and loss, parenting, struggles with sexuality and sexual identity, and the obstacles that are in the way of an unfulfilled life.
Most of us go through difficult periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, alone, and confused. Sometimes, inevitable events in life, even happy ones, like starting a relationship, going off to college, or retirement, expose the wounds and memories from a recent or distant past that make the current situation painful and unbearable. While we survive those situations and adapt to the new realities of our circumstances, psychotherapy, specifically psychodynamic psychotherapy uses these moments as opportunities for a path for self-discovery and a chance to reevaluate our priorities and find meaning and purpose in our lives.
