Clients who work with me will find an inviting and collaborative environment where they can bring their “whole” self, the “messy” parts included, and engage in a process to better understand their stories and contexts, while receiving practical suggestions to support their experiences both during and outside of therapy sessions. I enjoy working with clients who wish to get unstuck from repetitive, troublesome, or self-defeating patterns of relating to themselves, others, or their world.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I help men & women across the sexuality spectrum to overcome performance anxieties, sexual guilt & shame, communication issues, and infidelity.
Are you distracted by insecurities or unhelpful thoughts during sex? Can sex sometimes feel like a performance or an obligation to keep your partner happy? Do you worry that you'll disappoint your partner because of difficulties with erections or orgasm? Do you sometimes avoid partnered sex altogether because masturbating to porn feels less complicated than sex with a partner? If so, you’re not alone, and there's likely nothing "wrong" with you. You may simply be one of the many adults experiencing performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, or who simply have unhelpful beliefs about sex. The good news? I'm know how to help.

Being addicted to alcohol or drugs is like being in a dark pit where you do not know what is up and what is down. It is cold and lonely, and you can feel hopeless about finding any escape. Being the family member of a loved one who is struggling with addiction is scary and can leave you sad and in a constant state of uncertainty. You are always asking yourself why is your loved one pushing aside the life ring you toss out and grabbing the anchor of drugs and alcohol over and over and over again. You see they are drowning and feel you cannot save them. Addiction is insidious, but there are paths to recovery.

People want straight talk from a psychologist, not psychobabble. They don’t want a passive therapist who just listens. Nor do they want a know-it-all to tell them exactly what to do. They want a competent psychologist who gives real feedback about what he sees going on. They want someone with real life experience who can relate to their problems as a professional, a parent or a child. Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Evans had experience serving in the Peace Corps, running a business, getting married and having children.

Often we can find ourselves feeling disconnected in our relationships, overwhelmed with self doubt and criticism, and caught within the difficulties of anxiety and depression. Do you find that you and your partner/partners are cyclically entering the same argument with nothing changing? Do previous coping strategies no longer feel effective at this point in your life? I understand that navigating these challenges alone can feel next to impossible and I am happy to walk along side you in moving toward your goals and recognizing your innate strengths.
