Relationships, and how we communicate in them, is one of the most important skills I teach.
I believe communication is often more at the core of quality relationships than digging into our deep, dark, past issues...
Research, and over 35 years as a psychotherapist, clearly show that effective therapy is not a set of skills or techniques, but a way of being.
Our here & now experience is the fuel of therapy.

Therapists are like shoes. You have to try some on before you find one that fits.

I’m an online couples therapist in CA and FL who believes honesty heals more than neutrality. I help partners break painful patterns, rebuild respect, and reconnect with honesty and empathy. I specialize in neurodiverse and cross-cultural couples, intimacy repair, and helping partners move from disconnection to understanding and growth. You might be ready for someone who is warm, direct, and deeply engaged—who doesn't sit back and stay neutral; who sometimes takes sides when it serves the relationship. Not everything is 50/50.

This can be especially painful if you grew up with religious sexual shame, purity culture, misinformation about sexuality, or labels like “ sex addiction” that left you feeling more broken than understood.

Instead of attacking your sexuality, we slow down & listen deeply. The goal is not shame-based suppression. The goal is self-trust, healing, compassion, and a more shame-free relationship with your sexual desire & identity.

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.
