Do you feel disconnected from people in your life? You are not alone. Relationships are often difficult because people struggle to connect with themselves. Connection is a basic human need. We long to connect with others and it starts by connecting with ourselves. This can be complicated by painful life experiences that lead to fear, mistrust, and hurt that can manifest in relationships with others, taint how we feel in the world at large, and impact how we see ourselves.

I love the opportunity to help my clients discover and live more fulfilling lives based on their unique goals and values. Before starting therapy, my clients tend to feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, panic, anger, and hopelessness. My encouraging and positive style has helped many move through these feelings and build the types of relationships, balance, and achievements they have always wanted. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and parents.

Unfulfilling sex with your partner causes doubt to seep into the relationship. In other aspects, everything is great. You get along, have similar values, and complement each other’s qualities. However, when it comes to sex, things are confusing and unsatisfying. It’s even become a chore. Every attempt at initiating sex ends in disappointment. It’s not just about sex, either. What you long for is the feeling of connection and deep intimacy. You wonder if you’re to blame. “Maybe I’d be more desirable if I wore different clothing or behaved differently.” Your biggest fear is that these issues are symptoms of a larger problem.

I take pride as a psychologist in the area of personal growth when dealing with life's challenges. This involves meeting your needs and starting where you are now and going from there. I work collaboratively in order for you to get to a 'better' place. I have accumulated a wealth of experience helping others combat challenges of not being able to have children by traditional means. I worked with patients exploring 'good' solutions to this heart-rending process. My goal involves helping individuals deal with the normal and not so normal life challenges of depression, self-esteem, anxiety, relationships, children, parents, and more.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. It is hard asking for help and it can be scary to think about finding the right therapist, but it does not have to be. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I create space to explore with care, kindness and collaboration.
