Sex Therapists in Upland, CA
My goal is to restore health, well-being, and purpose, and to facilitate connection between clients and their loved ones. I believe that problems arise when people become disconnected from themselves and others. They become stuck in patterns of fear and anxious clinging, detachment and avoidance, disappointment and anger. The unpleasant residue of old traumas, disappointments, and losses interferes with people's success and joy in life. I help people release old patterns and reconnect to their life energy so they can enjoy healthy functioning, experience lovingkindness for self and others, and remember their life purpose.

My ideal client is one who has a metaphysical world view or has an interest in Jungian Analysis / Depth Work / Dream Analysis / Alchemy / Mysticism/ Faith Based paradigms and would like guidance in discerning their personal experiences with synchronicity, dreamscape, archetypal relationship dynamics, metaphysics, or other aspects of their unique individuation journey. I tend to work with artists, teachers, students, writers, musicians, and other mental health providers who are seeking a psycho-spiritual lens that is tempered by a blending of metaphysics and science so that protocols stay evidence based and backed by research.

I practice from two different modalities: Reality Therapy and Insight Therapy. Reality Therapy (Choice-Centered approach) helps the patient determine how effective their behaviors have been in fulfilling their needs and then works with the patient to determine a plan for more effective actions. Insight Therapy encourages empowerment of the individual which implies personal responsibility for one's behavior. I specialize in working with patients needing assistance with Anger Management, Marital/Premarital Counseling, Individual/Adolescent Counseling, Loss & Bereavement Recovery, Sexual Addiction/Recovery, Personal Growth & Enrichment, and Divorce Healing. I also possess knowledge in understanding acute mental illness symptoms from my training at Riverside Psyciatric Hospital.

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.
