I work with individuals or couples of any gender or orientation who seek help for sexual relationship issues. These issues are not limited to, but include arousal and orgasm, sexual desire, compulsive sexual behavior, masturbation issues, premature or delayed ejaculation, pain during sexual activity and psychological issues around monogamy, infidelity, boredom and wanting a change in one's sexual repertoire. The goal is often increased eroticism, heightened intimacy, and decreased anxiety during sex. My aim is for you to overcome the problems that result from negative feelings and behaviors and to achieve your full sexual potential.

Are you missing the passion in your relationship? Does it seem like you and your significant other just can't communicate and you keep having the same arguments?

I help couples re-establish the connection that brought them together, improve communication, increasing trust and acceptance, and creating lasting strategies to stay together.

Does your life, or your families life, feel out of control? I help individuals and families, particularly those struggling with anxiety, create (or re-create) structure, balance, and boundaries back into their daily lives. My experience working with those struggling with anxiety, has shown that often unhealthy thinking has played a role in the development of the anxious thoughts or behaviors. By breaking the cycle of negative thinking, I can help individuals and families learn new behaviors to replace those that led to and aided in the anxiety.

Fuck! Is this as good as it gets? I know the “happily ever after” thing is a bit of a fairy tale, but I never imagined that in marrying the person of my dreams I would one day be dreaming for someone/something more. Sex has become an obligation… a transaction to keep the peace. The desire for passion is imprisoned in my dreams and fantasies… it is not present in my relationship from either of us. We could keep going like this, raise our kids, take vacations once a year… I’m sure things will be fine! But is it bad to say…I want more than FINE! I want fucking Fantastic! This was a chat I had with a client during a recent consult call.

My therapeutic approach stems from the belief that at some point in our lives, we all could benefit from speaking to a professional to help us navigate through whatever issues are holding us back. For some, the desire to seek support happens early in life and for others it happens later. Whether issues stem from life changes, mental health disorders, or external stressors, I believe now is always the right time to start working towards a greater understanding of yourself and your needs. Through working in collaboration with my clients, I hope to help them heal and become the best version of themselves that they've ever known.

It can be difficult to ask for help, especially from someone you don't know at a time when you are feeling depressed, anxious, or traumatized. But making an appointment is your first step towards positive change. My first priority is to provide you with a safe and supportive setting, so we can work together to find the tools you need to solve the problems that brought you into therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Neurofeedback, a non-drug therapies are scientifically supported methods shown to promote effective and enduring change. Since 1986 I have specialized in treating trauma and anxiety with adults and children.

The clients I see in my practice range in age from 11-80. While each individual has their own story, there are common threads that seem to run through all of us. These threads include loneliness/isolation, anxiety about the future, addiction, the aftermath of heartbreak/loss, work/money stress, longing to understand one’s past, even worry over the ever-changing state of the world. These and other issues, while painful and often confusing, are actually the materials that create change and growth. This is the therapeutic process.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, parents, and families. In addition to individual and family therapy, I have run groups with adolescents and adults. I work with a wide range of clinical issues including anxiety, depression, family conflict, self-esteem, coming out, trauma and crisis management and am passionate about working with young people, and the LGBTQ+ community. My person-centered approach to counseling involves socratic questioning, uncovering hidden strengths, and realizing one's own unique gifts.

All of life's unknowns can be terrifying, but everything you want for yourself to live your best life is on the other side of fear. Often it requires us to be much more compassionate with ourselves on our way towards growth. Compassion to recognize that growth takes time and moving from point A to Z doesn’t happen overnight. Change is clearly not easy. If it were there would be no need for anyone’s assistance as we grow and change. When we distract ourselves in any way, such as with tv, cleaning, alcohol, or any other means of checking out, we are in a state of avoidance.
