Are you feeling lost on how to "fix" your relationship or sex life?
Are you are struggling with a lack of emotional or physical intimacy in your relationship? Mismatched desire? Do you feel alone in your relationship and have arguments that go in circles? Or are you dealing with anxiety, depression or trauma? If so, I can help!
Most of us never learned how to create a healthy relationship or how to communicate effectively. If you're open to changing old patterns that aren't working, learn new ways to relate and love each other, then we could be a good match. With over 19 years experience as a psychotherapist, I offer a unique approach and tools to help you end the struggle and fall in love again.

You will learn to speak from the heart during challenges, transcend unhealthy relationship patterns, and connect with a fully embodied sexuality.
Relationship habits with intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit an attuned and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true experience and intentions. This is a source of relational wounds.
These missed opportunities for connection amplify during important life events such as medical procedures or cancer treatment and during transitional periods like becoming empty nesters, during the midlife years, the perimenopausal transformation, and heading into retirement.

As a skilled counselor and highly trained sex therapist, I will take a nonjudgmental, healing approach that promotes positive, sustainable change.
My life philosophy revolves around bringing loving kindness and acceptance into all parts of my life—including inside the therapeutic space. I believe we are all doing the best with the tools and experiences we were given, and that therapy can bring new meaning to those experiences. As a counselor, it is not my job to tell others how they should be—instead, I am here to accept my clients as they are while holding space for the areas in their lives that they want to change.

Have you been struggling with the transition into parenthood? Whether you're a new mom or dad, the early days of parenting can feel overwhelming, isolating, and unlike anything you expected.

My therapy is warm, light, and above all else, curious! Good questions are powerful. They can create a space for you to be fully seen, uncover a new strength in you or your relationship(s), and create openings so that what matters most has room to take root. Life can be challenging, (like, really challenging) and sometimes overwhelmingly so. The things we face might tell you that you aren't up to the task, or even lead you into thinking you aren't worthy… But they’re wrong. The life you want is yours to create, embrace, and enter into. And a good question can remind you that you don’t have to do it alone.

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.
