I am here to form a strong relationship with you, to be genuine, compassionate and authentic.
When I’m in session with you I’m completely focused on you and your needs. Therapy is a special time for you to sort out your needs, wants and emotions in a safe way. I’m a Vietnam era veteran who has worked with combat veterans with severe PTSD combined with alcoholism and drug dependence for 22 years. Combat trauma and childhood trauma are frequently entwined within and create many life problems. Let me help you sort that out on your journey to healing. My sessions with you I consider sacred space and a place of healing. Owning your story takes bravery and is an integral part of the journey towards transformative change.

I treat patients with erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia (the inability to orgasm), sexual pain, and other psychophysiologic sexual concerns. I also love working with couples, individuals, and polycules with relational challenges. Sometimes our challenge is not the way we relate to the world, but the way the world relates to us, so clients who are asexual, demisexual, sapiosexual, monogamous, or polyamorous are always welcome in my therapeutic space. Your relational (sociosexual) orientation is important! I also have an affinity for working with the BIPOC and LQTBQ+ community, as well as the kinky and neurodiverse.

Sometimes couples, families, and individuals, have gone through crises, trauma, or reached a time in their lives when coping skills, successful in the past, are no longer working.
Relationships are blessings in our lives but often a source of deep pain. I see so many children, families, and couples distressed with life: unable to experience the blessings; and unable to find peace and satisfaction. In those situations, communication patterns are often marked with defensiveness, criticism, and sometimes even contempt. Sometimes families and couples have stopped talking altogether, unable to find the caring and understanding that once filled their relationships. My practice specializes in Couples/Family relationships and communication challenges - helping folks learn to listen, understand, and love.

Life presents us with many challenges. Everyone experiences a degree of distress or worry along the way.

My style is warm and collaborative.

I offer counseling services for couples, families, and individuals to help them understand the addictive cycle and to implement recovery for family members of all ages.
When addiction is present in a family, its effects are not only felt by the addict, they also have a profound impact on the entire family system. By including all family members in the recovery process, I can help the healing begin and offer support for the trauma that everyone has experienced.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
