A "desire line" is a foot path made by us – people walking over time, as we discover that the path made for us isn't the easiest, safest or most fun route to walk. Desire lines remind us that we are not alone with our longing, frustration or irritation, nor are we alone in our search for fulfillment, peace or pleasure. Desire lines are also a good metaphor for life. Maybe you are on an unchosen or changing path and you're looking for a therapist to help navigate new territory.
I offer Discernment Counseling, relationship therapy and sex therapy for individuals and couples. If you are struggling with infidelity, pornography, low desire, erectile dysfunction, or the decision to even try therapy at all, I can help. I also offer a special welcome for LGBTQ people and people exploring non monogamy and kink.
