Relationships are my expertise, especially issues of broken trust, communication, intimacy and addiction. Perfect partners don't exist, but intimate partnerships should be a safe haven of affection and support. Whether you are dating or engaged, married or contemplating divorce, "straight" or LGBTQIA, monogamous, poly, kinky or vanilla, Millenial or retired, you CAN restore safety, trust and joyful connection! With 40+ years of clinical experience, my toolbox is full of skills and concepts to take your relationship from struggling to strong! Telehealth only. No insurance accepted, but receipts are provided for OON use.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing crisis due to infidelity, sex and porn addiction, and other challenges. I am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and a Certified Clinician for Partners of Sex Addicts. I am the author of The Porn Solution: Relationship Repair After Pornography Betrayal, Sano Press.
I promise to treat you with respect and confidentiality, striving for compassionate understanding, not finding fault, shaming or blaming. I know firsthand the profound changes that can result from working with a skilled therapist. I would be honored to play a role in your relationship success!
