Relationships are my expertise area, especially issues of broken trust, poor communication, intimacy and addiction. While there is no "perfect partner", intimate partnerships should be a source of joy, safety and support. Whether you are dating or engaged, married or contemplating divorce, "straight" or LGBTQIA, monogamous or poly, kinky or vanilla, in your 30's or retirement, you CAN feel understood by one another and have deep, joyful connection! With over 35 years of experience, my deep toolbox is full of skills and concepts that will move you forward together. (Couples sessions are 90 minutes; Individual 45 or 60 minutes).
I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing trauma due to infidelity, sex and porn addiction, divorce and other stressful life events. I am a certified Imago Relationship Therapist and 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 honored to play a role in your relationship success! Kindly note: I work by Telehealth and do not accept insurance.
