As a Certified Sex Addictions Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and co-founder of the Center for Sexual and Relational Health, I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with sexual/porn addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, infidelity, and the associated trauma from those behaviors. Because sexual/porn addiction impacts the entire family system, I am also a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist as I help partners navigate the emotional impact created by the problematic behaviors of their loved ones. I journey alongside my clients to help them create a new narrative for themselves so they can move forward.

I help children, adolescents, adults, families reduce stress, resolve crisis, & integrate trauma/grief using a strength-based, supportive relationship and evidence-based practices (play/expressive therapy, EMDR, Mind Body Medicine, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems).
Do you feel afraid, worried, alone, helpless? Are you constantly reminded of a painful or terrifying experience that has interrupted your life and shattered your sense of trust, safety, and control? Are your circumstances so overwhelming you cannot cope and feel that no one will understand? Maybe you are experiencing a challenging life transition or health concern, and you need support for yourself, your child, or your family. No matter what trauma, loss, or life transition you are facing, THERE IS HOPE. You CAN resolve the problem, heal the pain, find peace and experience the GIFT of wellness.

Those thoughts, those patterns, they often stem from the tangled mess of your past - family dysfunction, societal pressures, toxic relationships, or even religion.
Feeling lost? Angry? Maybe even a little broken? That's okay. In therapy, there are no masks, no need to hide your true feelings. You can cuss, cry, or scream if you want. It's your space to be unapologetically you, without expectations or judgments. Maybe you've been through therapy before, and while it helped to have someone listen & give you coping skills, it was like slapping a Band-Aid on a wound. You know logically what you should do, but your emotions keep dragging you down different paths. Those thoughts of not being good enough, needing to please everyone, or striving for perfection, They're suffocating, aren't they?

It is my mission to help people who are hurting emotionally. It has been my experience that we all go through times when we can use a professional to offer a nonjudgmental, empathetic ear. As a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist, I see individuals, couples and families. I am a great fit for those who are dedicated and desiring change. I like to give lots of resources and homework yet only if it is preferred by the client. Sometimes life only allows us to have the session time to work on things and that’s okay too.

Being part of the LGBTQIA or Poly community in the South can be BEYOND isolating. You feel pressured to hide your identity, struggling to find acceptance from your friends and family, all while trying to navigate the coming out process or transition. You feel stuck. Unsure of your identity. Tired of questioning. Uncomfortable in the skin you're in. You just want to feel like yourself and be able to go out with your partner(s) without the constant nagging fears and insecurities.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
