Hi. If you are struggling, give me a call. I am a licensed therapist, relationship specialist, and an AASECT certified sex therapist in the states of CT, FL, and VT. ​I work with an integrative style so I can design therapy around you. We will identify what isn't working for you, then target solutions. My judgement free approach can help you understand, work through, and resolve the dynamics that you want changed. I am dedicated to helping people resolve their emotional issues, sexual problems, and enhance their intimate relationships.​​​​​​​​ Now offering extended 90 minute sessions for couples! Call for details.
I am a therapist who specializes in anxiety issues, sexual dysfunctions, infidelities, sexual desire discrepancies, sexual trauma, and problematic sexual behavior. I am experienced in working with straight, LGBTQ+, Poly, Kink, and Non-monogamy clients. CBT, IFS, Strategic, Gottman, P-LI-SS-IT models are practiced in my successful talk therapies.
I help clients rebuild self esteem, relationships, emotional intimacy, and sexual connection in a way that feels honest and effective. My approach is compassionate yet challenging, positive yet direct, constructive yet humorous in a safe and hopeful environment!

Most honest answer to the question, "what type of therapy do I use?" is it really depends on my client and what they're asking us to work on. There is not one treatment modality that works for every issue, or for every person. That's why I take the time to try to understand who you are and what you would like to see change. I customize therapy around your needs, not depend on textbook suggestion.
