Life is sometimes met with challenges, disappointments, confusion, loss, betrayal and fear; these feelings, thoughts and experiences have proven difficult for us to navigate at times and thus may require professional help to find a path forward. The focus is to assist clients in developing the necessary skills to be mentally resilient, better function in relationships, explore/own sexual -self, develop a healthy sense of self and be confident with their own identities.

You are calling because you want help, relief, and improvement as soon as possible. I have 35 years of experience specializing in individual therapy, marriage/couples counseling, and sex therapy . Using an integrative approach, we will develop a clear articulation of your problem and a clear plan to get more out of life. We will use techniques addressing anxiety, depression, sexual issues, ineffective communication, self-defeating patterns, feelings of hopeless or sadness. You may know what you are feeling, but not the solution. My job is to relieve suffering and enhance your wellbeing and your relationship with others.

At Sexual Health and Healing, we offer a sex positive approach to helping people with many sexual and relationship issues.

Are you finding it hard to break free of the same disagreements, while feeling unheard or unrecognized by your partner? I enjoy working with couples and individuals that are struggling with communication, trust, anxiety, depression, recurring disagreements, infidelity and affair recovery, sexual challenges, performance anxiety, erectile difficulty, co-parenting and evolving relationship structures. If you want to improve your relationship while bringing light to what's been avoided in the past, I think we could be a good fit. I don't take insurance and work in a virtual/telehealth format.

I am dedicated to helping couples and individuals strengthen their relationships, build security, and navigate the challenges that can arise in intimate partnerships. We are wired to connect with others, yet emotional and physical intimacy can be so tough at times. Often couples are impacted by differences in desire, emotional expressiveness, upbringing, communication, broken trust, or past traumas. It makes sense why relationships can be so hard to do on our own, but we are all capable of loving, safe, and healthy intimacy. I would love to help you break out of the frustrating relationship cycle you may feel stuck in.

You want to feel better and do better in your life, and now, perhaps more than ever, you need someone – someone REALLY helpful – “in your corner” to help you turn things around. I’m willing and able to do just that. Together, we can do this: I use a range of solution-focused approaches: treatments that work (CBT, DBT, and whatever else works). We’ll figure out exactly how you’ve “gotten here,” plan a way out, and I’ll guide you along the way…as we activate your strengths and your inner resources to live a better life. I work with adults, teens, and families and I’m available immediately to give you the help you need and deserve.

Complicated as they are, relationships are the backbone of healing and the foundation from which we all can thrive. How we relate to ourselves and to others is paramount in shaping our worldview and our ability to live happier, healthier lives. It starts with an introduction; where we go from there - well, the possibilities are boundless.

Welcome! Going through a difficult time or a time in which you’re flooded with more questions than answers is hard but it can also be an invitation to discover strengths and supports you may not know you had. In therapy, you are invited to take care of yourself with more commitment, find what matters most to you, and listen deeply for answers inside of yourself. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can begin your journey home to yourself.
