As a psychologist/sexologist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist on faculty at Johns Hopkins University, I specialize in marital sexual functioning, problematic Internet sexual behaviors, and sexual addiction and compulsivity. I also specialize in intimacy challenges for couples and individuals who are looking to improve their happiness as it is related to their relationships. Common challenges to sexual satisfaction can include internet sexual problems, infidelity , marital conflicts, low sexual desire, erection and/or arousal difficulties, premature ejaculation or orgasm difficulties, and performance and sexual anxiety.

Although the desire for romantic intimacy is perfectly natural, long term intimate relationships are rarely naturally perfect. For over 30 years I have dedicated my professional life to helping individuals and couples fine tune their not-always naturally perfect relationships. Although I am a clinical psychologist who continues to treat individuals suffering from the full spectrum of psychological disorders, most of my career has been devoted to working with individuals and couples experiencing marital, relationship, and/or sexual concerns; to assisting couples seeking relief from the trauma of infidelity ; and to treating individuals suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder or anger control issues.

Hello and welcome to Boyle Counseling Services! Life brings many challenges and sometimes we need outside guidance and support. I have over 18 years of clinical experience helping couples and individuals navigate those challenges. My clients have described me as warm, easy to connect with, and caring.

I grew up in the Maryland suburbs outside of Washington, DC. I acquired my bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins and a master of social work degree from University of Pennsylvania. I have been licensed and practicing since 2015. I work with individual adults and couples. I have extensive experience working with grief, adjustment to illness, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the varied ambiguities of marriage, extramarital affairs , and separation. I am nonjudgmental, patient, and attentive.

As a sex therapist, I specialize in treating all sexual issues. These often include relationship challenges and sexual problems such as lack of desire/low libido, difficulty with arousal, erections, premature ejaculation and trouble reaching orgasm. Anxiety about sexual performance, lost intimacy, sexual abuse, infidelity , menopause, illness and aging can also interfere with sexual satisfaction. Sex therapy may address problematic or illegal sexual behaviors, sexual compulsivity, paraphilias and fetishes. Clients can benefit from exploring issues surrounding sexual orientation, gender identity, asexuality, polyamory and kink.

Our interpersonal relationships are at the core of leading meaningful and fulfilled lives. When these relationships suffer, it can leave us with feelings of despair, loneliness, and loss. Whether it be a breach of trust through infidelity , a loss of connection, or persistent fights without resolve, we will work together to restore and strengthen these bonds. We all have the capacity for change, but sometimes need help getting there. Together, we will figure out what is working, what isn’t, and how we can build intentional and strong connections with those we love.

Through our dialogue, I work to bring to consciousness the fears, conflicts and inhibitions that prevent you from living a fully realized life. In this way, I hope to help you draw on your own inner wisdom in order to create positive change. The following quotation by Rainer Maria Rilke resonates with my perspective on change: "Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

I am passionate about helping those who: struggle with addictive behavior, love someone who struggles with addictive behavior, don't identify with a specific addiction but find themselves in survival mode or generally unhappy in life and relationships, or, have worked through a lot of issues but want to take things to the next level and infuse more well-being into their life. I also love working with couples facing challenges related to recovery, communication and/or boundary issues. This is particularly helpful for couples seeking recovery and repair from sexual addiction or betrayal .

I give my clients effective tools to break down the walls of anger that block them from emotional and physical intimacy. Couples feel more hopeful and positive about their relationship as well as a renewed sense of closeness and trust.

The therapists at Insight Therapy have experience treating individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, adjustment disorders, addictions, ADHD, anger management issues, depression, chronic illness and pain, infidelity , OCD, mood disorders, PTSD, relationship issues, and self-esteem or body image issues. We meet clients where they're at with empathy and compassion, while also challenging and guiding them to meet their needs and goals.

I believe that all individuals deserve a space to feel safe to discuss their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Exploring ways to become more present with oneself is essential to positive social growth. I provide a collaborative, caring, and non-judgmental approach to treatment. I assist clients in their journeys to better communication, a positive perspective on life, coping with trauma, understanding Self, and resolving conflict.

With the demands of everyday life, our own emotional demands can often go unmet- causing pain, discomfort, bitterness, and frustration. Taking a step back from the responsibilities pulling us in all directions to closely examine our emotions and relationships can feel impossible, uncomfortable, or even intolerable. But if you're interested in pursuing therapy, you may have already realized the discomfort of things remaining "stuck" is worth trading for the discomfort that comes with growth. If you want to make changes and don't know where to start, talking it through with an empathic therapist can help.

Serving Maryland and New Jersey. As a Pastor for over 35 years, I can merge a spirituality with my clinical approach to therapy for those who wish it. For men who want to be free from compulsive sexual behaviors I use a blend of clinical and biblical principles and have seen many freed from decades of addiction. This is also true for marriages that have been broken due to infidelity , pornography, and sexual practices that are not agreed upon within the marriage. Working successfully to stop the unwanted behavior and develop appropriate coping skills, communication and restored trust, is very rewarding and satisfying.
