Do you experience painful sex, anxiety, struggle with starting or keeping an erection, and ejaculating sooner than you want? Perhaps you have a partner and you are anxious about how to communicate your true feelings or concerns about sex and intimacy. Being authentically you and communicating how you feel can be a real struggle. If this resonates with you, then know that you are not alone. Also, know that your fears are valid; it can feel painful to be rejected, not heard, not seen, and not fulfilled. These struggles are not a reflection of you as a person. They are a sign that there is an area that needs attention and support.

One of the best things my dad ever said to me was: Unless you believe in reincarnation, it’s time to be happy now. (Personally, I think this applies even if you do believe in reincarnation.) How to make the most of our time, our relationships, and ourselves - for me, these are the key questions that led me to become a marriage and family therapist. Along with traditional talk therapy, I use EMDR (if desired) to help you work through present challenges and past difficult experiences so that you can live more freely in the here and now - unencumbered by old self-defeating beliefs and fears.

With over twenty years experience in LGBTQ counseling, research, and teaching, I have a deep understanding of our community. Among LGBTQ individuals anxiety and depression may involve feelings of emptiness, relationship problems, interpersonal sensitivity, or addictions. The roots of these struggles can vary, but it helps to have a therapist who grasps the alienating impact of growing up in a world that disavows the core of who we are. I will help you address these issues, and others, through a deeper approach that can feel energizing, challenging, and even liberating.

Welcome! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with multiple subspecialties in anxiety, mindfulness, sports psychology, and addiction. If you're looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to process your concerns in a deep, thoughtful way; to challenge yourself and grow, but to also learn to provide yourself with self-compassion and understanding, then you've come to the right place. My aim is to provide depth of awareness coupled with pragmatic and tangible ways to make changes.

As a therapist, I am rooted in a cognitive approach based on insight. However, I also incorporate a psychodynamic, humanistic-existential, and trauma-focused perspective in my work. My main goal is to help you get unstuck and achieve your potential for a fulfilling and meaningful life. I aim to make our sessions inclusive and focused, while also bringing in some humor and lightness to enhance our therapeutic journey.

My personal and professional experience has equipped me with a practical understanding of the nuanced challenges that individuals face on their path to wellness, enabling me to offer tailored, empathetic support. I am deeply dedicated to fostering resilience, empowerment, and holistic well-being in those I serve, and I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards a brighter tomorrow. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations both local and abroad, honing my skills in mental health treatment, addiction recovery, and therapeutic interventions.

(Zoom Video sessions) My ideal client: A creative, motivated, and intelligent professional with an obsession, usually drugs/alcohol and/or sex. A higher percentage of creative people struggle with addiction, because they just don't know when to quit! Creatives frequently have low self-esteem, often despite proven success. Using cognitive (CBT) techniques and psychodynamic methods (how events from the past affect the present) I use a pragmatic, individualized approach. I include solution-focused and music/art therapy to help the client gain insight and put the insight to work to achieve realistic goals.

I help individuals and couples clarify and strengthen their relationship goals. Learning how to build more satisfying relationships leads to lasting change and empowerment. Old, less helpful ways of thinking are replaced with new, more realistic ideas of self-acceptance and how to rely on others. The result is a clearer picture of one's strengths, limitations, and belonging in the world.

Do you have the right life partner? Consider the following questions, and if most of your answers are yes, you may want to hold onto and work on that relationship. Which qualities attracted you to your spouse? Do they still have the qualities you found so attractive when you first met? Are they often honest, trustworthy, faithful, supportive and kind? Are they willing to change and grow to meet the dynamics of your relationship? Will divorce harm you or your family? Will staying married have a more harmful effect? How will the divorce affect your family, especially your children?

Therapy is a powerful tool for manifesting healing, improved functioning, and can bring tremendous rewards! This is most effective when a client is ready and willing to make change. It is my intention to be of loving service in supporting my clients as they courageously open themselves to learning, healing, and growing; we are a team, in creating the life they truly desire and deserve! I strive to facilitate deep healing, positive growth, and lasting change with a solution-oriented and strength-based approach. I endeavor to create an authentic and compassionate experience for every client, in every session. I invite you to dive in!
