I am a certified sex therapist that focus on sexual satisfaction for adults and couples .
You are successful. Others often make comments about how "perfect your life is" because from the outside they see someone with a perfect marriage, great kids, and a wonderful job. But on the inside you feel anything but perfect. You are struggling to keep your head above water, you haven't felt connected to your spouse in months, sex has disappeared and you no longer have the energy to even try to initiate intimacy. You're frustrated with most or all areas of your life and feel like you have no one to turn to that will understand.

The gift of therapy cannot be truly measured in words or action, but in how you feel afterwards. Your decision to begin psychotherapy was probably made after a great deal of thought and consideration. Selecting a therapist who will be a good fit for you is critical since the process of psychotherapy is intense, and a satisfactory outcome is essential. I provide a broad spectrum of evaluation and psychotherapeutic services with individuals, couples , families, and groups. My approach is collaborative, seeking solutions within your value system.

I have experience working with adults, couples , families and children.
My first job as a therapist is to listen and understand. Deep listening is a time honored tradition and fundamental to healing. I strive to create a safe and nurturing relationship with clients that is a source of comfort and inspiration. Clients inspire me too! I practice spiritually grounded psychotherapy. This means I see life's challenges as, fundamentally, opportunities to grow spiritually and as a whole person. To me, the process of healing is beautiful and miraculous, something that gives us glimpses of a benevolent force much greater than ourselves.

Presence, trust, and connection are the basic ingredients for any healing relationship .
As a queer first-generation immigrant, my passions and experiences are rooted in working with LGBTQIA2s+ and BIPOC folks, and people living in marginalized bodies. I provide therapy that is poly, kink, gender, and neurodivergent affirming. Our work together will seek to unearth and honor your true essence, what you value, and who you want to be in this life. This can be challenging work, and I will encourage you to tell me what is and isn’t working. My hope for you is to feel liberated, to engage in patterns and relationships that nurture your potential, and to help you feel at home in your body and safe in community.

I strongly believe that good therapy begins with a positive therapeutic relationship .
Are you feeling stuck in life and constantly juggling between personal space and various obligations? Do you tend to be hard on yourself and often “take the blame” in relationships? Do you feel the need to be there for others but often forget about yours? Whether you are beginning on therapy journey or continuing on, the growth towards self-understanding and awareness is the first step of healing. My therapeutic approach is warm, non-judgmental and collaborative. My theoretical orientation adopts an integrative approach that incorporates psychodynamic, interpersonal process and mindfulness.

I place a high value on a therapeutic, non-judgmental relationship centered around deep listening.
I believe that everyone has the ability to live a balanced and fulfilling life. Change is inevitable and natural. During challenging times, we seek the path back to our inner wisdom. As a school counselor and teacher for twenty five years, I learned a great deal about how unique our learning and personality styles are. I enjoy helping adults embrace who they are to gain clarity, improve relationships, cope with stress, and regain a sense of well-being.

Whether you are dealing with feeling stressed, alone, depressed, anxious, addicted, disconnected, or struggling within your relationship , it can change! A healthy integration of mind, brain and relationships enable you to feel open, connected, engaged, harmonious, compassionate, and energized.
Do you ever wonder, despite all your knowledge and efforts for growth that you still end up in a pattern of doing the same thing over and over again? Well, it's not your fault and there is a way to change it. When we are free to truly see and understand the connection to our brain, body, mind, and relationships, we can actually rewire our brains to build new neural pathways for new ways of thinking and being. Most of what we do, we have no idea why we do it; almost 85% is not on a conscious level.

I work with individuals and offer limited sessions with couples and larger circles of people.
Life is packed with change and challenge. And sometimes that negatively impacts our life, altering our thoughts and feelings, creating confusion, distress, anger, grief and disconnection. My goal is to support you in navigating these abrupt or lingering life transitions that block you from living fully. You may be shattered by a life altering diagnosis, unexpectedly caring for a parent or partner , pushing against aging, loss and grief, feeling isolated, or coming to see the world changed after covid or your gender transition. Let’s work toward bolstering internal and external support to help you flourish on your life's journey.

Let’s face it- deciding to seek therapy often feels pretty scary. It takes courage, and sometimes desperation, to walk into this unfamiliar relationship . Navigating life's losses and transitions is one of our most challenging tasks, and sometimes we need some help steering the boat. I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to explore their inner world of experience and outer world in relationship with others. That might mean help with various life transitions and losses, such as divorce or the death of a loved one. A former nurse, I also see many health care professionals, and can understand the unique challenges they face.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
