Concerns related to sex and intimacy are some of the most sensitive and personal. Experiencing sexual concerns, such as low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, or difficulty with orgasm no longer has to be secretive or embarrassing. Finding a therapist who is open, supportive, and has effective tools is imperative on the journey to satisfaction and pleasure. Using a Cognitive Behavioral & collaborative approach, I work with individuals or couples to help them further understand the concerns that effect them, their relationships, & their sexual functioning.

My career has been spent in treating persons experiencing eating and substance use disorders, PTSD, depression, anxiety, Career Difficulties, Agoraphobia, Anger Management, Divorce , OCD, Panic Attacks, Self Esteem, Social Anxiety, Grief, Social Anxiety, along with any other condition that has these ingredients present.

Perhaps you’re feeling a significant amount of stress, anxiety, or feelings of depression from relationship issues, an illness, fertility struggles, divorce , or having to care for children and/or aging parents or maybe you’ve recently become an empty-nester, or have reached retirement age.

Having someone available to listen and help you work through the joys and challenges you experience can be helpful and relieve some of the pressure. Together, we can get you feeling your best.

Therapy is a collaborative, supportive process. Individuals I see often wish to feel better, decrease stress, improve coping, improve relationships, work through transitions and/or difficult experiences, manage work/life balance, & feel better about themselves.

I also see families with adult children and provide family psychoeducation for mental illness. I am active in my profession and complete ongoing training to stay abreast of the best ways to assist people in achieving goals and improving their lives and relationships.

A sense of wellbeing is the outcome of psychotherapy. This is a journey that we take together. There is no magic way to reach wellbeing. Your wellbeing will be reached through the act of self reflection , establishing appropriate interpersonal boundaries, exploring and resolving grief from loss, increasing effective communication skills, learning problem resolution tools, creating realistic expectations of one's self and others, creating self preservation activities and resolving prior hurts that negatively affect your present life. All of these therapeutic gains are within the reach of the client in my psychotherapy office.

Highly sensitive old soul or empath, you and I will explore more deeply together than in traditional talk therapy. You've likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to "get" people from so many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body at a safe pace, and gently access the root of of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

You feel alone even when you're around others. Things that used to bring you joy are not on your schedule anymore. Your thoughts of work, school, relationships, and even food are overwhelming. You want to find answers but don't know where to begin. That is until now. You have taken the difficult step just to get here. This tells us both that things can get better, and they will get better. I want to collaborate with you, support you, and dedicate myself to helping you find those answers. Let's take this courageous journey together and find the way to feeling fulfilled, happy, and enjoying life.
