You want relief from constant stress and the weight of carrying more than others see.

Many people I work with are navigating mood issues, gender-related concerns, emotional distress, or are generally unhappy in life and are not sure how to feel better. They may feel stuck in patterns of thought or behavior, unsure of how to move forward. They want a therapist who is thoughtful and collaborative, someone who can help them reflect deeply while also offering tools to make meaningful change in their lives.

Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today.
These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health.
In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

People come to treatment for a variety of reasons.I view each person as unique and strive to assist individuals to overcome challenges and meet the goals that are important in their lives. As we work to let go of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that are not useful in the present, new healthier patterns can emerge and be adopted. Treatment is always focused on achieving a greater sense of comfort and satisfaction, psychologically, emotionally physically and spiritually.

I believe an important part of the therapy process is developing a flexible and collaborative relationship in which the client feels safe to explore, understand, and change relationships and behaviors, so that he or she may grow in a satisfying, creative, and life enhancing way. I have worked as a clinician for over twenty years and maintain a general practice for adults, families and children.

I work with clients experiencing any of the following issues: anxiety, work-related stress, sexuality issues, relationship issues, depression, over-partying, HIV+, cancer, creative blocks, life transitions, career goals, family issues, etc.

That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

I specialize in rekindling trust and eroticism in relationships and supporting men through mental health challenges without stigma. I also take pride in the work I do in schools and with teens.

As a Therapist, I play a risky role in my client's life. I have the potential to become another fearful problematic relationship, which is, in most cases, the repetitive maladaptive pattern of functioning that causes clients to find themselves in tuff situations. I help people work on changing behaviors and deal with grief, anxiety, anger, and depression in a non-damaging approach to preserve my client's self-esteem and effectively make necessary changes. My goal of treatment is to help you protect your peace and learn what emotions are telling you to do.

Feeling the struggle - both personally and with the weight of the world today? It might feel like the stress is too just much. This sadness and anxiety can feel overwhelming and isolating, and we might even feel grief. We can grieve the loss of a person, a relationship, a community, a job, or an identity. Grief is a natural response to all kinds of loss - changing relationships, losing a job, moving to a new city, experiencing decreased physical or mental functioning, confronting our own mortality, or becoming disillusioned about the state of the world. We can also grieve the loss of a vision or expectation for the future.

Therapy is a process that promotes exploration and self-discovery. We all live with internal challenges that may have been caused by external stressors. Sometimes in life we need to really set aside time to slow down, take a look at ourselves and attempt to answer the question “Who are you?” Many of us define our lives by our occupation yet the answer to this question goes much deeper. Who we are as individuals can dictate how we deal with stress, how we make decisions and even how we take care of ourselves.

I am a doctoral licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist with specialized experience in addressing sexual and relational concerns such as intimacy, communication, desire, arousal, pain, kink, atypical sexual interests, and sexual behavior challenges as well as postpartum stress, cancer, major health-related changes, or chronic illness.
Therapy is an invaluable opportunity for individuals and couples to learn about themselves and the relationships that they want to cultivate. Whether you are thinking about working through a particular issue, hoping to gain clarity and focus in future decisions, or considering a short-term "check-up", I will work with you in a safe, non-judgmental space that cultivates compassion, healing, and growth. I believe in the power of building on each person/couple's strengths and discovering, through a collaborative approach, new ways to adapt and grow.
