I am licensed as a clinical social worker and a marriage and family therapist, and I am also an AASECT-certified sex therapist.
I concentrate on helping patients explore and enrich emotional and sexual intimacy, improve their communication skills, and address conflicts in relationships. I am equally comfortable navigating current concerns and challenges, while also working 'below the surface' to explore factors that influence the capacity to feel more authentic and valued.

My areas of expertise include individual and couples therapy involving topics of sexuality and gender journeys, sex therapy, sexual disorders/dysfunction, BDSM/kink, relationship therapy, related depression and/or anxiety, and trauma.
Sometimes we find ourselves lost and need help getting back on the path to our best selves. Therapy can assist you on getting back on that path through collaborative self discovery. I believe people are the experts of their own experiences and together we can find and repair tools that are going to get you to where you want to go.

I work with adults and couples who want to explore the unconscious patterns shaping their relationships, sexuality, and inner life.
I offer a nonjudgmental space for those navigating issues of intimacy, desire, and relational complexity. True therapeutic progress often involves confronting deep-seated emotional wounds and fears; through sustained, reflective work, we can uncover the internal conflicts that keep you feeling stuck and move toward greater emotional freedom.

Throughout my work, I have learned that many people feel confused, lost, alone and ashamed when it comes to sex.
While I am trained as a couples therapist, I have in recent years specialized in working with individual men who are experiencing what I call Out of Control Sexual Behavior (" sex addiction"). I also run a weekly psychotherapy group for these men. If you are interested in joining the group or referring a client, feel free to contact me to learn more.

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Sex Therapy.
My ideal clients are those who are experiencing difficulties with their relationships and are looking for a compassionate person to validate that what they are experiencing is real and legitimate. I enjoy working with clients who have decided that wherever they are is not where they want to be and today is the day to make change. Therapy is not always easy or fast, but it has the power to shift one from hopeless to joyful for those who are willing to do the hard work.

You may be navigating relationship, intimacy/ sex concerns, or feeling weighed down by grief/trauma, past experiences, self-critical thoughts, or loneliness—or carrying a lingering feeling that’s difficult to name and even harder to shake.
I draw from psychodynamic and existential work and other modalities like DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, parts work (IFS), and somatic-based practices, and many other depending on your needs. As a certified sex therapist informed counselor, I work with couples navigating challenges related to trauma, intimacy, attachment, communication, and desire discrepancy.

Do you feel like you're constantly letting people down, even when you're trying your hardest? You're successful on paper, but inside you're scattered, forgetting commitments, saying yes when you mean no. The pressure to perform is relentless at work, and your relationships are strained because you're either hyperfocused on tasks or too overwhelmed to show up. Shame and guilt are constant companions. Maybe it's ADHD, maybe it's anxiety, maybe it's just how your brain works, but adulting feels impossible. Intimacy brings more stress than connection. You're exhausted from white-knuckling through life and ready to understand why.
