Healthy sexuality is our objective in sexual addiction. Sex is an integral and balanced part of life experience. Sexual behaviors become problematic when they violate vows and values, are dishonest, harmful to others, put you at risk, diminishes your joy in life, act as a barrier filled with shame, self-contempt, and isolation. Sexual health creates intimacy and closeness, characterized by trust, respect, joy and safety. Sexual health can be achieved by sex addicts in recovery. The trauma and addiction model identifies the trauma and internal system that underwrites addiction and does not view problematic behavior as moral failure.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. CURRENTLY ONLY PROVIDING TELETHERAPY SERVICES*** There is no universal blueprint for getting through life without a scratch. Life gets hard and sometimes it can feel like your entire world is spinning out of control. As your fellow human, I too, know feelings of pain and suffering. The heartache and confusion that often comes with broken relationships, addiction, and difficult life transitions. The sense of emptiness and lack of identity and direction that ebbs and flows as we move through our existence. None of us are exempt, but I’m here to tell you that you are not alone and that there is hope.

Whether its difficulty navigating a toxic work environment, dealing with a difficult boss, experiencing marriage or relationship problems, or feeling lost and alone you may need to evaluate what your needs or wants are. Your mind and body is telling you something if you are feeling stressed, feeling sad, have problems sleeping, feeling lonely even in a crowd, or getting angry over the littlest thing, its letting you know change needs to happen. We all struggle at times with trying to navigate life and I believe that we all could benefit from support. Reaching out for help is the key to working towards a healthier way of living.

Do you feel burnt out, exhausted, or overwhelmed? If so, know that you aren't alone. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides therapy to adults and adolescents with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and emotional eating. The process of therapy is not just “talking about your problems.” It is about building self-awareness, making changes to our thoughts and behaviors, as well as learning and practicing coping skills. Through the process, I help clients learn to cope with chronic physical health or emotional issues, manage relationship conflicts, and improve their overall well-being.

You might feel like you have lost the ability to truly feel happy. You are stuck, living a life that feels empty somehow. Or you have put others before yourself, maybe not knowing what you need or even who you are anymore. Maybe you are looking to walk your path in life in a way that is true to your heart. Or you are longing true connection with others. Sometimes you can’t seem to find what went wrong, or what is missing. You lost touch with yourself. The word “self” refers to your inner light, your truth. When you reconnect with it, you develop true relationships, intuition, creativity, self love, and find your voice in the world.

**Now accepting new clients for virtual or in-person therapy** The problems we bring to therapy are often complex and hard to deal with directly, but I believe there is hope and possibility in every circumstance or situation. The process can be uncomfortable, but in my approach to counseling, you can rest assured that the content and goals of therapy are in your control and are welcome to change. I engage my clients in a relationship that may assist them in becoming who they are, recovering from what weighs on them, redeeming their past, and making a bright future.

Belief: life is comprised of a multitude of experiences each shaping who we are and how we engage in the world around us. We have the ability to re-evaluate and transform difficult or traumatic experiences into something new; creating a more whole self. This takes work, a desire to self-reflect, and at times, move toward change.

I have been in practice as a licensed therapist for over 20 years and have experience with many issues. I appreciate the honor that my clients give me when they allow me into their private worlds to help them heal and grow, to set goals, and to do and become all they can dream.

I believe counseling is a partnership in which we work together in developing and implementing a plan to reach the clients treatment goals. Each client is unique and different, and I adjust according to the clients needs. I work well with clients who are ready to do the work to heal and grow. The client and I are active throughout the counseling process. I have found that this process is a journey towards healing and thriving in all areas of life.

***Accepting New Clients*** Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are the challenges of life becoming too much? Is excessive worry keeping you up at night? Life can present a host of challenges. When it does, it is important to have the support of a skilled professional who can help you navigate life's difficulties.

**Accepting new clients** We all experience times in life where things become overwhelming, and we may respond with frustration, sadness, anxiety, or even a complete loss of hope. I aim to assist clients who are facing these challenges, and help them find a new balance. I believe strongly in the human potential for growth and change, and have been privileged to assist clients who work hard to make this manifest in their own lives. I counsel clients who struggle with issues including addictions, relationships, depression/anxiety, and many other concerns that make life overwhelming and challenging.

Thriving relationships, healthy adult communication, and good boundaries are common topics at my office. Are you looking for help on any of these issues? I offer services for both individuals and couples. Did you know that everyone struggles with communicating to their partner sometimes? And everyone has those annoying disagreements with their partner that keep coming up? Did you also know that there has been a lot of research done identifying how to have a more helpful conversation with your partner? That's what I do; I help couples to to feel better after a disagreement instead of feeling worse and more disconnected.

My clients are often very high-functioning people who have held it together on the outside, while suffering internally for far too long. Many people believe that "trauma" has to be something extreme, and I often hear clients say, "My trauma isn't as bad as..." For the purposes of treatment, trauma is simply something that has happened to you that has changed the way you see the world. My clinical focus is to facilitate psychological and emotional healing from traumatic experience. Our brains do amazing things to keep us going while in survival mode. Sometimes they just need help knowing when survival mode is no longer necessary.

I believe that there is currently a large population of highly successful professionals who are struggling with issues of addiction, abuse, or trauma in an unhealthy way, such as watching pornography or sex. My clients are successful professionals who have areas in their lives that have become chaotic. My goal is to accurately assess then offer personalized, safe, therapeutic interventions.

I have been a counselor for 10 years. At this point, I only counsel females age 14+. My career has focused on anxiety, depression, self-worth, personal growth and development, adjustment issues, relationship struggles, communication problems, premarital counseling, etc. I have a strong desire to help people walk through their struggles, no matter how deep-rooted and dark or surface level they may be, to help them become their best self.
