Sex Therapy in 40511

As a sex and relationship therapist, I am passionate about guiding people in the journey of exploring their true self. As a person learns to love and accept themselves, they are able to experience a deeper level of intimacy and connection with others. The most gratifying relationship is one that involves two people who are able to connect emotionally, intellectually, sexually and spiritually. I look forward to working with individuals and couples who desire to reach a healthier view of themselves, their relationships and their sexuality. As vulnerable as it can feel to engage in therapy, it can also be a rewarding journey.

Challenges in life are inevitable and nobody should have to go through them alone. Whether the challenge is personal, relational or familial I can help find the solutions, reach the goals and conquer the problems with you. I have been in the mental health field for over ten years and have worked in numerous settings and with multiple populations. Be it a family struggling with a child's behavior, single mother's looking for hope, trauma, or other mental health struggles I am ready to take the journey with you.

My counseling focus is Marriage and Relationship counseling as well as depression and anxiety. I believe our core problems tend to stem from our desire to be validated and loved by others. When we do not feel worthy, "good enough" or loved we engage in self-protective behaviors (fight or flee), pain comes to the surface and we experience hurt, anger, anxiety and other destructive emotions.

Wanting to move toward being the best and most authentic version of yourself? Just needing a bit of help or push? I'm here to do just that in an open-minded, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment! I believe the counselor and client relationship is a collaboration where the client’s experiences and feelings are combined with the counselor’s tools and knowledge to help facilitate movement forward, while processing the client’s past. I do this utilizing a multitude of evidence based approaches such cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy.

Your authentic self is waiting for you! Challenging or traumatic life experiences often overshadow our authentic selves. We may feel stuck, lack motivation, or chronically procrastinate. Irrational and self defeating thoughts lead to fear, anxiety, depression, excessive worry, and may manifest in physical symptoms. When we live in this cycle too long it becomes our normal. We may recycle past trauma into present relationships. We find harmful ways to cope; such as people pleasing, codependency and addictive behaviors including, but not limited to substance abuse.

Life can be difficult. Sometimes we need some help. Do you need help to get back on track? Do you need assistance to overcome continual struggles and relational conflicts? I can help you get moving in the right direction. I will assist you in this process not with simple advice or a few superficial skills but with insightful interaction and relational engagement. Your life can change! I can support you each step of the way towards a life with more purpose, harmony and peace. Life can be different. Contact me. Meet with me one time and see change is possible.

I provide an effective approach to counseling that is based on helping you in your specific circumstances. I understand that life is full of different seasons. Perhaps you’re feeling anxious or sad.

I have experience working with both children and adults, and have worked extensively with other professional persons, including physicians, lawyers, executives, teachers and other psychotherapists. If you have had brief therapies in the past, and have found them ineffective at mitigating distressing symptoms, a more in-depth approach may be beneficial. I have gained considerable insight from my own experiences with psychotherapy, consisting of individual psychoanalysis and in-depth couples therapy, which have informed my practice in ways that no amount of schooling could have otherwise provided,

I'M CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Do you find you and your partner struggling from the fallout of infidelity? Do you, or someone you love struggle with sexually compulsive behavior or sex addiction? Do you or your spouse suffer from low sexual desire? Research finds that individuals who are in a relationship with someone who has committed infidelity, whether it is online or in person, experience relational trauma. Finding ways to resolve these issues and restoring sexual and relational intimacy can be a lonely venture. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who struggle with these issues.
