Working with me, a Certified Sex Therapist, means that you will never have to worry about seeming weird, being judged, or offending me.
Sex and relationship problems can feel overwhelming and sometime even painful... AND they're hard to talk about! Then those problems start causing MORE problems in other parts of your life. BUT, what would it be like if you had the sexual relationship you wanted? or the intimacy you wanted? I provide a supportive, safe, non-judgmental, and private space for you to talk about the problems and pains without fear of judgment, shame, or guilt. If you're in a place where you're starting to feel like "I gotta do something," then call me now: 678.498.1465.

I am a Psychologist, Certified Sex Therapist, and Certified Gottman Therapist.
Are you troubled by self doubt, questioning your or your partner's level of commitment, or contemplating walking away from a relationship? Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from others or frustrated by an unsatisfying sex life. Is the conflict in your family extreme? Are you struggling to coparent effectively? You may be single and exasperated by the drama that sometimes comes along with dating. Or, a parent who is helplessly watching your child or adolescent struggle educationally or in social relationships. If any of these statements resonate with you, I can help you navigate your journey to contentment, confidence, and bliss.

"Healing comes through gaining a stronger internal connection. Once we have healed ourselves we can then move to heal our relationships. I use integrative therapy to help un-load "packages" we have held onto from the past. Together, we will begin to unpack the luggage of old hurt, abandonment, anger and frustrations. Any unwanted and unneeded items we've kept, we will now deal with and release. We will release negative energy to help achieve the goal of being the person you really want to be".

Sex Therapy

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
