I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Nationally Certified (NCC), and a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP) I have over 8 years of experience in the mental/behavioral health field.
As a psychodynamic therapist my approach to therapy looks at how trauma, past relationships, core beliefs, and attachments have shaped a client's present behaviors and thought processes. The goal in my therapy is to discover what we need to heal in order to grow and prosper- and then how to begin the work. If you feel like you don't know where to begin and as if you're "stuck" in the same patterns and self-defeating behaviors, you're not alone. If you're ready to take the next step in your healing, I'd love to help guide you. I specialize in marriage & relationship issues, personality disorders, and trauma/mood disorders.

I am a sex and kink-positive, body-neutral, and a HAES-informed provider.
Are you feeling overwhelmed or unheard in your relationships? Do you struggle to speak up for yourself or hold boundaries because prioritizing your needs has never been on the table? Do you struggle with feelings of guilt even when you haven't done anything wrong? Do you battle with body image/diet culture? Are you contemplating a life that looks different than the one you are currently living, but don't know where to begin or even if you should? A great deal of the clients I see are struggling with these things and hoping to break cycles and forge a new path for themselves with the help of someone who will walk alongside them.

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.
