You are ambitious and hardworking. You may be the go-getter and get things done. Despite having what looks like you have everything together on the outside, you feel lost internally. You struggle with your relationships. You have a hard time expressing what you want. You find yourself arguing with your partner over and over again. Nothing seems to work no matter what you and your partner tried. You find yourself feeling frustrated and disconnected. You want to rebuild your life where you do not feel lost. You are wanting to understand and find answers to what it means to feel contentment and have fulfilling relationships.
I am passionate about working with clients who want to strengthen their connections to themselves and in their relationships. I help clients advocate for themselves by the means of talking, humor, and exercises to where they can feel more satisfied with where they are at in their lives and relationships. I provide a safe place where clients can grow.
As an intimacy, relational, and sex therapist, I am here to help you find your voice in this confusing world. You are not alone and you can get through this. Let me help you get started on your path to healing. Reach out today for a free consultation by visiting my website. I am looking forward to being part of your journey to a better you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety related to their relationships or lifestyle. During our initial sessions, I will ask more in-depth questions about the issues and see how the different aspects of your world influences you. Most of my clients see a gradual positive change within the first month and improved sense of satisfaction.

I often lean on Gottman, Attachment Theory, and Developmental Model in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and the relationships that impact you. I take on a directive and structured approach to see what are the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I provide tools to help you implement them into your day-to-day thoughts and communication.
