Therapy can help. Are you worried about your relationship? Do you have sexual desire issues? Infidelity, betrayal, unhappiness? Relationships are hard! Relationship and sex therapy or individual counseling can help you heal and determine what comes next. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, a Certified Sex Therapist and a Certified Sex and Couples Therapist with over 35 years of experience. Therapy can help repair your relationship, heal from betrayal or create more passion. Online sessions are available and in-person Intensives for couples are available. Open, poly, closed, LGBTQ welcome.
To make real changes in your relationship you have to shift your issues. You might be able to do it in one session or you may need an Intensive for two days, created just for your relationship. I specialize in sex therapy, relationship therapy, infidelity recovery and open relationships. Email me to find out more.
I am the author of six books including "Open Monogamy," "The New Monogamy," "Integrative Sex & Couples Therapy," and "When You're the One Who Cheats," as well as "Getting the Sex You Want" and "What's Eating You?" I am also a TEDx speaker as well as the host of the podcast The Trouble with Sex.

Sessions for individuals and couples start with a zoom session, for one hour. If it feels like a good fit, we can continue or you may want an Intensive in person, a full day or two days if you are in crisis. Most clients see improvement in once-per-week sessions and gradually move to twice a month and then can have a check-in session occasionally when things are going well and things improve.
