Would you like to find a way to recognize the positive things in your life and enjoy them without self doubt and anxiety? Are you in recovery from abuse or another traumatic event?

I believe in the importance of treating the whole person: body, mind, spirit. My approach is empowering you to make your own decisions, to help you set your own goals and to walk with you on your journey to health.

Are you feeling stuck, as if life has more to offer but you aren't sure how to get there? When Challenges and Stressors come into our lives it can become more than we can handle. During these times we may feel sad, shame, anxious, defeated, or powerless. I believe every crisis is an opportunity for growth. It is through these tough times and perseverance that lasting change can occur in our lives. Therapy can assist you through difficult times, and help you overcome every day obstacles. Through a collaborative person centered approach it is my hope you will learn to access and engage your inner strengths to combat life challenges.

As a sex therapist, I specialize in treating sexual issues. These often include relationship challenges and sexual problems such as lack of desire/low libido, difficulty with arousal, premature ejaculation and trouble reaching orgasm. Anxiety about sexual performance, lost intimacy, sexual abuse, infidelity, menopause, illness and aging can also interfere with sexual satisfaction. Sex therapy addresses problematic or illegal sexual behaviors, sexual compulsivity, paraphilias and fetishes. Clients benefit from exploring issues surrounding sexual orientation, gender identity, asexuality, polyamory and kink. I am passionate about helping clients overcome the issues that affect their sexuality so that they more fully enjoy life.

Sometimes life gets heavy and challenging, and we can become weary and feel stuck. Whether you have been dealing with issues for years, or days, or would like to focus on enhancing your life, I want to walk alongside you in this journey, meet you where you are at, and help equip you with what you need to get to where you would like to go. I welcome clients of all ages, in various walks of life, whether you are struggling with issues related to depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, trauma related to sexual assault, family conflict, etc. I am trained in various areas and theories and use an eclectic approach to best meet client needs.

Are you ready to enjoy your life? My specialties include working with those ready to heal from difficult life circumstances and relationships, including narcissistic abuse, treating anxiety and depression, managing chronic illness, and fostering growth through life transitions. I use skills based on CBT, DBT, trauma focused therapy, and EMDR to work with emotions, thoughts, and patterns of beliefs and behavior that can hold you back. Learn your strengths, build decision-making and relational skills, identify your values, and meet your goals. I enjoy counseling from a Christian perspective when requested by clients.
