Perhaps relationship difficulties and losses, infidelity, divorce, abuse, sexual trauma, and/or other's needs and expectations have left your heart and soul feeling broken and burdened? You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mood issues as a result. Do you long for healing and empowerment? Do you long to remember who you really are, what you really want, and how to get your life back on track? Are you ready to heal your relationship with yourself, others, and other important aspects of your life? I believe the solution to your challenges lies within you, within your true identity and nature, coming from the brilliance and wisdom of your authentic self and spiritual presence. You just need support accessing your innate ability to heal and develop.

Anxiety, depression, or even intense stress can often get in the way of living the life we are meant to live. I begin by assisting you in gaining a sense of empowerment and clear plan to move toward or return to your true self. I provide space for you to break down self-destructive thought and behavioral patterns often caused by a history of trauma, abuse, or loss. You soon begin living your potential with improved body, mind, and soul connection. In couples therapy, I assist in healing the partnership by regaining connection and establishing shared meaning for more consistent positive interactions and fulfilling relationship.

I believe we all can live a life full of joy, meaning, and intimacy. I also know that sometimes life presents us with challenges that get in the way and leave us feeling diconnected and out of balance. I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, couples and families work through their challenges in a relaxed and safe therapeutic environment, where you feel accepted and heard.

We all have a sexual story. Some aspects of our story may continue to cause pain, cause embarrassment, induce shame or guilt, keep us from fulfilling our sexual potential, block us from feeling whole or cause ongoing problems in our most intimate relationships. As a trained sex therapist, I have experience to help you address challenging aspects of sexuality integrating all aspects of sexuality including the physical, the emotional, the mental and spiritual aspects.

Therapy can be a dynamic experience creating hope and energy. Facing challenges and grieving losses we inevitably face is a powerful step in moving toward a more satisfying present. I view therapy as a collaboration with you to create your transformation and growth. Our past experiences shape our view of ourselves and in turn our potential in the future. I hope to assist you to "re-author" the stories you have about yourself not serving a positive purpose and replace them with new stories, skills and a vision that do.
