For more than 31 years, I've helped couples and adults explore and understand the emotional histories that shape how they love, connect and communicate. I specialize in working with couples who have lost their way - feeling stuck in painful cycles of misunderstanding or loss of intimacy- and with individuals seeking greater insight into long-standing views of themselves, their emotions and patterns of interaction. My approach is reflective and relational, offering a warm, collaborative space that invites the kind of self-awareness that transforms how people experience themselves and the way they relate to others.
I am an AASECT certified Sex Therapist, a credential that ensures the public I am uniquely qualified to treat a broad variety of sexual & relational issues. AASECT certification protects patients by distinguishing those therapists who have completed rigorous educational standards and who demonstrate clinical competence in the practice of psychotherapy.
Licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in KY and MI; AAMFT Clinical Member; AASECT - Certified Sex Therapist; Florida Post-Graduate Sex Therapy Training Institute; Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute - Advanced Psychotherapy Program graduate; Gottman 7 Principles Leader.
