My 30 years as a Sex Therapist in private practice has enabled me to work with a large variety of relationships, sexual problems & intimacy issues. I can offer a safe place to discuss, explore, and create solutions for whatever difficulty you're experiencing. Some Sex Therapy is short term (1-6 months) and often involves sexual education & permission to experience pleasure. Most Sex Therapy requires longer term therapy (1-2 years) because of relational dynamics, unhealthy beliefs about sexuality, anxiety, attachment issues from childhood, unresolved grief, trauma recovery, learning to identify & convey your sexual needs/wants.

Accepting New Clients. I work with individuals and couples experiencing relationship issues and specialize in the perinatal years - focusing on all the stressors of trying to conceive, experiencing pregnancy, preparing for birth, recovering from birth, and postpartum. Becoming parents is the greatest role adjustment in our adult lives and one of the greatest stressors to our relationships. It makes sense that it's hard, but you didn't think it would be this hard! We need our partners more than ever, so relational conflict can feel especially painful during this time.

I work with clients to clarify their goals and then figure out what we can do to support those goals and identify anything that has been interfering with achieving those goals. In other words, I start with focusing on the future, not the past. I prioritize understanding over suggestions because I believe that once people understand what they want they will make healthy choices.

What is it that we all have in common? Perhaps it is the desire to be happy, to find meaning in life or to have connections with others. Maybe we are searching for a feeling of calmness; or to be less overwhelmed. We all have our own personal struggles. I believe that my calming presence and acceptance of others helps clients feel comfortable and at ease. Finding the right therapist is key to your personal growth and emotional wellbeing.

I believe it is in the context of relationship that we begin to build an understanding of ourselves and the world. Whether these relationships have been helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between, they shape the way we think, feel and behave. Therefore, as counseling begins we will take time to be curious about how your relational experiences have impacted you. We will explore your past and current stories. We will spend time identifying what is currently troubling you, possible origins of unhelpful coping strategies, and then together identify steps you can take to begin to find healing or freedom.

My clients often begin therapy due to anxious and/or depressive symptoms emerging from more complex concerns that challenge their pursuits of meaningful living. They may have difficulties managing stress related to their relationships, work or study, and/or identity. Some struggle with the loss of someone or something important to them. Others may feel rudderless, uncertain about how to steer their life in a more fulfilling direction. In all cases I aim to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and authentic relationship that encourages growth through the exploration of each client's sense of who they are and who they want to become.

Deciding to come to counseling is a first step toward improving lives. I can help with anxiety, depression, coping skills, communication, and transitions. Talking to someone who can see things from an outside perspective can help you determine how to improve what is not working in your life, set goals, and learn new skills which will move you toward that goal.

**Not currently taking new clients** The world is throwing so many things at you and it feels impossible to decide what to tackle first. Just the thought of trying to figure it out leaves you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain of your next move. You’re exhausted by your spouse constantly coming and going and the uncertainty of military life. You want to be able to relieve this feeling of disconnection and reengage in relationships, yet you wonder if you have the energy to even do it. More than anything, you want to be able to share these thoughts and feelings that you have and be reassured you are not alone in this.

It helps if you work with some one who has the professional and personal experience to address the issues associated with alcohol or other drug, gambling or codependency struggles. If you think you may have a problem, need a substance use disorder or codependency assessment, have completed treatment and need recovery support I can help. Feelings of isolation, anxiety, sadness, anger, excessive worry or fear related to your own, a family member or friends compulsion with alcohol, drugs or gambling, are common and treatable.

Serving as a minister and earning a PhD in Counseling Psychology equipped me to care for people in crises. Working with vulnerable children and their families or caregivers, also proved to be a valuable foundation for clinical care. In a medical academic setting, training residents in the use of spirituality and psychology as they cared for their patients, deepened my own understanding of just how complex clinical issues can become. This also increased my understanding of the level of stress healthcare providers and victims themselves experience during illness. This is especially relevant in the present COVID-19 environment.
