Are you feeling emotionally or physically disconnected from your partner? Is communication not clear? Passion & intimacy gone within your relationship? Are you having some difficulty with your sexual behaviors, urges or desires? Unsure of your sexuality? Are you a therapist or professional helper? Feeling disconnected in a relationship can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable and alone. Having sexual issues can be embarrassing and alienating. Not being accepted due to your sexuality can be hurtful. My affirming and empathetic approach can help you gain a sense of normalcy, dig deeper and begin to make the changes you desire.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session you can expect us to discuss your needs, how they've impacted you and what do you desire to get out of going to therapy. We will discuss my approaches to helping you and how we can work together to reach your goal.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

When conducting couples or relationship related therapies I use a pleathora of skill and tools to hep couples. I am trained in The Gottman Method, Prepare Enrich, Solution-Focused Couples Therapy, and more. I am a Certified Sex Therapist with extensive experience in assisting clients over the full gamete of couples concerns such as the following: communication, conflict resolution, lack of intimacy, desire discrepancies, infidelity and much more. When it comes to general mental health, trauma, therapy for therapists and the LGBTQ+ community I believe in navigating these concerns with brain-based therapies (EMDR & Brainspotting) as well as other modalities when appropriate to facilitate healing. This allows clients to see significant change in their lives and moving forward differently.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths cover various areas, but I would say that my skills are best seen when working with complex couples, sexually related concerns and/or clients that have a variety of needs that are more than general mental health concerns. I am an empathetic, compassionate and dedicated therapist. My work with the clients I serve is of the upmost importance and your needs are my priority.
