Couples who love each other but struggle with sex often feel disconnected, frustrated, and unsure how to get back to intimacy. Many of my clients haven’t had sex in a while and find themselves arguing instead of connecting. They miss the closeness, the pleasure, and the confidence that comes from a healthy sex life. I help couples move from conflict and confusion to clarity and connection. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Sex Therapist with 17 years of experience, I guide couples toward fulfilling, passionate intimacy they can enjoy throughout their lifetime together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my approach is how safe and direct I make the conversation around sex feel. I create a judgment-free space where couples can talk openly about their desires, fears, and frustrations—often for the first time. My methods blend evidence-based sex therapy with practical tools for communication, emotional connection, and sensual exploration. I don’t just help couples have more sex—I help them have better, more meaningful sex. My clients consistently tell me they feel more hopeful, more connected, and more confident in their ability to sustain intimacy and pleasure throughout the lifespan of their relationship.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are married couples ( and/or individuals) who love each other deeply but feel lost when it comes to sexual intimacy. They may be stuck in a cycle of avoidance, frustration, or conflict because sex has become inconsistent or nonexistent. These couples often feel embarrassed, disconnected, or unsure how to fix it—but they’re motivated to reconnect. They want to experience pleasure again, feel desired by their partner, and create a sex life that’s satisfying and sustainable. I’m best positioned to help couples who are ready to talk about the hard stuff and rebuild intimacy that lasts across the lifespan.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive training and practical experience in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational treatment method in my clinical practice. My interest in CBT stems from its strong empirical support and its structured, goal-oriented framework that empowers clients to understand and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. In my work with individuals and couples, I integrate CBT to help clients identify distorted cognitions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build insight into how their thoughts influence their emotions and actions. For example, when working with clients experiencing anxiety or depression, I use CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and thought tracking to support symptom reduction and emotional regulation. With couples, I often apply CBT strategies to help partners recognize and reframe negative interpretations of each other’s actions, improve problem-solving skills, and establish more effective communication patterns. I also incorporate CBT tools like guided journaling, role play, and homework assignments to reinforce skills between sessions and promote lasting change. Overall, CBT is a versatile and effective modality that I tailor to each client’s needs, helping them gain clarity, resilience, and the practical tools necessary to create meaningful shifts in their daily lives and relationships.
