About
Understanding. Reaching. Bonding. Healing.
My goal: I help married or permanently partnered couples resolve communication, build trust, and overcome physical and emotional intimacy challenges.
Want to heal that rift in your relationship? Trust the process and let me show you how!
My method: When we work together, I’ll choose the most appropriate, customized theoretical base to provide you the compassionate, non-judgmental, specialized experience of being genuinely heard in a connective studio environment.
It’s all about you. Regardless of why you come to therapy, know that I’ll hear you, encourage you, and support you in getting your relationships where you want them to be.
My clients: I enjoy providing an array of therapies for couples, individuals, and families. And I’m looking forward to working with you!
My specialties: I specialize in couple, family, individual, marital, premarital, and sexual therapy as it relates to a host of issues.
Do you crave deeper intimate connections, greater trust, clearer communication, and higher love?
Are you and your partner struggling to deal with infidelities, sex/porn additions, or paraphilias?
Let’s work through the good and the bad together.
Perhaps you want to experience healthy sexual expression, to explore your sexual/gender identity or open relationships.
I get it – sometimes, it’s incredibly difficult to talk about these things. But once we’ve established trust, you’ll feel safe to explore who you are.
Or maybe you’re seeking help with parenting and sexuality education or navigating a divorce?
I encourage you to trust the process. We’ll work through it together.
My focus: In addition, I want to help you and your partner increase your intimacy and cultivate a deeper connection through achieving an overall higher desire for each other.
I provide sexuality counseling to help you better understand and accept yourself – including your unique characteristics as a sexual being – and meet your sexual goals – either partnered or single.
As a specialist, I strive to improve society’s understanding and acceptance of challenges related to human sexuality, and I’m ready to join you in exploring all topics related to sexual health.
