*NOT CURRENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS* Welcome to my psychology practice. Intimate relationships are challenging for just about everyone. Keeping a passionate connection alive over time requires unique skills, persistence and determination. I work with individuals and couples who wish to deepen emotional or sexual intimacy, improve communication, strengthen their romantic bond, heal from affairs, and folks who feel addicted to pornography or other sexual outlets, as well as depression, irritability, anxiety, etc. Probably the best way to get a sense of me quickly is to read my Psychology Today blog, The Future of Intimacy.

Let's talk about sex. Are you and your partner experiencing a lack of pleasure? Are you finding it challenging to feel aroused? Do you feel you have lost the "spark"? Are you looking to increase the passion and pleasure you desire in life? Do you want to wake up and feel empowered in your sex life? Sex can be a challenging conversation. Expressing our desires and fantasies can be intimidating. Sometimes we don't know where to begin and other times we can feel that we have expressed ourselves clearly. Over time, partners find themselves having less sex. They feel "too tired", "too busy", "unable to feel aroused".

Relationships, careers, and retirement dreams cannot thrive when you are hurting. I work with adults, both individuals and couples, to treat grief, anxiety, depression and difficult life transitions (retirement, divorce, relocation, illness, end-of-life issues), as well as communication and sexual functioning. Some clients are anxious to free themselves from nagging issues of the past, while others struggle to discern the best path for their future. I support couples who want to increase intimacy, and I help couples who have already decided to separate to do so as respectfully as possible.
