Relationships are my expertise, especially issues of broken trust, poor communication, intimacy and addiction. There is no "perfect partner", but intimate partnerships should be a source of joy, safety and support. Whether you are dating or engaged, married or contemplating divorce, "straight" or LGBTQIA, monogamous or poly, kinky or vanilla, Millenial or retired, you CAN feel understood by one another with deep, joyful connection! With over 40 years of experience, my clinical toolbox is full of skills and concepts that will move you forward together. (Telehealth only. Sorry, no insurance accepted but receipts provided OON.)
I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing trauma due to infidelity, sex and porn addiction, divorce and other stressful life events. I am a certified Imago Relationship Therapist and Certified Clinician for Partners of Sex Addicts. I am the author of The Porn Solution: Relationship Repair After Pornography Betrayal, Sano Press.
I promise to treat you with respect and confidentiality, striving for compassionate understanding, not finding fault, shaming or blaming. I know firsthand the profound changes that can result from working with a skilled therapist. I would honored to play a role in your relationship success! Kindly note: I work by Telehealth and do not accept insurance.
