SEX IS BETWEEN THE EARS, NOT JUST THE LEGS. There are many societal pressures around sex. We hear stories from our friends about their amazing sexual experiences, and wonder “What’s wrong with me?" or "Why am I not able to have an orgasm?”. You may find yourself wondering why everyone else is experiencing satisfying relationships and exciting sexual experiences. Sexual challenges oftentimes create isolation, conflicts in one's romantic relationship, and a lack of sexual desire. I love my work as a Sexologist!

Distressing moods, behaviors and relationships are often associated with painful feelings and self criticism. Inner conflicts and feeling undeserving can be outside awareness and yet have a devastating effect on your quality of life and relationships. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the same things happen again and again causing intense frustration and even despair. Building a vitalized life experience is the antidote. This is done by working through the perplexing barriers to feeling the inner freedom to choose how you want to love, work and play.

I do really well-reaching clients who have anxiety and depression. I also do well with college-aged clients and young mothers, 20/30-year-old women, and I can empathize with mothers/parents very well, as I am married with a 3-year-old son. My ideal client is motivated to participate in the therapeutic process and has some insight into their problem & what they feel they need to do to solve it. They don't expect me to have all the answers and understand that we will partner together to achieve their goals- but that they are the ones who have to be motivated to create change.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
