Strength-Based Therapists in Coconut Grove, FL

I am interested in helping people and couples explore and confront thoughts and behaviors that are self-defeating and limiting their potential in life. I believe that our thoughts and behaviors not only influence how we act, but also how we feel, and even our physical health. I offer mind-body centered psychotherapy. When we work together you will be welcomed in a warm, respectful, relaxed, environment. One that is open, trusting, non-judgmental, and centered on your needs and desires. This will allow you to uncover the source of emotional pain, and arrive at pathways for greater balance, joy, and meaning in life.

Your relationship is no longer the safe and loving experience you signed up for. What was once a sacred space, a peaceful home, has now turned into a battleground over the smallest things, like a lost remote control. Communication has all but broken down. You and your partner used to be each other's biggest fans, but it’s more like you are roommates now, going along with the motions. Your emotional connection has dwindled, along with a fulfilling sex life. You long to go back to when you found comfort in this person, but you don’t know how. You’re still in love and determined to make things work.

I help patients live freer, more fulfilling lives and believe in the work I do to get patients there.

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! Through my treatment programs, you will live the sex life you desire!

I help individuals who are feeling stuck or disconnected explore what's getting in the way, and create a life that they find meaningful and fulfilling.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free atmosphere so you can connect with your purpose, your most authentic self, and in turn, with others in your life.
