Families are the smallest social units, yet familial relationships are critical to mental health from the individual to the global level. As someone who has worked in or studied mental health, I understand how important these relationships are because families are the backbone of society. I am eager to help couples and families work through problems and find healing, regardless of the circumstances.

I create a trusting space and build rapport so that you can have a place to process challenges, which also creates growth. Creating a safe space for my clients also means creating a space of compassion, empathy, understanding, and non-judgment. I value the transformative nature of a strong therapeutic relationship. Sometimes, there are disruptions in life that affect not only the present but the future as well. These disruptions can impact how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we perceive the world in a negative way. I draw from the modalities of CBT, DBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and SandTray Therapy.

I am sex and kink positive as well as LGBTQIA+ friendly and gender affirming.
How many times this week have you said to yourself, "What in the actual fuck?" Whether it be repeating patterns you thought you'd broken or are wanting to break, trying to balance the weight of the unstable economy and this political climate, being uneasy with how others treat you, wanting to be perfect while still finding grace, or just the general state of "all this" - I hear you. My aim is to look past the surface and really see YOU. As a team we can walk the path to being content in your life and being comfortable with being your authentic self.

My practice is truly holistic and transpersonal - I look at all layers of being - and hone in with laser like precision on what might be holding my clients back from the self-expression, relationships, sex, or even profits they dream of.
Feel like life could be so much more peaceful and enjoyable than it is if you could just get past worrying what others will think of you? When you combine neuroscience with philosophy and personal kink, you unlock greatness and I know just how to do it. You see, people have it backwards; radical autonomy isn’t the death of connection, it’s the conception. It’s what allows us to truly be close to others by being fully ourselves, without reservation. In order to do that though, most of us have to clear away the beliefs we grew up with that no longer resonate and be brave enough to overcome any guilt or fear of being labeled selfish.

I offer individual, couples and group therapy for sex addiction, betrayal trauma and anger management.
Sex addiction can have a truly negative impact on your family, your career, your relationships, and your health. Discovering that your partner has an addiction or is heavily involved in porn can be devastating to your relationship. You may feel alone and ashamed about your partner's behavior and have the urge to try to control how he acts. Although sexuality composes a large part of our lives, talking about it isn't always easy. When problems arise, it is even more difficult to discuss. Anger is a normal, healthy human emotion. However, left uncontrolled, it has the power to damage your body and your relationships.

Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.
Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.
What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
