I specialize in relationships and sex therapy, helping individuals and couples develop esteem, comfort and coping strategies to navigate your world in order to create healing whether from trauma, depression/anxiety or relationship challenges.
It can often be a challenge to find a counselor to connect with, to feel comfortable sharing your experiences with and that seem to "get you". We also often want someone that cannot only understand and empathize but also to challenge behaviors/beliefs in a way that help create introspective thought, growth and change. I endeavor to join you on your journey, exploring what you seek, while also embracing the idea that sometimes you just need the ability to share safely and authentically in a supportive environment.

After more than 30 years I can say I am truly a broadly trained practitioner but I tend to enjoy using a humanistically and mindfulness based methodology with a strong relationship building style and developmental attachment style practice methods.
I believe in empowering people to reach their full potential by providing services that are strengths-based, practical, holistic, and focused on promoting long lasting change. I work using a style of fostering trust and authenticity,starting where people want and ending when people feel their life and issues have changed and their happiness enhanced. I believe the relationship in counseling is the core issue in treatment. This is particularly important in working with children and adolescents where no work could be done without building a warm, honest, and caring connection. I believe healing comes through the mind, body, spirit connection.

I use a person-centered approach to meet each individual where they're at from the initial assessment and throughout treatment. I enjoy highlighting strengths and encouraging individuals to use them in session as well as within everyday life.
My approach pulls from several theories including client centered, strength based and a holistic perspective, focusing on the relationship between mind, body and spirit.
Therapy involves empathy, a nonjudgmental attitude and the creation of a safe space where you learn to break free of old ideas and patterns that are restricting your happiness. The relationship between the therapist and the client is the foundation for therapeutic change. I value the impact of one’s culture and life circumstances all the while recognizing the importance of one’s relationships and sense of belonging. I know the importance of needing to be acknowledged during life’s most difficult times. I strive to provide an atmosphere of warmth to foster unconditional regard and a deeper understanding of life’s problems.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
