Our greatest ability to change comes from stepping outside of our comfort zone. My goal is to tell you the truth. This is not always what you want to hear! There is great humility in being able to look at yourself in the mirror and face the things you don’t like about yourself; behaviors you participate in that you wish you wouldn’t and cycles you wish to break. Change is hard but so worth it! I challenge you to come on this journey with me in changing what you do, how you feel and how you think about yourself and your life.

Relationships can be a source of fulfillment to draw from in our lives.

I specialize in the respectful and confidential treatment of relationship and sexual concerns. I believe in utilizing an open, honest, and sex-positive approach to help assess your unique personal goals and assist you in developing more positive and fulfilling relationships- with your self and with your partner.

My philosophy to treatment is to "test first so there are no questions later!" This means the first step is to identify all the major factors contributing to your problem, as well as any smaller problems that could be having an impact. Often, what seems to be one problem is really something else entirely. This diagnostic clarity is accomplished by administering a battery of tests personalized to your unique presentation. By identifying specific areas in need of intervention, the rate of recovery increases and much more targeted treatments can be implemented.

I've worked in the mental health field since 1980. I look at therapy as a collaborative enterprise between client and therapist, with the aim of improving quality of life.
