Do you ever wonder about or question your relationship to sex? Is there just never enough sex? Do you struggle with emotional intimacy and connecting with others? Do you notice that you repeatedly lie to others, even those closest to you, about your sexual behaviors? As a trained Certified Sexual Addiction therapist (CSAT) I can help you to be curious about, answer, make sense of, and navigate these and many other complex questions. Through a detailed, comprehensive assessment and evaluation process I can help you determine if you have a Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder that would benefit from specific intervention and treatment.

I welcome and affirm the diverse identities and experiences that you may bring into therapy, including those related to gender, sexuality, varying relationship configurations, etc.
I am dedicated to helping couples and individuals strengthen their relationships, build security, and navigate the challenges that can arise in intimate partnerships. We are wired to connect with others, yet emotional and physical intimacy can be so tough at times. Often couples are impacted by differences in desire, emotional expressiveness, upbringing, communication, broken trust, or past traumas. It makes sense why relationships can be so hard to do on our own, but we are all capable of loving, safe, and healthy intimacy. I would love to help you break out of the frustrating relationship cycle you may feel stuck in.

Research says the therapeutic relationship is the best indicator of success in therapy, so let's make sure we click.
Life’s transitions and milestones can be exhilarating but also overwhelming. You may feel tension in your body and uncertainty in your mind, making it hard to find stability. In these moments, seeking relief from pain and suffering is natural. While the path to feeling grounded can seem hard and unclear, therapy offers the support you need to navigate these changes, regain your balance and feel connected to yourself again. I specialize in working with adults/young adults who are struggling with stressors in life related to adjustments, education, parenting, dating and relationships, divorce, family problems, grief and trauma.

If you're interested in deepening the relationship with yourself and others, increasing understanding of your emotions and triggers, and improving your ability to cope with difficult situations/stressors, I just might be a good fit! I welcome you to reach out and would be happy to schedule a free consultation call to see how we might be a good fit.
Do you often feel disconnected from your emotions? Do you have difficulty communicating needs in relationships, friendships, or in the work setting? Do people often tell you that you're self-aware, but regardless of how hard you try, you're flooded with self-criticism and nothing seems to change? If any of these questions resonate, it might be a good time to consider therapy! I believe that individuals are complex with their own unique experiences and needs. In the initial sessions with me, I take the time to get to know you and what is bringing you to therapy to best tailor the therapy to meet your needs.

Are you finding yourself in unproductive patterns within your life or within your relationship? Are struggling to maintain your boundaries? I find that unhealed wounds and negative thought processes can keep people stuck. This may prevent you from being able to engage in ways you would prefer.

Life is a barrage of experiences that informs our relationship with the people and the world around us. Our understanding of ongoing difficulties is largely contextualized by historical experiences as well as rigid thinking patterns, which can hinder one's interpretation. If this process goes unexamined, it can often impede the ability to be self-aware, open to emotional growth, feel connected to others as well as the general ability to be accepting of difficulties in life. Through our work together, we can develop effective methods examine thoughts, behaviors and emotional reactions to events, in order to live fulfilling lives.
