A Couples/Sex Therapist in Michigan, I specialize in resolving intimacy and relationship problems.
Do you want to feel more intimate with your partner? More deeply connected? More attraction, more desire, a more intense level of loving sexual intimacy? I want to help. I love helping couples get the deep emotional and sexual intimacy they want in their relationship. When sexual problems occur, it can seem to signal a problem with the relationship or with you. But that's NOT true! In fact, the kind of intense real intimacy that lasts for years is not usually automatic. In fact, a good road map makes all the difference.

Are you tired of dating the wrong person or being in a ‘roommate’ status romance or marriage? Relationships are not easy and being romantically involved with the right person takes work; self-work. Whether single or in a relationship, we can all benefit from discovering tools to better communicate our needs, build confidence, find our purpose in life, have a positive self-image and so on. As a therapist specializing in relationship issues, I focus on self-empowerment and self-awareness because settling for less than you deserve is not an option.

My specialties include: interpersonal/relationship and communication issues, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, family conflict, grief and loss, peri-natal and post-partum depression and anxiety, life transitions and adjustments.
I have experience working individually with children, adolescents, and adults as well as families. I strive to connect with all of my clients on a deep authentic level while fostering a safe and supportive environment. People develop conscious and subconscious strategies of getting through difficult periods of their lives. Frequently, these strategies result in maladaptive behaviors, thought patterns, and interpersonal struggles. Through empathetic connections, nonjudgmental acceptance, and evidence based modalities, we can unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from your goals.
