For over twenty-five years, I have maintained an expertise in the psychological treatment of individuals and couples with sexual problems and dysfunctions.
My aim is to help individuals and couples who are experiencing repetitive, entrenched patterns of problems or symptoms. These problems may appear in the realm of mood (emotions), behavior, or be physically lodged (psychosomatic). Disturbances such as these are often found to have their roots in templates formed earlier in life, but exert force upon present-day perceptions, emotions, cognitions, and interpersonal life. My role is to facilitate an in-depth understanding of the understructure of these mental and emotional constellations (usually out of awareness) which uphold and perpetuate the problems and patterns in need of modification or relief.

I know that you and your relationships are worth the time and investment. My areas of specialization include working with couples to communicate more respectfully and authentically and helping adult individuals navigate life transitions.

I believe that mental health is a vital component in creating a complete and satisfying experience of personhood. It's as important to take care of your inner life and psychological well-being as it is to take care of your physical health. I feel that every individual is unique, and therefore every therapeutic relationship is unique. For counseling to be effective, it is essential that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. The key ingredient for successful results in psychotherapy is a strong relationship between you and your therapist.

I work with individuals and couples who have experienced a loss in their life and are needing guidance and support as they navigate their journey of grief. In a society that tells us how we are "supposed" to grieve or what actually counts as a loss, it can be challenging to know how to take your first steps forward. My clients are individuals or couples who are trying to make sense of their loss, working towards acceptance of their loss, preparing for a significant loss, and anywhere in between that someone finds themselves in their journey through grief. I also treat other issues such as anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

I believe a vital part of the therapy process is the relationship built between the two of us, by which we can bridge an authentic relationship and begin exploring your experiences.
Transitions are a natural progression in life, which at times can leave us feeling alone, overwhelmed, and terrified. Much like the seasons; our hopes, dreams, and relationships change. Maneuvering through these chapters in our lives can be a daunting process. In my experience, when a person can share their struggles within therapy, they can begin to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and how this influences their relationships with others.

In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples’ therapy, group therapy, and teletherapy options.
On the outside it seems like you have it all together, but inside it feels like you are falling apart. You’re tired of lacking confidence in yourself and feeling alone in your struggles. You feel guilty about the frustration and overwhelm you feel each day. It’s like you’re the one carrying all the weight. You’ve worked hard for success, but you aren't living the authentic life you hoped for, and you’ve basically resigned yourself to the idea that you may never find the fulfillment in relationships that you’ve found in your career.
