We'll start by assessing all areas of your relationship and individual well-being.
Has sex started to feel like a chore or a stressor rather than something that connects you? Maybe you've tried talking about it and have even gone to individual or couples counseling, but it hasn't really moved the needle. That's where I come in! I will listen to you, but I will also challenge you to make real changes and get out of your comfort zone. My gift is putting people at ease talking about a sensitive subject. I'll guide you on how to approach your sex and intimacy so that you get unstuck and back to feeling close and passionate. I specialize in helping committed couples get their sexy spark back through my Pathway to Pass.

Within a relationship, I can support partners in improving communication and emotional connection while also tackling ongoing issues that are threatening your relationship.
Sometimes we are so overwhelmed by our circumstances that we can’t see a way out. In an attempt to feel better, we fall into unhealthy patterns and habits that ultimately keep us stuck or make things worse. It can permeate our personal, professional and interpersonal lives but there is still hope. If you desire freedom for yourself and peace in your relationships, you've found a great starting place.

Many of my clients have hidden depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship stressors. I have over thirty five years of experience in helping individuals reach healthy solutions to their complex problems. I provide a safe place to explore the many facets of my clients' complex identities.

Simply being born is traumatic. Now just think about all that came after that, all that’s happening in your life now, and what you want for your future. It’s why you’ve come here, why you’re reading this. Therapy is more than just something you “do” or you’re “in”; it’s a living, breathing thing. The relationship, it’s been well-established, is the most important component of a successful experience in therapy. I hope our relationship will serve as the North Star on your journey.

You have been trying to find some way to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. You have always experienced life with great depth and thoughtfulness, however, something hasn’t quite clicked yet. You perceive that others seem to have their lives together, although, in all of your rich internal experience, you haven’t been able to, just yet, put all of the pieces together. You may feel alone, experience anxiety, depression, or engage in compulsive behaviors you just can’t manage to quit. Yet, something in you knows that there is a greater world out there, maybe even right around the corner, if you could just get a glimpse of it.

You will ultimately feel more alive, genuine, and hopeful about yourself and your future.

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.
