I am a sex therapist and relationship counselor specializing in working with individuals and relationships (mono, poly, mono-poly, etc.). I can help with issues such as anxiety, unhappy and conflicted relationships, desire discrepancy, sexual partner incompatibility, infidelity, midlife sexual changes, and exploring open relationships. I particularly enjoy helping women work through relationship confusion, midlife changes, sexual problems, and long-term couple issues. In addition, I work extensively with neurodivergent clients as individuals and within relationships.

As a clinical psychologist with over 30+ years of experience, I believe the purpose of therapy is to work together to face issues until they are resolved. It is important to feel some relief. As a good listener I have strong empathetic skills. I provide a warm, accepting and non-judgmental setting where a positive alliance can be formed. Therapy is a place to feel understood, to unload, share, but is also result oriented. Therefore, my approach is interactive. I work with children,adolescents, adults, families and couples.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I offer confidential psychotherapy for couples, families, and individuals of all ages. Together we work through the underlying reasons for your conflicts, problems, and ineffective patterns that prevent you from reaching your potential.

I work with clients to help them acknowledge their own strengths and take steps to manage emotions so they can be hopeful and take control of their lives.

Guiding others has always been a passion of mine from an early age. As I got older, the passion became stronger and pushed me into many different volunteer positions. My desire to help facilitate change crossed paths with my love for volleyball and led me to Costa Rica on mission trips. It was there, in Costa Rica, I knew I was being called to work with people on a more intimate level as my life’s work. Now, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Masters Degree at New York University. I have worked closely with children, adolescents and adults as dealing with everyday stressors and anxieties to mental health diagnoses.

We often hear that healing and growth is not linear. Working on ourselves and our relationships is an ongoing process with its ups and downs. Just when we think we're out of the woods, life reminds us of its unpredictability. If life is consistently inconsistent, how can we best adjust, work towards acceptance, and reduce our suffering? Our willingness to work towards self improvement can shift like the wind and when our motivation and energy dwindles, so does our trust in ourselves and those around us. As fear, anxiety, sadness, and even hopelessness settles in, tackling simple tasks seems unattainable.

I am profoundly dedicated to empowering adolescents, young adults, and families by enhancing their coping strategies, addressing anxiety and depression, navigating executive functioning challenges, managing peer relationships, and fostering better family communication.

Every person is different, and I tailor my approach to each patient to find what works for them.

I work on providing every individual patient (or business) with a useful, meaningful, and results-oriented learning experience.
