Is your relationship struggling to recover after infidelity? Does your partner's sexual addiction have you considering divorce? Is sex a problem in your relationship?

Let us guide you through the recovery process towards a more meaningful relationship.

It is common to feel loneliness and heartbreak when experiencing relationship difficulties (sexual concerns, poor communication, conflict without repair, lack of intimacy, codependence, wanting different things, working through a betrayal such as infidelity). I work with individuals, couples, and intimate partnerships who are experiencing relationship and sexual difficulties or mental health concerns, supporting each partner’s growth in self- and other-intimacy by helping each of you identify and skillfully communicate what you think, feel, and prefer and listen with curiosity and compassion as your partner does the same.

Do your sexual behaviors feel out of control? Are you concerned that you might be addicted to sex or porn? Has infidelity harmed your relationship? Perhaps you are struggling with sexual concerns like ED? If it's hard for you to stop problematic sexual behaviors on your own, it's time to see a specialist. I understand the impact compulsive sexual behavior can have on one's life and the toll of betrayal trauma on your relationship. I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate their path to recovery. I am passionate about helping individuals achieve healthy intimacy, heal from trauma, and live a fulfilling life.

I work primarily with adults, teens and children who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relational and parenting concerns, and various types of transition or crisis such as infidelity and divorce. I provide a warm, supportive, non-judgemental environment with a focus on helping clients utilize strengths, and build skills to overcome obstacles. I recognize that each client has innate strengths and gifts that are the building blocks for creating a cohesive and happy life. I integrate relational and solution-focused modalities and incorporate Cognitive Behavior and Attachment-based therapies to help clients reach their goals.

Relationships are so beautifully complex. The relationship that was created has the power to be your source of joy or your most painful place in life. Unfortunately, many couples decide to stay in their discomfort as opposed to seeking out help and potentially transforming their lives together. If your relationship hit a roadblock, if you feel hopeless for the future, or if you are seeking greater fulfillment in your relationship, I would love to help you.

In-Network with Aetna and Premera -- Accepting New Clients! Evening appointments available. I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples. In my counseling work, my starting point is a strength-based, client-focused approach to understand you as an individual, as well as the strengths you have to positively change your situation. (I know we don't always feel these strengths. I think we typically are more hurt than we show, and we are also not as broken as we feel.) My focus has been to sit and listen with an open mind so I can best learn about you and your life.

I enjoy working with adolescents, teens and adults and couples struggling with depression, bipolar, anxiety, disordered eating, relationship issues, and adjustment to life transitions. I’ve worked in the middle and high-school settings, helping adolescents and teens address issues of low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, lack of academic motivation, bullying, peer pressure, anger management, and family problems. Having had personal experience with infertility, I have a passion for working with those struggling in this area, helping them with the feelings of frustration, stress, loss and relationship challenges.

As your therapist, I provide a warm and supportive space where you can talk freely without being judged.

Together, we'll work on dealing with the things that are bothering you in your everyday life, be it challenges with relationships, work, or family. Whether our work is one-on-one, with you two as a couple, my clients gain valuable insights and practical tools to get unstuck and move forward.

You've been dealing with this thing forever–depression, anxiety, or maybe just that relationship issue that keeps popping up. That thing that makes you question your relationship or inevitably leads to its dissolution. You don't need somebody to tell you "what" it is, you've lived with it for this long and you're fairly clear on that point. But "why"? Why is it there? What is motivating it? Why does "this" keep happening? What are the unseen forces that you feel, but can't seem to name? Until we know why, we can never get down to the root of the problem–we will only be dealing with the symptoms and not the cause.

People can feel trapped in anxiety, depression, grief, traumatic experiences and difficult relationships OR they can explore those problems psychotherapeutically to derive insight into their feelings and behaviors. As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst I can help you manage your emotional pain,understand your feelings and the repetitive nature of your problems and find new ways of dealing with your problems, in order to minimize suffering and achieve your goals.

You are in a committed relationship but feeling so lonely and frustrated. You try to communicate your needs to your partner, but each time the two of you end up in a disagreement, leaving you feeling worse than before. You feel you are out of options for how to have these discussions differently. You are unsure how the two of you can reconnect and get your needs met. You yearn for your partner to respond to your needs in a way that feels loving and accepting instead of reactive. You would love to rekindle the love you once felt in your relationship and move from being roommates back to loving partners with a satisfying sex life.

Life problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts are psychological symptoms that cover the untold and unresolved stories of our lives. Clinical psychology is a way of dealing with these problems by talking about them. I offer Counseling Strategies that help you to adjust and adapt to difficult situations and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Strategies that help you to understand yourself and your role in relation to life's problems. Professional counseling and psychotherapy offer perspective, insight and new ways of seeing yourself from which to make better choices and avoid problematic repetitive behavior patterns.
