My ideal client is someone who has an intention to change. During my 31 years as a practicing therapist I have encountered a wide range of issues. Having worked with a large number of clients to the point of solution, I have concluded that in the end, the core of helping people is to listen. Effective listening gives me a deep understanding of their current situation. I can then gently point them toward getting more of what they want. My experience and compassion have often proven to be crucial elements for our success. This is the work of my life.

My approach involves meeting each individual person where they are when they start therapy and forming a warn collaborative relationship. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which people can explore the concerns that brought them into psychotherapy. Relationships are complex and people often want to understand more about how they interact with others and evolve in a way that promotes having better relationships.

I can help you come back to your core; to your true and divine self. The truth and the future are that connection with and expression of the imagination, consciousness, and authentic energy with which one is born are key to living in a positive and effective way, as well as with a state of wholeness, health, wealth, joy, and enlightenment.

My goal as a therapist is to assist you in finding practical solutions to your life problems, and to help you take positive steps to experience a more fulfilling life. You will come away from our time together with useful tools which will empower you to enjoy your life and your relationships to the fullest degree.

You can succeed in life especially in love, marriage, and family! Even though you may be experiencing great pain because of personal trauma and/or relationship conflicts, you can turn things around. However, you may need assistance from a trained, compassionate professional to help you, either as an individual or with your loved ones, to restore trust, friendship, joy, and deep love.

I help people struggling in their intimate relationships - to move from feeling isolated and alone, to finding the deep satisfaction of being known by the ones they love. If you feel trapped in a life that lacks connection to others, I can help you create relationships you want for yourself.

I use several therapeutic approaches including CBT, DBT, SFT Narrative therapy to support individual clients, and families. I work with youth 10 or older, couples, parents, and adults seeking professional counseling.

As a therapist, my mission is to help you improve your over-all well being, enhance your ability to engage in interpersonal relationships, empower you with useful tools, and ultimately explore and address the obstacles that may be holding you back from the life you want to live. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision and a good fit is necessary to make effective progress. I try to be straightforward, without being harsh, and encouraging without applying any pressure. My clients find me to be warm, caring, down-to-earth, and, at times, humorous.

Relationships are hard work. Navigating what you want from life while considering what your partner/partners may wish to do can be daunting. Having questions about your relationship? How about your sex life? Has the excitement of your relationship and sex life turned into a mundane list of chores to cross off? Wait ... what about passion!? Or Intimacy!? Or heaven forbid you might ask, "What if I want to try that new thing ...?" You are far from being alone with these thoughts. Most people ask these questions when they are in a relationship with others. That's why I am here: to help answer these questions in a supportive space.

Counseling for individuals and couples to overcome outstanding stress in daily life such as ongoing family conflict, resentment, bitterness, loneliness... Specialties include: overcoming depression cycles, infidelity, couples counseling (bringing romance and intimacy back), and critical insight as you adjust to a new normal that may be frightening. How many times have you said: "I know better, but I keep repeating the same mistakes over and over?" I invite you to slow down and become curious about your inner world so that we can identify the patterns that keep you frustrated.

A large part of why I have chosen to be a counselor is to simply help those in need. Many people come to therapy wanting relief from life’s challenges, answers to hard questions, or simply to be seen by and connected to another. My hope is that by choosing to engage in therapy, you will be able to experience all the goodness that comes from being respected, valued, and cared for in a truly meaningful way.

This may not be the time or place you thought or wanted to be in your life right now, and that can be a sad, frustrating and heartbreaking reality. In that reality, you need someone who can listen, understand and help you sift through the problems of a sexual/porn compulsion/addiction and/or the betrayal trauma from the reveal of your partner’s hidden sexual life, and I offer that service. I've worked for the past 8 years with men in their recovery from active sex/porn addiction, and for the past 5 years I've been working with partners/spouses who've been traumatized by such hidden behavior, and its relational damage.

I specialize in couples/relationships, communication issues, sex therapy, and grief and loss, as well as anxiety and sex therapy for individuals. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is an important part of the process, and I look forward to meeting with you.

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.
