A Little About Me...
I am passionate about helping you achieve satisfaction, differentiation and empowerment in all of your relationships, whether you work with me as an individual or a couple.
I will provide you a nonjudgmental, compassionate and supportive—and sometimes challenging—space where you may achieve genuine self-reflection, understanding and self-actualization.
I work with couples in all stages, whether it be in my Marriage/Relationship Prep Course for new couples, strengthening a couple through therapy, or helping them uncouple/divorce in a healthy way.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and integrative, pulling from different therapeutic approaches to tailor my treatment to your needs. I'd be honored to accompany you on your journey...
Individual Therapy
Heal. Restore. Thrive.
Psychotherapy can be helpful in treating most mental disorders. However, many, if not most, people who benefit from psychotherapy are not diagnosed with a clinical disorder. Do you ever feel stuck? Ever feel overwhelmed by life's stressors? Are you dissatisfied with the state of your relationships, your career? Then psychotherapy is for you! I can help you identify and work through barriers to achieving your personal, career and/or relationship goals. Let me help you to take the first step toward transforming your life.
Couples Therapy
Heal Old Wounds. Restore Connections.
Create Satisfying Relationships.
Most relationships go through hard times; it is an inevitable part of growth. Most couples who come to therapy are stuck transitioning between predictable developmental stages because they never learned the tools and skills necessary for making a long-term relationship successful. What if working through these challenges in therapy can actually bring you closer together? Whether you're looking for a tune-up to enhance a stable, loving relationship or are finding yourself in dire straits, or anything in between, I can help you understand where and why you are stuck and provide the requisite skills to transform your relationship. If you're unsure if your relationship is viable, we can work together to figure that out. Lastly, if you're ready to move on and would like to end your relationship in a healthy way, I can help you navigate that.
Sex Therapy
Ignite Desire. Restore Connections.
Explore Possibilities.
Sex therapy is a specialized type of psychotherapy focused on sexual pleasure. Through sex therapy, you can address concerns about sexual function, sexual desires and sexual connection. If you're feeling sexually disconnected from your partner(s), even yourself, I can help you navigate that in individual or couples sex therapy. Sex therapy can allow you to meet your emotional and physical needs by:
Addressing desire discrepancies
Overcoming challenges around arousal and orgasm
Exploring new areas and desires
Rekindling sex after kids
Exploring non-monogamy, polyamory, or other relationship formats
Providing skills that will boost sexual confidence and sexual pleasure
Marriage/Relationship Prep
Stack the Odds in Your Favor.
The prime time to learn what it takes to build a lasting relationship is early in your commitment. The sooner you learn what it takes to redirect negative patterns, the less likely they will become entrenched and destructive.
We start out in love and with the best of intentions, but few of us get good relationship education. Our society focuses more on getting to commitment than on how to keep that commitment alive day after day. Relationships do require work to sustain them, but it doesn't have to be grueling. By preparing yourselves early in the process, you can identify potential issues and learn ways to prevent, manage, or mitigate them.
This 3-hour course is designed to do just that. Unlike most marriage prep programs, this is an individual course that I will tailor to you and your partner using questionnaires completed in advance as a guide. Find out how we can stack the odds in your favor!
