We all face challenges in our lives. Sometimes we get through them easily and sometimes we get stuck. Sometimes the thoughts of past challenges stick with us and influence our day-to-day activities. I believe that it can be helpful to talk through these thoughts and situations to gain clarity and decide how you want to move forward. I see my role as being a comfortable, supportive, non-judgmental, safe place to explore your concerns. Everyone's needs are different, but I can help you make plans for changes in your behaviors or find a new way of thinking about difficulties. You are the one to decide where we start and what goals you would like to accomplish in our time together.

 

As a certified sex therapist, I'm ready to talk about intimacy, pleasure, desire, sexual health and function, sexual relationships, and more. We all have beliefs and knowledge about sex that come from our families, society, and past relationships. Those beliefs and knowledge might not be useful to how we see ourselves as sexual beings now and it can be helpful to process how those beliefs are showing up. Each new relationship may bring new sexual insights that you want to process. I am LGBTQIA+, poly, and kink affirming.

 

As a marriage and family therapist, I try to look at many aspects to help guide changes that acknowledge the relationships and connections in your life. I also work to identify patterns in thoughts or behaviors that if changed may be more useful either individually or in your relationships.

 

Overall, I remain strength-based and solution-focused as we approach your goal attainment. I place a lot of value in the strength of a therapeutic relationship. I want you to feel like I am the person you can talk to and work with to improve yourself. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I have experience working with sexual health issues, relationship issues, family dynamics, depression, anxiety and trauma.

 

Please email me and we can work together to help you move forward. I look forward to hearing from you.
