Services

As an integrative therapist, I blend a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs and support your journey toward healing and growth.

I believe that no single approach works for everyone, which is why I tailor our sessions using a combination of techniques drawn from various schools of thought, including traditional talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral strategies, mindfulness, somatic based, acceptance based, emotion- focused, and other evidence-based practices.

This holistic, client-centered approach allows us to address the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of your well-being, creating a more comprehensive path to healing. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life stressors, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater self-awareness, I work with you to develop a plan that supports your personal growth, enhances your resilience, and fosters lasting change.

Together, we’ll explore the tools and strategies that resonate most with you, allowing you to tap into your inner resources, build healthier coping mechanisms, learn new skills, and cultivate a deeper sense of balance and fulfillment in your life.

Is Couples Therapy Right for You?

I believe that every relationship has the potential for growth and deeper connection. Whether you’re facing communication struggles, emotional disconnection, or life’s inevitable challenges, I offer a compassionate and safe space for couples to rebuild, strengthen, and rediscover each other.

Relationships are a journey, and sometimes, even the strongest partnerships need support. If you and your partner are experiencing any of the following, couples therapy can help:

• Communication breakdowns – Feel unheard or misunderstood? Therapy can help you develop healthier ways of speaking and listening.

Empowering Healthy Sexuality through Sex Therapy

I believe that sexual health is an important part of overall well-being. Whether you're experiencing intimacy issues, struggling with body image, or facing challenges with desire or sexual functioning, my sex therapy services provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore and address your concerns.

Sexuality is a deeply personal experience that varies from person to person. My goal is to help you create a positive, fulfilling relationship with your sexual self, so that you can experience greater satisfaction, connection, and pleasure—both individually and with your partner(s).

I see both individual clients and couples for sex therapy.  If a couple comes to me for sexual issues, I may request to have at least one, and possibly two or more, individual session with each member of the relationship as well to further understand underlying dynamics.

Is Sex Therapy Right for You?

Sex therapy isn’t just for individuals or couples experiencing significant sexual difficulties—it can also be a helpful resource for those who want to better understand their sexual health, improve intimacy, or explore their desires in a safe space. Here are a few reasons why people seek sex therapy:

• Low Desire or Libido – Struggling with a lack of interest in sex or feeling disconnected from your own desire.

• Performance Anxiety – Feeling pressure around sexual performance, which may lead to frustration or avoidance of intimacy.

• Painful Sex – Experiencing physical pain or discomfort during sex, including vaginismus, dyspareunia, or other sexual dysfunctions.

• Sexual Dysfunction – Issues such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or orgasm difficulties.

• Body Image Concerns – Negative self-image or body shame impacting your confidence and sexual experiences.

• Emotional or Physical Trauma – Addressing the effects of past trauma, including sexual abuse or assault, and learning to heal and reclaim your sexuality.

• Couples Issues – Difficulty in navigating sexual compatibility, communication, or reconnecting after a period of disconnection.

• Exploring Sexual Identity – Gaining clarity and acceptance around sexual orientation, gender identity, or non-traditional relationship structures.

Sex therapy is for anyone seeking to improve their sexual and intimate relationships, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or relationship status.

I offer a range of services designed to support your sexual well-being. Whether you're dealing with specific concerns or looking to enhance your intimacy, I provide the tools, understanding, and guidance to help you cultivate a fulfilling and healthy sexual life.

The Benefits of Sex Therapy

How Sex Therapy Works

Sex therapy is a process that involves both exploration and action. In our work together, you’ll gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors surrounding sex, and we’ll work toward actionable solutions that are tailored to your unique concerns and needs.

Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation: In the first few sessions, we’ll explore the concerns that bring you to therapy. We’ll also discuss your sexual history, relationship dynamics, and goals for therapy.

2. Setting Goals: Together, we’ll set clear, achievable goals to help guide your work in therapy. These goals may range from resolving specific sexual issues to improving overall intimacy.

3. Therapeutic Techniques: We will use a combination of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, sex education, and communication techniques to help you address challenges and enhance your sexual experiences.

4. Skill-Building Exercises: Often, we’ll give you specific exercises or assignments to practice outside of sessions. These might include communication practices, solo exercises to explore your body, or exercises for couples to improve sexual intimacy without the usual demands to perform or respond a certain way.

5. Ongoing Progress: Over time, we’ll monitor your progress, celebrate breakthroughs, and adjust our approach as needed to ensure that you’re moving toward your goals.

Sex therapy is a collaborative process. It’s about creating a safe, open space where you can explore your sexuality without shame, judgment, or embarrassment.
