I will help you understand and overcome barriers and challenges as we foster opportunities for options and possibilities. Therapy is an active partnership driven by your hopes, needs, and dreams. We will work together to create the change in your life that can fulfill your aspirations. Therapy is a dynamic, interactive, collaborative process in which the therapist guides and supports the client in mindfully directing their motivation, commitment, strengths, and courage. I provide a supportive, caring, non-judgmental, responsive approach to a therapeutic relationship based on trust and collaboration. I have extensive experience empowering people to develop, utilize and enhance coping skills long after completion of therapeutic services, as they move forward in realizing their goals. Please call or email me to arrange an initial consultation. I look forward to speaking with you. [Read More]

During COVID-19 I am happy to offer phone or teletherapy sessions via a HIPPA compliant platform called Clocktree. You are on your way to new possibilities, new possibilities where you SETTLE FOR MORE. My desire is to help you manage sexual issues and improve your relationships using talk therapy, a nonjudgmental stance, and humor.  I enjoy working with individuals as well as couples. The relationship with a therapist is the most important element to successful therapy outcomes, more than technique or theory.  My role as a therapist is to provide a safe place to openly discuss your inner thoughts.  It takes courage to enter counseling. My office will be a safe place. One of the most common sex therapy struggles I see is a difference in libido/sex drive.  Many times it is the man with a lower libido than the woman, which can be especially troubling for the couple.  I look at improving low libido from a mind and body perspective.  Our largest sex organ is our brain.  Many times, sexual interaction and behavioral patterns have developed that cause distress for the couple.  These patterns need to be deconstructed and replaced with realistic behaviors. Sex therapy is TALK therapy centered on the intimate thoughts, behaviors, patterns, and history of your sex life.   Sex therapy has no exams, no nudity, and no sexual contact.  I am comfortable talking about sex and I want to help my clients be more comfortable talking with their partner about sex. Everyone is a sexual being and everyone has sexual problems at some point in their life.  You are not alone and I can help.  I can help untangle sexual problems at their core~ from childhood misunderstandings to sexual technique to adult connection problems.  Sex therapy can answer questions and provide sex education.  Couples counseling goes hand in hand with sex therapy as physical and emotional intimacy are intertwined. I have 20 years of experience working with a wide range of issues in addition to sex therapy including depression, anxiety, grief, premarital counseling, parenting, anger management, couples counseling, addiction, deciding to divorce or not, and infidelity recovery.  I choose not to work with high conflict couples. One aspect of my practice that makes me unique is that I am a solo private practice, not a group practice.  I answer the phone myself and many times I am able to answer your initial call.

When I was a defiant and moody teenager, my parents sought therapy for me. Therapy was place in which I felt supported and understood. I was able to learn great insight into how I tick and understanding others’ perspectives.  It was through that experience that I was inspired to create an environment for others that was both validating and encouraging for personal growth. I aim to establish a therapeutic relationship that enables my clients to move forward with their goals, whether it be their self-image, personal relationships, managing difficult emotions, or getting through an especially challenging life event. I pull from a number of different theories and therapeutic approaches. However, I believe that without a strong therapeutic relationship, no work can be done, thus that is my main focus. I can appreciate that waving the white flag and taking the step to meet with a mental health professional is not an easy task for many. I applaud those who take the risk to open up to a therapist, ask for that outside perspective, and take the plunge inward to learn more about how they can meet their goals! [Read More]

Everyone has times in life where they feel disconnected, unsure, or unsatisfied. At times like these it can be difficult to reach out for support and to feel heard. I hope to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to allow my clients to reach their goals and to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families facing problems related to depression, anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, relational distress, and life transitions. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice, but draw from mindfulness-based therapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method when working with my clients. I offer individual and family psychotherapy and counseling and provide primarily evening appointments to assist with offering appointment times that fit into busy lifestyles. [Read More]

For over 30 years I have helped thousands of women like you find their voice and claim a life that feels good. Earning a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and holding a license to practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring both training and experience to the consulting room. Although I don’t make it a practice to talk about myself I think it might be relevant for you to know a few basics. As a mother and a daughter, I have raised 2 girls to adulthood been married, divorced and am now happily remarried. I know first hand that no life is perfect but that the growth that comes from self-reflection can be incredibly satisfying and deeply rewarding. As a therapist, I have seen what is truly helpful and what is merely a band-aid. At this stage in my career, I am only interested in conducting therapy that has the best chance of actually helping my clients. For me, that means going deep and getting to the heart of what matters rather than merely managing symptoms. [Read More]
