Compassionate + Pragmatic Therapy.

For Individuals and Couples. Available Online and In-Person.

Maybe you’re here because you’ve been feeling stressed by school, work, or family. You feel disconnected from the people or activities you care about. At times, you might feel alone.

Perhaps you’ve been through an experience that has rattled you. Now you find yourself feeling anxious, down, angry, or like you aren’t sure of yourself or the world anymore.

It might be that your relationship is at a crossroads.

My Services

TRAUMA FOCUSED INDIVIDUAL THERAPY



Find healing from difficult experiences.

You have been through things in life that have shaken your sense of control, and of who you are. You want to start writing the story of your own life again. To begin moving forward.

You have a thirst for self-understanding.

If this sounds like you, we might be a great match.

I have years of experience helping people recover from the impact of traumatic and difficult experiences, including veterans, and active-duty members of the US armed forces and their families as well as adults in all seasons of life.

COUPLES THERAPY



Work on challenges in your relationship.

You might be at a decision point in your relationship, perhaps considering a big step like marriage, buying a home, or having a child. These are not easy decisions or ones to be taken lightly.

Or perhaps you’ve been growing distant, and you aren’t sure how to find your way back to each other. The ease between you and your physical connection is all but gone.

You’ve tried to address the issues yourself, but feel like you just keep ending up in the same place. You’d like to have someone who will guide through all the complexities. I can be that guide.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY



Reconnect with your sense of purpose and meaning.

Drifting. Going through the motions. Always on to the next thing. So many responsibilities-work, school, family, relationships.

With all of these demands, you’ve lost touch with who you are and what you want in life. It’s difficult to make space for yourself or to feel like you’re living up to your true potential.

If you’re craving a deeper connection with yourself, and your life, we may be a good fit.

Using research-backed treatments, I can help you tap into the strengths you already have inside, as well as learn new skills to not only cope with stress but to actually grow from it!

 

INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES SEX THERAPY



Perhaps you feel disconnected from your sexual energy, experience of lack of desire, or feel your sexual sense of self needs more development to flourish.

Or you want to explore your sexual and/or gender identity in a supportive environment that fosters self-discovery. Or you would like to better understand the relationship among some of the sexual issues you’re dealing with - lack of desire, pain when having sex, anxiety or trauma related to sexual experiences, and medical issues which may impact desire and sexual functioning.

My aim is to create a judgment-free zone where there is lots of space to explore these concerns and deal with them in a straightforward, effective, and empowering way.
