I have a broad range of counseling experience and have worked with many personal, behavioral, and cultural issues over my 20+ year counseling career. I utilize a holistic approach to help you create positive change within your life. We all encounter transitions in our lifetime (e.g., divorce, relationship issues, illness, death of loved ones, occupational conflicts, separation from employment, end of military service, empty nests, etc.), but it is often the way we respond to these challenges more than the actual challenges themselves that impacts our overall physical and emotional health and wellbeing.

I help distant couples rebuild their sex life, talk about sex and intimacy in a confident and comfortable way, and overcome anger, betrayal, secret keeping, and infidelity. I would love to help you and your partner create a playful, passionate, erotic, and meaningful marriage.
