Congratulations! If you are reading this, you have found the courage to take an important step towards taking care of yourself. Perhaps counseling is something you have been putting off for a long time believing that others would judge you as weak, or that other needs in your life were more important. We have all experienced various degrees of trauma in our lives. Sometimes we find it difficult to move forward because of overwhelming emotions and self-limiting beliefs. Obtaining counseling is in fact a strong and wise decision. I would consider it a privilege to join you on your journey of discovery and healing.

I have named my practice Heart's Desire Hypnosis because I love to help people fulfill their hearts' desires and see their lives transform for the better. I use hypnosis and other modalities (Sound, EFT, NLP, Hypno-waving, guided visualization and mindfulness meditation, Qigong) to help my clients overcome obstacles to their health and happiness. The most common hypnotic applications are smoking cessation, physical and emotional weight release, stress management, meditation instruction, healing from grief and trauma, and intentional living coaching.

Giving you the space for reflection and introspection is important for you to feel empowered, improve the relationship you have with yourself and others, identify solutions that work, and boost your confidence.
Do you want to feel more in control of your thoughts? Are you wanting to move more towards the people, places, and things that are important to you? Change can be scary. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. It can make us feel less interested in our favorite activities, like we will never be happy or fulfilled, or that there will never be a solution to what you are going through. Our anxious thoughts can get in the way of being present with ourselves and our family/friends. We all just want to feel grounded in the present moment, like we belong and are prepared to face anything that comes our way.

As a Nurse Practitioner, sex therapist and intimacy counselor, I believe love and connection are central to human happiness. Through discreet virtual sessions, I help individuals and couples overcome obstacles to intimacy – opening the door to deeper connections, with increased love and affection. Difficulties with intimacy can arise at different points across the lifespan. Childbirth, stress of work/life balance, menopause, cancer treatments, and aging can all create or intensify barriers to sexual fulfillment.

Welcoming individuals, couples, and families in my practice, I offer sessions in office, via telehealth or outside walking in local parks.
It's more common than we recognize to feel depleted or lost. Sometimes life has a way of challenging us, pushing our limits or asking us to expand even when we're not sure we can. To navigate these uncertainties, including the possibility of failure, we need support in this journey of self-discovery; to be authentically seen and accepted for who we are without judgement. Though it may be uncomfortable, having your experiences validated can ultimately be liberating, and I am committed to helping you go there. Whether it be past or present, how to get started or what the solution looks like, we will figure it out, together.

As a clinical psychologist specializing in relationship difficulties, I have worked with many individuals who struggle with conflict in their intimate relationships, experience fears about closeness or intimacy, feel anxiety about relating to others, and those who have trouble feeling generally satisfied in their relationships. I believe that dissatisfying relationships contribute to emotional stress and pain, and that promoting stronger, healthier relationships can lead to people experiencing happier and more productive lives. I work with individuals to explore these struggles and develop understanding or insight about their patterns in relationships, with the ultimate goal of helping people have a different experience in their current relationships.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
