I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS), EMDR +. When people have experienced abandonment and rejection from early in life to adulthood, it can create heartbreak and betrayal like no other. If you tend to get into destructive relationships where you end up hurt or end up hurting others, the grief, despair, and shame can be debilitating and overwhelming. It will be hard to show up in your relationships and be present. There will be struggles with relationships, with work, with children, and financial issues.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. We all have what it takes inside to make it over life's hurdles. But sometimes we need a helping hand. I am here to give you the support and skills you need to overcome the difficulties you face. I understand that looking for a therapist is a vulnerable experience. Be assured that I will see you as a person rather than a diagnosis. I believe that each person is unique and so should their therapy be. As such, I draw from multiple psychological approaches and tailor my approach to your specific needs.

Are you and your partner feeling “like roommates”? Are you fighting all the time? Never fighting, but not really talking either? Talking, but getting no where? Or just feeling disconnected from one another? I can help! Whether you’re dealing with communication problems, desire concerns, infidelity, infertility, feeling unappreciated or just going through the motions; I’ve helped individuals and couples just like you. You are not alone! Give me a call if you’re tired of the way it’s been and you’re motivated to have a healthier relationship, with yourself and/or your partner, as we head into 2023.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Sex Therapist. I have extensive experience working with couples who struggle with assertive communication in their relationship and wish to learn new and healthier ways to interact. I also specialize in working with clients facing sexual/intimacy issues such as sexless marriages, low libido, and sexual shame. At my practice, I offer premarital counseling and work with clients that deal with anxiety, depression, adjustment to life transitions, stress management, grief, and loss. My clients report noticing improvement in their challenges after 4-6 sessions.

Do you struggle with your inner critic? Have you felt lonely or rejected? Maybe you've tried to avoid anxiety, depression, or traumatic memories, seeking a way out of a rollercoaster of emotions. Have you experienced difficulty with life transitions; career/school stress; relationship issues including polyamory and CNM; bigotry; grief; addiction; sex/drug linked behavior; sexual assault/abuse; self-harm, or suicidal thoughts? Are you somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum and feel like no one in your life understands you? If you answered yes to any of these issues, when was the last time you had a space to talk that was just for you?

I work with people from diverse backgrounds: couples, families, individuals and groups -either, in English or Spanish. Issues explored: relations, career, personal challenges, trauma and family dynamics; also, gender roles, power and control issues, inequality, intimacy, sexuality, conflict and self-awareness. I provide my clients with a friendly environment that facilitates exploration, and the possibility of seeing old patterns from a different angle; with deep respect, an interested presence, and a curious attitude about my client's point of view. I believe in the power of healthy relationships. Relationships can be transformed if we are ready to re-invent ourselves.

Currently have a waitlist created for clients looking to receive therapy in the near future. You should be so proud of yourself for seeking support for yourself/relationship! I strive to empower clients and help you to see your own resiliency; YOU are much stronger than you know! Let's discuss what you've already tried, while also focusing on the present and future in session. I aim to cultivate a non-judgmental, accepting environment where you feel safe sharing your deepest thoughts and emotions. I want to help you cultivate the life, joy, and relationship you desire!

Do you feel “disconnected” in your relationship(s)? Has your sex life become stagnant and you feel like you need something more? Do you and your partner get stuck in patterns of repetitive arguments? Did you experience sexual trauma and struggle with intimacy? Are these challenges affecting your relationship and sexual satisfaction? If you’re ready to deepen your relationship and enhance your sexual experiences, I can help. My area of specialization is in sexual health/sex therapy and relationships.

I believe that your decision to seek therapy is a sign of strength, courage, and respect for your personal and relationship well-being. Congratulations on taking the first, and often, hardest step. Identifying a therapist with whom you are comfortable is also a critical step toward facilitating the changes that you desire. I have a collaborative and active style in therapy. I am sensitive to the diverse expressions of sexuality, gender, and lifestyles that my clients may bring. I specialize in sexual and relationship concerns, problematic sexual behaviors, kink/fetish, gender identity, and sexual identity.

My practice is exclusively focused on helping people improve their relationships. Are you hurting and want to heal from betrayal? Feel hopelessly stuck in a cycle of fighting and blame? Do you want to feel closer and more intimate with someone? I specialize in helping individuals and couples. I also specialize in working with men’s intimacy concerns including concerns with sexual function and problematic sexual behaviors. I provide an environment that is respectful of people from all backgrounds and I specialized training and expertise working with clients who identify as LGBTQIA and/or identify as kinky or polyamorous/ENM.

Is purity culture or religious messaging preventing you from dating, sex, and healthy relationships? Do you feel panicked before a date, uninterested in physical intimacy, or embarrassed to say you're still a virgin? I help millennials like you by using a holistic approach to therapy. I combine CBT, IFS therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices like nervous system regulation to heal at the root of your issues; cultivate self compassion; create new, healthy relationships; and step into your sexual liberation era. I also offer CPT Intensives if you want to heal NOW without spending months in the traditional therapy model.

We can’t seem to connect anymore. I’m so tired of fighting I don’t know if I can do it anymore. If I married the love of my life, why do I always feel so alone? We are basically just roommates these days. Do I really even love him/her anymore? We haven’t had sex in I don’t even know how long. If you have said or thought any of these things, I'm so sorry. You are not alone, and it doesn't have to be that way. I see you.
