Please EMAIL. Conflict within ourselves and our relationships can feel exhausting and isolating. Sometimes it can feel as though we are powerless or stuck waiting for other people or our environment to change. I believe growth is always possible when people feel strong support as they address unhelpful patterns and narratives. By deeply respecting how experiences affect clients, I seek to empower them to exercise more influence and agency in their lives and relationships.

The sexual part of your life is not where you want it to be and you are desperate for change. You and your partner are worried that something might be wrong with you or your relationship. You don’t know where to go for help. This sexual issue is keeping you from being happy and you and/or your partner are depressed and anxious all the time. You think about this all the time. You feel like you don’t know enough about sex and you certainly don’t know how to solve this problem, even though you have tried. No one taught you how to have a healthy and positive sexual identity, so how are you supposed to know how to fix this?
