I work with individuals and couples in building their toolbox with skills and techniques useful in their daily lives. An unhealthy relationship has a negative impact on the mental and the emotional health, as a license counselor and sex therapist, I work to help couples rebuild their trust in order to impactfully communicate, enhancing the relationship overall. Sexual dysfunction, desire and intimacy concerns, body imaging, chronic pain and illness issues, are some areas I have worked with as a sex therapist.

Thank you for reading my counselor profile. I have been a licensed (LPC) and certified (CRC) counselor for about 30 years. I have experience in a variety of rehabilitation and mental health settings. This clinical background has given me the opportunity to assist a diverse group of individuals with many different life issues. Fortunately, I have able to work with both younger and older adults throughout my career. My general counseling style is client centered. The tools I use are drawn from an eclectic group of counseling theories, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Of course, expertise and a solid theoretical base are important in effectively helping others, but every individual is unique. Therefore, everyone who seeks counseling has unique issues and deserves individualized assistance. No one is their "diagnosis" or "disability". The client is the expert on him or herself. Change can be difficult. My contribution, as a guide and partner, is to really listen, care, and share what has worked for others in situations similar to yours. Then, together, we can develop realistic goals leading to a better future.

One of my favorite quotes is "Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride." I have often found that life can throw you a curveball when you least expect it, and it is often hard to navigate those challenges on your own. Have you ever found yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed about things going on in your life? What if you could have an unbiased, safe environment to openly express your thoughts and feelings without needing to censor yourself or fear judgement. That is what I do for my clients, provide a safe space where they can feel empowered to openly express themselves and work towards achieving their goals. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process.
