As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained to understand my clients from a systematic perspective. This means that I consider what my clients are experiencing in all aspects of their lives including their family, work, friends, neighborhood and cultures.

A better name for what I do is relational therapist, as I am always taking into consideration how the relationships my clients have are affecting them and influencing their problems. Even though I specialize in couples, I thoroughly enjoy working with individuals as well. In individual therapy, I have the opportunity to connect with my client in a different manner than couples therapy, where the relationship becomes my client. I find some of my most rewarding work comes from helping individuals change problematic sexual behavior and overcome past sexual trauma.

I also specialize in sex therapy which means that not only am I comfortable talking about sex and intimacy, but that I have had additional training in sexual dysfunction and other sexual issues.  I am certified in sex therapy by AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) which is the foremost sexuality certification organization.  I believe that life is too short to live without a truly intimate connection and I am motivated to help others learn to reconnect and save their relationship. I also feel that if a couple decides to end their relationship that it is important to do so in the best manner possible, which is why I offer divorce discernment counseling as well as help individuals and families adjust to divorce.
