"I provide individual therapy to adults that are struggling with depression, anxiety disorders/panic attacks, grief/loss issues, and other life/relationship issues. I enjoy teaching individuals empowerment and assertiveness skills.

As a Clinical Sexologist and Certified Sex Therapist, I assist individuals and couples, of any sexual orientation or gender that have questions or concerns regarding their sexual functioning, overall sexuality, and sexual expression. Some of the areas I address are desire and arousal dysfunctions, dysfunctional sexual problems, erectile dysfunction, orgasmic dysfunctions, rapid ejaculation, sexual abuse/trauma issues, sexual behavior problems including sexual compulsivity (or addiction), sexual education, and sexual pain disorders. In addition, I help individuals and couples who just want to enhance their sex lives.

I also work with my husband, providing couples counseling and coaching services. We coach/counsel couples together which offers a unique and balanced male/female perspective and a combined coaching/therapy approach to helping our clients with a variety of relationship issues and/or sexual concerns."
