My Approach to Helping

As a Certified Sex Therapist in Orange County, CA, I work with individuals and couples who are either having particular problems in their sexual functioning or who are unsatisfied with the quality and/or frequency of their sexual activity. I help clients with a wide range of sexual concerns, with special skills in couples issues, low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, rapid or delayed/inhibited ejaculation, women's anorgasmia and sexual inhibition, sexual trauma, adults molested as children, and sexual compulsions/addictions.

As an experienced Addictions Specialist I have helped hundreds of people stop their destructive drug & alcohol abuse, gambling and sex addiction & porn addictions. I trained with and spent several years as a Substance Abuse Counselor with the Orange County Health Care Agency working with individuals and groups as a substance abuse counselor, an addiction group facilitator, an intake coordinator, crisis counselor, and a member of the psychiatric evaluation team.

More Info About My Practice

I believe that sexuality is a primary component of human fulfillment and overall happiness and should not be ignored or rooted in fear or shame. I know that virtually all sexual problems and issues have solutions and can be resolved. My philosophy is that each individual already has the resources to overcome these issues, but may need help from a trained, empathetic and non-judgmental professional to achieve success. To facilitate this growth, I create a safe, warm, positive environment to provide the appropriate therapeutic services for individual and couples who have the courage to ask for help with their problems.

My usual fee is $130 per 50 minute session and $190 for an 80 minute session. Payment is due at the time services are rendered. I accept all major credit cards, checks and cash.
