My Approach to Helping

Some individuals seek treatment to alleviate distressing symptoms, some seek help because they feel "stuck" or need to find solutions to particular problems, while others seek self-exploration and personal growth. Whatever your reason for seeking psychotherapy, the primary catalyst for change will be working through your issues in a safe, positive, judgment-free environment. My approach to treatment is collaborative, taking into account the needs and preferences of each person.
My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and issues of sexual health. I have specialized training in sex therapy. Sex therapy is very effective in the treatment of problems with sexual desire, sexual arousal, orgasm, and sexual pain. Too many people suffer silently, unaware that there is treatment for such conditions, or, perhaps, too embarrassed to seek help. I offer you the tools to help you identify these problems and learn techniques to overcome them.
