My Approach to Helping

I disagree with the idea that therapy is for people who are "broken" and need "fixing." This is a bunch of hooey. You're not broken. You feel broken. It is my job to help you feel more whole. I am interested in what you think, how you feel, and how the two are connected.
What to expect: It takes a lot of strength to honestly assess your current situation, to confront certain truths and commit to makes changes in your life. In a supportive and collaborative environment, we will identify your goals, and map out a strategy to address your concerns. What to expect in couples counseling: I am marriage friendly; When we talk I make the assumption that you are here to save your relationship. I also recognize that some relationships are harmful, and different approaches may be taken to address specific concerns. Intimacy issues often are discussed in marriage therapy. Society does not always want us to talk about sex, and we are often left feeling as though we lack the skills to deal with sexual issues. Using up-to-date methods we can address sexual desire issues, male and female sexual dysfunction, as well as feelings of guilt, anxiety or fear around sex.
