My Approach to Therapy

Many times it is very difficult to make the first step and ask for help. However, if you suffer, and your have already tried anything you could on your own, it might be time to get professional advice. I provides individual counseling. I collaborate with my clients. Your feedback along the way is very important to me. It helps me adjust my work so I can meet your needs and preferences. I am a certified sex therapist. These skills allow me to serve you better if you struggle with relationships and intimacy issues.

My Role as a Therapist

I am the midwife, who helps you through your own process and helps you remove your barriers.

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

I would explore with you what made previous therapy such a negative experience. At least, I will not repeat the same mistakes. I'll make new ones.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I believe that most therapists are wounded healers. As a therapist, I learn from my own journey so I can help you on your own.

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

It takes lots of courage and honesty to go to therapy. In a way, it is so much easier to stay with the current misery that is so familiar.

Groups I Work With

I offer remote therapy. For New Mexico residents, I offer only virtual therapy since I live in Michigan. I am not on any insurance panel in New Mexico, so it is privately paid only.
