Therapeutic Approach

Therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative & empowering process of self-discovery & sustainable changes made over time. I partner with patients to understand their concerns & what factors contribute to them. I then explore with patients their various options so they can decide what best aligns with their values & goals. 

My therapeutic style is down-to-earth, nonjudgmental, direct, intuitive, and playfully engaging. It is informed by years of clinical experience, identification with the various communities I treat, & ongoing professional development and mentorship from some of the world’s leading sex therapists and authors on sex & sexuality.

What Happens in Therapy

You are welcomed into a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship within which you can observe & work through difficult thoughts, uncomfortable feelings, & unhelpful patterns in your life. I’ll ask the important questions and introduce you to new perspectives that can fundamentally change how you approach problem solving. Throughout our work together, you’re supported in thinking of yourself & your concerns differently, where change can be much easier to achieve than you expected. I invite you to discover new ways of crafting your most fulfilling life, both in & out of the bedroom.

Not satisfied with simply helping you to feel “less bad,” you have my commitment and support as you pursue pleasure, experience more moments of joy, and create a life worth celebrating.

Finding the right mental health professional or Certified Sex Therapist can be challenging and time consuming. When you schedule your free 15-minute Introductory Phone Consultation, we’ll review your concerns and goals for therapy. If we both agree that I’d be a good fit, we can schedule your Initial Evaluation for Therapy appointment. However, if another provider or treatment approach that I don’t offer might better meet your needs, I’ll gladly provide you with those referrals. 

It’s that simple.
