Especially with COVID and all of the changes that are happening as a result, adjustment disorders are on the rise.

Abuses comes in many forms, toward the self, other, and the planet. I have extensive experience with narcissistic abuse, substance abuse, the misuse of psychedelics, eating disorders and verbal/emotional abuse.

I approach sexual problems with empathy and expertise, offering a safe and nonjudgmental environment for individuals and couples to explore their concerns, desires and what may impeding pleasure. Through evidence-based interventions, open communication, and collaborative goal-setting, I help clients address sexual difficulties such as erectile dysfunction, low libido, and intimacy issues, empowering them to achieve greater satisfaction and fulfillment in their sexual lives.

I have been practicing ecopsychology for over 10 years. This may include using plants and pictures of plants or a nature scene, or it may include meeting in person (when possible) on the beach or in the woods. The use of nature provides for a deeper level of healing that may increase empathy for oneself, others and the planet.

Holistic therapy integrates the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. I employ a holistic approach to address clients' concerns by considering their lifestyle, relationships, and belief systems. Through a combination of talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle adjustments, I support clients in achieving balance and harmony in all areas of their lives, promoting holistic healing and growth.

In my practice, I integrate mindfulness, somatic practices, and client-centered exploration to honor the intersection of spirituality and the mind-body connection in sexuality. Through compassionate inquiry and tailored interventions, I help individuals cultivate awareness, acceptance, and connection with their bodies, enhancing their sexual well-being and overall sense of wholeness.

In addressing aging concerns, I provide a supportive and empowering space for individuals to navigate changes in sexuality, intimacy, and body image as they age. Through personalized strategies, psychoeducation, and compassionate exploration, I help clients embrace their evolving sexual selves with confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of vitality and fulfillment.

Incorporating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) into therapy, I help clients process past traumas and negative experiences that may be impacting their sexual well-being. By engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, alongside targeted therapy, clients can reprocess traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and cultivate a sense of empowerment and resilience in their sexual lives.

As a sex therapist, I offer a sex-positive approach to address sexual concerns and enhance pleasure. Through open dialogue, education, and practical techniques, I empower clients to embrace their desires, overcome challenges, and cultivate fulfilling sexual experiences. My goal is to create a supportive environment where individuals and couples can explore their sexuality with confidence, authenticity, and joy.
