Therapy Services
My approach to therapy, whether it is sex therapy, individual therapy, or couples therapy, integrates principles from multiple theoretical orientations such as cognitive-behavioral, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and relational-cultural. My therapeutic style includes creating a safe, accepting, and collaborative space so that the healing process occurs naturally and at each person’s needed pace. I like to consider every aspect of a person’s intersecting identities and background to form meaningful therapy goals and to tailor treatment to each individual client or relationship. Together, we will create a plan for treatment, learn practical skills for addressing stressors, and explore the underlying patterns and emotions that create distress, whether sexual or otherwise. My overall goal is to you navigate through difficult issues in a way that is authentic for you so that when you finish therapy you leave feeling a sense of zest, healing, and belonging within yourself. See below for more details regarding offered services.
Sex Therapy
I am dedicated to providing a comprehensive and empathetic approach to sexual therapy. With expertise in addressing a wide range of sexual concerns, I strive to help my clients navigate their unique experiences and find healing amidst sexual distress.
From delayed ejaculation and erectile disorder to female orgasmic disorder and female sexual interest or arousal disorder, I offer therapeutic guidance to individuals grappling with various sexual dysfunctions. Additionally, I specialize in assisting those struggling with genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, male hypoactive sexual desire disorder, premature (early) ejaculation, and relationship challenges caused by sexual functioning issues.
Furthermore, I am here to address curiosities or concerns related to sexual orientation and gender identity. I understand that exploring these aspects of one's identity can be deeply personal and sensitive, and I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore and discover.
Every client's journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to their specific needs, employing evidence-based therapies and techniques to maximize outcomes. Whether you are seeking support for sexual dysfunctions or looking to understand and embrace your sexual orientation or gender identity, I am here to provide competent and compassionate care, empowering you to reclaim your sexuality and enhance your overall well-being.
Psychotherapy
Throughout my years of training and practice, I have become known as a generalist. This means that I have developed a vast knowledge and extensive experience in treating a wide range of mental health concerns. Some of the issues I specialize in include depression, anxiety, identity formation, identity distress, disordered eating, behavioral issues, relationship distress, and trauma. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples/partner dynamics, providing therapy that is tailored to meet their specific needs and challenges.
When I work with clients facing these, and various other concerns, my approach goes beyond surface-level symptom management. I delve deep into the root causes of their struggles, aiming to identify and disentangle long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are often the result of relational wounds and painful experiences. By recognizing and understanding these patterns, we can begin to challenge them and pave the way for new ways of being.
My ultimate goal is to help you develop the ability to authentically engage with yourself and others. Together, we will explore the limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that have been holding you back, and replace them with empowering thoughts and healthier coping mechanisms. Through our therapeutic collaboration, you will gain the insight and skills necessary to navigate life's challenges and build meaningful connections.
Whether you are seeking support for personal growth, healing from past traumas, or improved mental well-being, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to embark on your journey. Together, we will strive towards a life of authenticity, resilience, and fulfillment.
