About

I listen, act, and transform...

Are you feeling stuck in the impact of your trauma? Do you notice familiar patterns that disrupt your relationships or make intimacy difficult to experience or enjoy? Perhaps you have insight into your struggles, yet still find yourself emotionally reactive. It may be that your body is still holding memories of what happened in your past. I believe we all have the capacity for meaningful change — sometimes we just need skilled guidance. My focus in therapy is to build resilience, deepen understanding, and support intentional action. As a trauma therapist and Certified EMDR Practitioner with 35 years of experience, many therapists have sought out my services for their own work. With a specialty in intimacy and sex therapy, I help clients navigate complex concerns such as desire discrepancy and sexual pain to strengthen connection, increase sexual satisfaction and establish new strategies to navigate relational impasses. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can nurture their inner lives and their relationships. - A note about couples therapy - Couples therapy is private pay only, as this work focuses on the relationship rather than an individual diagnosis. I do not bill insurance or provide superbills for couples or relationship-focused therapy. Fees for Couples Therapy 90-minute initial intake: $250 60-minute session: $175 A limited number of sliding-scale appointments are available between based on financial need. I maintain the following credentials: *Certified EMDR Practitioner* *Institute for Relational Intimacy - Level II Graduate*
