Personal Statement

I believe therapy is a positive growth experience for individuals and couples who have various challenges in their lives. I have worked with clients on a variety of life's struggles including depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol dependency, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. I have worked with couples on sexual dysfunction and desire issues, relationship problems, infidelity, and communication difficulties. I have assisted clients through struggles with their sexuality, Gay and Lesbian issues, and various health concerns including AIDS and HIV infected and affected persons. I am devoted to my work and dedicated to helping my patients live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Couples and Intimacy

I am passionate about creating, rekindling, preserving the intimacy and passion in couple relationships. A fulfilling sex life is an essential element in a well-balanced and healthy life. Marital conflict, sexual dysfunction and lack of communication are just a few issues reported by the couples I have worked with and studies throughout my clinical experiences. Powerful communication strategies and behavioral techniques are used to help you and your partner release negative emotions that may block sexual desire, guilt and fears of intimacy and sexual inhibition. By using my techniques, I will help you achieve a more intimate, satisfying and passionate relationship.
