Do you feel invisible?  Has life lost it's zest?  Do you feel like you and your spouse can't communicate?  Are you talking about the same things over and over again and not getting anywhere? Does well meaning friend's advise sound like old cliches? Are you leading a secret life? Is pornography consuming your day? Have you lost your way? Do you not know what to believe?

I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to be of help to you. While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained therapist helps alleviate emotional distress for good.  I am trained to listen and interact in a way that helps you get to the very root of your emotional concerns.  I can help you to regain your direction.

Because you will be putting a good deal of time, money, and energy into therapy, you should choose a therapist carefully. I strongly believe you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose, and hopeful about the therapy. When you feel this way, therapy is more likely to be helpful to you.   

My passion is to motivate and encourage you to realize your  full potential and achieve your dreams.  It is never too late to look at areas in your life that are creating significant stress and make a change or take a troubled relationship and turn it into a loving union.

Having worked in divorce recovery 20+ years, I understand the intense anguish people encounter. Many marriages are dealing with the devastation of sexual indiscretions, the lure of pornography and multiple affairs. I will help you process the "how" & "why" of your marriage deterioration so you won't repeat similar patterns in the future.  I will help you refocus your thoughts enabling you to develop positive goals and find purpose for your life.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist with a specialization in Sex Addiction and Trauma.  Recovery from out of control sexual behavior is a difficult journey.  We will develop a specific plan for you to follow so that you can become a person of integrity.  I also work with partners of sex addicts.  I will help you deal with the betrayal and focus on your own healing.

We are multidimensional people with physical, emotional, mental & spiritual needs that must be balanced for healthy & peaceful existence. Helping you find balance is the great joy of my work. Realizing & experiencing what God has in store will be the most exciting adventure of your life. My commitment to you: Providing a confidential, safe, & accepting environment.
