Therapeutic Services
Specialized care designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be.
Individual therapy gives you the chance to evaluate and process issues that are throwing you out of balance. I focus on relationships, sex therapy, and trauma/PTSD.
In relationship therapy, I will help you uncover what you truly want to say and find a way to discover your partner’s honest intentions.
Intimacy issues seem impossible to work through. I will help you regain intimacy in your relationship and have a healthy, happy sex life.
Psychotherapy is a personal process of connecting with an empathic, well-trained therapist who will collaborate on your goals, strengths, and decisions.
As you become more conscious of your specific challenges and strengths, you gain the techniques to better care of yourself physically, emotionally, and professionally.
Many people enjoy therapy and relish the journey of becoming more conscious about themselves, their inner world, and their relationships.
As a trained sex therapist, I take an educational, experiential, and integrative approach to sex therapy and I provide a sex-positive, non-shaming space for you to explore intimacy issues.
How I Work
I utilize both traditional therapeutic methods, as well as evidence-based treatments supported by current research.
CBT is an empirically based method of treatment that emphasizes how our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors. Our past experiences can shape the way we think, often leading to maladaptive and irrational thinking patterns.
These negative thoughts and beliefs can lead to emotional distress and self-destructive behaviors. In cognitive-behavioral therapy, the client learns strategies to reduce irrational thinking and change behavior patterns, leading to improved well-being. The approach is goal-oriented and emphasizes problem-solving strategies.
Psychodynamic therapy is a traditional, insight-oriented form of treatment. It operates under the principle that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by internal conflicts that are often unconscious.
In psychodynamic therapy, clients explore early relationships and experiences (often involving their family-of-origin) so that they can gain insight into how these dynamics are influencing current relationships and behaviors. This awareness can lead to a decrease in distress and other negative emotions, and improve overall functioning.
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.
Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them—without believing, for instance, that there’s a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment.
When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future.
Sensate focus is a sex therapy technique introduced by the Masters and Johnson.
It works by refocusing the participants on their own sensory perceptions and sensuality, instead of goal-oriented behavior focused on the genitals and penetrative sex.
Sensate focus has been used to treat many sexual issues with individuals and couples.
The primary goal of the Gottman Method is to help couples to create greater empathy and understanding for each other, increase levels of intimacy, respect, and affection in the relationship, address verbal conflicts in the relationship, and to improve feelings of stagnancy within the relationship
Studies have repeatedly shown that the single most important factor in predicting successful treatment outcomes is the relationship between therapist and patient.
