Beyond Diagnosis Counseling provides counseling for individuals, couples and families. I will help you with the most important part of living; building meaningful and loving connections with those who matter most to you. Relationship enhancement is the foundation of well-being. When we do not have a reliable and stable support system, we often try to fill the void with addictions or self-defeating coping mechanisms.
With closer connections, life's stressors seem more manageable and the quality of your life becomes immeasurable. It is my goal to help you feel empowered personally in order to begin the path to developing healthy connections and positive coping strategies to face life's challenges. I accept insurance so your sessions may be covered under your insurance plan.
Please check the Rates and Insurance information page for the most current list of insurances accepted. Because of the power of developing closer connections, therapy will often include some of the important people in your life.

Sex therapy is a specialized treatment focusing on the resolution of sexual concerns.
As in any other psychotherapy situation, talking is the mode of treatment.
There are no sexual relations nor nudity in the sessions.
The client talks explicitly about his/her problems, and with the help of the sex therapist, learns about the etiology of his/her concerns and explores various options to improve his/her sexual life.
Sex therapy is based on the assumptions that sex is good, that relationships should be meaningful, that interpersonal intimacy is a desirable goal, and that men and women have equal rights to full expression and enjoyment of healthy sexual relationships.

Your sexual health is an important area of your life and should be discussed and talked about during the clinical experience.
This can be a difficult topic to start talking about with your health care provider when you feel as though you should only be focusing on your treatments.
Treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation or hormonal therapy can affect your sexual functioning.
For men: Issues with erectile dysfunction, low desire/no desire or incontinence issues and body image issues and more can interfere with sexual functioning.
