I am a licensed couples' counselor and nationally certified sex therapist. I work in private practice in Seattle, WA. Over the course of my therapy career, I have focused almost exclusively on helping couples with their emotional and sexual intimacy. In my years of clinical experience, I have treated hundreds of couples who have struggled to feel sexual desire and fulfillment.
My clients describe having a good relationship in other ways, but their sex life has become difficult to the point that they start to avoid sex. These are people who love each other but are struggling to have a sex life they both enjoy. I specialize in helping these couples who find that sex has become stressful, negative, disappointing, or pressured.
I educate, coach, and support people as they go through my 9-phase experiential process that allows them real world practice in changing their relationship and their sex life. I received my Master's in Psychology from LIOS college of Saybrook University and Sex Therapist certification from the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).
