I am a highly trained and experienced Licensed Clinical Counselor, specializing in couples counseling and sex therapy, as well as specialized work with the evaluation and treatment of ADHD and other psychological and life problems. I bring over thirty years of experience to my counseling practice. I have also provided clinical supervision, taught numerous psychology/counseling courses, and conducted professional trainings and workshops in many areas of clinical work.
I have worked with literally hundreds of individuals and families in the New River Valley and surrounding areas. My approach is to be both active and compassionate with problem solving. I strive to motivate, support and help my clients develop creative ways to promote change. You can expect a safe and respectful partnership as we work together to identify specific goals that will help you quickly see the results you want in your life.
I also believe that it takes time for an individual to find the right therapist they are comfortable working with.

Services
Couples seek therapy for a wide range of reasons.
More often than not, couples who seek therapy have trouble communicating effectively.
Consequently, there is a breakdown in one or many parts of the relationship.
Often times I'll hear that couples have lost time in their lives for one another, the trust is gone, or they feel betrayed; their sexual lives and desire has diminished, they fight and argue about the same things and never find resolution; and they feel more negatively about their partner than they do positively.

Most people have sexual and/or relationship problems at one time or another during their lives.
Although the causes may vary widely, it is important to know that -- whatever the cause -- sexual and relationship issues can be treated.
If you can answer "Yes" to any of these questions, relationship and/or sex therapy counseling could help you overcome these problems.
If you or your partner have concerns related to sexual functioning, please contact our office.
Sexual difficulties may be lifelong or may begin in response to certain life events such as medical conditions or treatment, depression, medication use, change in a relationship, or aging.
