You’ve put in a lot of effort, making progress, but sometimes slipping back into old patterns. Despite your hard work to improve your relationship or personal growth, something still feels missing. You’re searching for a therapist who not only recognizes your dedication but also has the tools and experience to guide you toward meaningful change.
I specialize in working with motivated couples and individuals ready to take control of their sexual experiences, enhance communication skills, and tackle life’s challenges with a fresh perspective. Whether you’re here because you’re caught in repetitive arguments, striving to become a better version of yourself, or struggling with pornography use, I can help.
I also support individuals navigating faith transitions, managing anxiety, and addressing problematic behaviors.
My approach focuses on three key areas to support your journey:
Transforming Actions: Together, we’ll replace unhelpful habits with new, effective coping skills.
Rewriting Patterns: We’ll identify and gradually shift negative patterns to align with your desired outcomes through small, manageable changes.
Processing Barriers: We’ll explore and address experiences that may be hindering your progress—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Using these strategies, along with your personal experiences, I create a therapeutic process that’s tailored to you. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, included, and understood every step of the way.
I’ve had the privilege of helping many motivated individuals achieve their goals, utilizing a range of techniques that address your unique challenges. I’m a Certified Mind-Body Bridging therapist, trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, with over 300 hours of post-graduate sex therapy training, and certified as a 4-D therapist (using the four quadrants of Gina Ogden's 4-dimensional wheel).
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to see if we’re a good fit. I look forward to meeting you.
Other supports I offer:
I run a Father’s group every second Wednesday of the month at 8 pm online called The Man Cave. This group is for fathers that want to better understand their child’s development, how to deal with their partner when the relationship feels crazy and to create a game plan for fatherhood. Not to mention BS with other dads
I also host a popular sexual/relationship health podcast for couples and parents called Birds and Bees Podcast. You can download episodes that pertain to your situation on iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher.
