About
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in infidelity recovery, betrayal trauma, sex addiction, pornography addiction, sexual health concerns, and couples counseling. Unlike many therapists who treat a broad range of issues, I have intentionally focused my practice on relationship, intimacy, and compulsive sexual behavior concerns. This specialization allows me to provide focused, expert care for individuals and couples facing challenges that require a deeper level of understanding and training.
My approach is both compassionate and direct. I believe therapy should provide more than support—it should provide insight, practical tools, accountability, and a clear path forward. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Reality Therapy, and sex therapy interventions to help clients identify patterns, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier relationships.
I have completed extensive advanced training in relationship therapy, sexual health, infidelity recovery, and compulsive sexual behavior treatment. My specialty allows me to address topics that many people find difficult to discuss, including pornography addiction, sex addiction, intimacy concerns, sexual dysfunction, betrayal trauma, and relationship repair. Clients often tell me that having a therapist who understands these issues in depth helps them feel understood, supported, and hopeful for the first time in a long time.

Individual
In person and online, $225 average fee
My style is direct, supportive, and engaged. I believe meaningful change occurs when insight is combined with practical action. Throughout treatment, we will work together to establish clear goals, monitor progress, and develop strategies that can be applied outside of therapy so improvements extend beyond the therapy office.
