Philosophy:
My work philosophy is centered around empowering individuals who feel stuck, guiding them towards genuine solutions in their lives. Recognizing that each individual's journey is unique, I understand that all sex therapy is not created equal. Through my extensive experience, I've come to realize that sexual problems often intertwine with psychological conflicts, and vice versa. As a result, I blend my expertise in clinical psychology with specialized training in couple and sex therapy, enabling me to address both the surface-level sexual issues and the underlying relationship challenges and psychological distress that may be at play. In my approach, I prioritize transparency and authenticity. I believe in being direct, honest, and yet gentle but forthright. Building a strong foundation of trust is vital, and once that connection is established, clients can expect me to offer insight into their situations, share my thoughts, and provide clear guidance on the path towards resolving their problems. I value my clients vulnerability to seek help, and my commitment to addressing those pressing issues remains steadfast throughout our journey together. Clients come to me seeking assistance, and they choose to stay because they experience positive outcomes and tangible progress. My ultimate goal is to unlock the potential for growth and positive change within each individual or couple supporting them every step of the way towards a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
