Areas of Specialization:
As a psychologist I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals and couples with a variety of relationship, sexual, and other personal problems, including anxiety and depression. In addition to helping individuals with sexual dysfunction (desire, arousal, orgasm and pain problems), I work with couples to enhance intimacy and to address issues of infidelity and sexual compulsivity/addiction.

Philosophy:
Treatment for sexual problems is collaborative effort, starting with an assessment, which leads to a treatment plan, agreed upon by therapist and client(s). Sex therapy in most cases is relatively brief, using a cognitive-behavioral approach. Homework including reading and exercises is usually an important component of treatment.
