Profession/Job Title:
Psychotherapist and UT Health Science Center faculty
Areas of Specialization:
My patients’ comfort level around sex varies a great deal – I work with patients with low desire who struggle seeing themselves as sexual people. Sex can carry so much anxiety; it can create a negative visceral reaction. At the same time, I help others navigate the road of negotiating kink, paraphilias or an open/poly relationship. I work with people who have desire discrepancies and out of control sexual behaviors, along with those who have painful sex, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, difficulties with orgasm, and many other issues. I work with heterosexual, LGBTQIA, monogamous and those who are consentually non-monogamous clients.
Offers Telepractice Options:
Yes
Office Hours:
Monday-Thursday, Fridays: UTHSC
Philosophy:
I offer counseling on a variety of mental health issues but include sexuality and sexual health as a component of therapy. Sex is one of the deepest and most powerful experiences we have, yet it can also cause distress and shame when it does not go as smoothly as we feel it should. Many of us have been socialized to feel uncomfortable with this topic, even when sharing with our physicians and partners. I offer individuals and couples an opportunity to talk through their thoughts in a safe, non-judgmental space. I work collaboratively with clients, directly addressing the issues that are causing distress, while sharing information and suggestions based on current research in the field of Sexual Health. I am not just speaking from personal experience but instead have had extensive training in Sexual Health and in Sex Therapy.
