Sex

I have a special interest in human sexuality and treat myriad sexual disorders such as "sex addiction," hyper sexuality, and genito pelvic pain/penetration disorder, just to name a few.
4.
Family
Therapy
I work with all kinds of families from nuclear families, to single-parents homes, to blended families, extended families, and even the "families" you choose.
My Approach
My goal as a therapist is to assist you on your journey of self-awareness and personal discovery. While I take a here and now approach with clients, I also believe that understanding your present and being able to be fully aware of your thoughts and actions in the moment will help you confront and resolve issues and conflicts from your past.
About me
As a Southern California native, it wasn't until I stepped outside of my comfort zone (aka my Corona del Mar bubble) and made one of the biggest, life-changing decisions of my life: to move to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and pursue a career in broadcasting, that my life began to change as I embarked upon a never ending journey of self discovery.
Getting Help
Therapy is a great first step in getting the mental health help you need! But just as with all personal endeavors, you can't do it alone. That's why building a support team is critical in helping you to achieve your goals and obtaining the best care for your needs. Below are just some of the many resources available to you -- many at no cost what so ever!
