Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Certified Sex Therapist
Center City Philadelphia
Marriage, Family, and Sex Therapy Services
I work systemically — which means I’m interested in the patterns between people, not just what’s happening inside one person. Whether you come in alone, as a couple, or as a family, we look at how the relationships around you shape what you’re struggling with.
Sexual difficulties rarely exist apart from the relationship they happen in, and as a Certified Sex Therapist I work with intimacy, desire, and sexual concerns in the same relational context as everything else.
I create an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward — deepening their understanding of themselves and the people they love, and making choices that move their lives in the direction they want.
Relationship difficulties are best addressed directly and early. Communication builds the mutual understanding that makes change possible.

For over twenty years I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on:
-
- Infidelity and attachment injuries, including jealousy
- Sexual concerns, including desire, function, and out of control sexual behavior
- Communication difficulties and conflict
- Separation, divorce, grief, and loss
- Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders
- Post-traumatic stress
I also work with clients navigating sexual and gender identity, and with people in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.
I view issues contextually, considering how culture, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, and other identities shape a person’s lived experience.
