- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.

The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality accepts both individual and couples clients from the States of Florida and Massachusetts. Too many times, people are fearful of addressing sexual issues because they feel awkward or even shameful. My practice prides itself on creating a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where all sexual matters can be discussed. These areas include individual sexuality, Couples' sexuality issues around desire, arousal and orgasm. Relational dynamics with heterosexual identity, same sex relationships, Ethical/Consentual Non Monogamy, Betrayal, Affair recovery, Compulsive Sexual behaviors, Erectile Dysfunction, and Pain with Sexual activity. Being an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist adds to my research-based approaches. I am finishing my PhD in Sexology to continue to advance my knowledge base as I continue to offer therapy.
