Are you tired of having the same argument over and over again? Do you wonder if you can ever reignite the spark in your sex life? Have you experienced a betrayal in your relationship and aren't sure if or how you can heal? Are you wanting to explore your sexual self but don't know where to start? If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place. You don't have to stay stuck. You can have a satisfying sex life and relationship.
My passion is to help people going through difficult life transitions. Many events in life can affect our stability; divorce, retirement, grief and loss, illness, accidents, losing your job, or living through a pandemic. Sometimes it's even hard to know why we feel how we feel. I help individuals, and also couples, overcome these difficulties.
I believe in forming a positive relationship with my clients, by providing them with a safe and nonjudgmental environment, empathy, genuine and a collaborative effort. I believe psychotherapy is an essential tool for today's society in order to cope with life stressors, ailments and psychological distress and trauma. Ultimately, my goal is to promote positive changes in my clients life, help alleviate emotional distress and help create healthy relationships within their lives and community.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Sex Therapist
Are you concerned about your sex life? As a sex therapist, I am passionate about helping clients navigate identity, relationships, or behaviors related to sex.
I'm a Flagler College alumnus ('95) and recently moved back to Saint Augustine with my wife and our three children. I've started my own practice, Elbow Tree Christian Counseling, because I wanted to paint the walls my own color, bring my dog to the office and wear flip flops!
