• Create a healthy sex image so you can avoid inappropriate sexualization of relationships

In addition to being a masters level therapist, I have additional training in phototherapy, which I highly recommend for the process of resolving your feelings around sexual assault.  

Utilizing exercises related to photographs taken previously and while in consultation allows us to work through a number of challenges even more efficiently.

My Approach

I have a kind and gentle nature and a great deal of compassion and empathy for those who are suffering from sexual assault.  In our consultation, we work collaboratively as we work together to resolve those issues that are holding you back from experiencing your feelings and moving forward.  I've made the process of phone consultation very effortless for you; let me give you an idea of how we'd proceed:

Schedule Your Appointment Now with Just a Few Simple Steps

I've made phone consultation very easy and convenient.  You can make an appointment through my online web appointment scheduler.

1.  The first time you visit, you're asked to set up an account which takes only a few moments.  All I need is:

• Your first and last name
• An email address (for reminders and confirmations)
• A phone number at which I'll call you, and
• The general reason for our phone consultation

2.    Set an appointment that fits closest with your schedule.

3.    I'll ask you to pay for your appointment; I accept all major credit cards and PayPal
       (You don't need a PayPal account).

4.    I'll confirm that appointment with you by email and a reminder prior to our phone consultation.  
       I'll call you at the scheduled time and at the number you provided to me.

A Word About the Difference Between Consultation and Therapy

As a professional therapist and consultant for over a decade, I'm very aware of when therapy is indicated and when consultation is more beneficial to my clients.  

There's no doubt that therapy has a very valuable place in treating many different disorders, but there may be instances when consultation is much more effective for your progress.  

Some issues such as intimacy and sexuality work perfectly through consultation because deeper issues such as intense flashbacks and nightmares have been resolved.  However, if I feeling after speaking with you that in-person counseling is more appropriate, I'll be happy to refer you to someone in your area.  If we both determine you have issues that are suited to consultation, I'll be monitoring your progress so that you experience optimum results.
