Each of us is here with a unique gift to be named, claimed and celebrated. My work helps you discover and release whatever prevents the full expression of that gift, so that you can access your power and joy, which resets an inner compass to your highest destiny

I have 26 years experience working with couples, individuals, families and groups. I have personal and professional experience dealing with the challenges of being gay, lesbian, transgendered, polyamorous, kink, etc. I deeply appreciate the courage it takes to forge a path that is authentic, kind and generative. I believe our sexuality is a precious and essential expression of who we are, and treat it as such in my work.

After 25 years, I masterfully translate spiritual, psychological and shamanic wisdom into practical tools, and I transmit an energy of deep compassion blended with fierce knowing. I believe we are both wounded and are healed in relationship, and I offer you my best in this sacred work.

I believe that successful therapy brings about concrete change, not mere insight. I use a practical, active, goal-focused approach called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I will guide you in applying a variety of strategies, skills and techniques in your daily life that will help you achieve your personal therapy goals.

I will help you discover your vicious cycles of thoughts, feelings, behaviors and core beliefs that result in depression, anxiety, relationship and/or career problems. We will jointly design weekly therapeutic homework to help you break these vicious cycles and achieve your personal goals.

It is my aim to help you become your own personal therapist so that you can continue using the strategies, skills and techniques that you learned with me to meet future challenges and achieve further goals on your own.

Anxious? Shy? Unassertive? Nervous? Self-conscious? Embarrass easily? Public-speaking fear? Avoid socializing? Difficultly meeting people? Uncomfortable in groups? Pee shy? A specialization of mine is helping people overcome social anxiety: an overblown, debilitating fear of judgment, embarrassment or rejection.

At Peak Couples & Sex Therapy we believe that sexual health is mental health. Using virtual therapy, we are able to work with folks in DC, MD, VA, and WA. We believe that finding pleasure in our bodies, sharing that pleasure, and shaping our own relational narrative are at the core of our wellness. With a diverse staff of clinicians and a holistic, eclectic approach to mental health care our clients are able to feel heard and supported in a way they have often felt was not only taboo but actively risky. Our clients often come to see us because they’re facing a challenging relational or sexual issue, however, sex and relationships don’t happen in a vacuum. We may work on trauma, anxiety, depression, life stressors, grief, shame, or any other number of issues that affect us in order to provide the most comprehensive care. Clients are guided through their time with Peak by talented, empathetic, and specialized clinicians who provide space for each individual to write their own stories. We endeavor to create a wide range of healing and empowering offerings that meet each and every person where they are on their sexual and relational journeys. Lastly low fee services are available.  

At our practice, we focus on a holistic mental health approach. We achieve this not by just focusing on traditional psychotherapy, but also through means such as massage therapy, acupuncture, and nutritional services. We offer all of these in a safe, comforting environment with a truly caring staff.
