Clinical Psychologist Magniflora Psychotherapy
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Aging, Attachment Issues, Blended Families,

Introduction

Feeling stuck and motionless in a relationship is an all-too-common feeling. So many couples struggle with sex issues, talking about vulnerable topics, and having the same fights over and over again. Finding the "right person" and putting in the effort it takes to keep a relationship going is HARD, and our histories and relationship patterns don’t always help us do that. As a licensed psychologist specializing in relationships and sexuality, I’m here to help organize the mess and provide a path forward, whether that’s with couples or individuals who need some guidance. My background is with couples and individuals, and through my experience working with relationship and sex issues, as well as other issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, identity, and divorce, I’ve learned how to best help couples and individuals figure out a) what they want, and b) how to get there. My approach is relational and emotion-focused, meaning that I am right there with you in the difficult, heavy emotions. Change is always possible when there is motivation! I use therapy to help others grow and heal while recognizing and reshaping unhelpful patterns that lead to disconnection in relationships with oneself and others.
