 The following is intended as a general guide to some presenting problems Kevin has experience working with.

The Two of You 

Is your relationship connection breaking down? Are you having difficulty explaining or expressing yourself?  Do you often feel like you and your partner miss each others meaning or intent when talking? Do you find yourself or hear your partner say things like, “that’s not what I meant”?  Perhaps some help expressing yourself and understanding what your partner is saying is needed.

 Is there an affair, or obsession (sex, work, alcohol) causing conflict? Would you benefit from enhancing the intimate side of your relationship, perhaps learning something new?

 Are you having difficulties with orientation, identity or past sexual trauma and need a safe place to talk?

 Resolving conflicts in intimate relationships is a specialized field of therapy. As a Couple and Family Therapist, I am specially trained to help individuals, couples and families make meaningful changes around personal work issues. 

When you need a different perspective and help to build the life you want, call a relationship specialist.

 Helping couples to express themselves, and understand each other. Helping couples to re-connect and evaluate their connectedness and life direction and make the changes needed to feel better.

 Intimate and personal 

Sometimes the more a personal problem is, the harder it is to talk about. Take sex. Now there’s a topic that scares most people out of their wits.

 If you are having difficulty with your sexual relationship, suffer from sexual addiction, affairs or obsessions, or have experienced childhood trauma, you need someone to give you clear support and helpful advice.  As a therapist specially trained in helping people with these most intimate and personal issues, I offer a safe place to get the help you need. Whether you are monogamous or ploy amorous, and whether you are straight, gay, lesbian, bi, queer, transgendered, or not sure, you are welcome here. By the way, it’s kink friendly too.

 Having someone to talk to about performance anxiety, low desire, erection loss or orgasmic difficulties can change everything and allow you to live a fuller life.

 Get the clues you need to have a happier, healthier sex life.

Things getting out of hand?

When things get out of hand and what once seemed like a pleasurable pursuit has now taken over, you need someone to help you get life back.

 Anything that feels out of control may be an addiction and is certainly a problem. These can include such compelling things as Cyber Sex, Internet, on line chatting or games, drugs, gambling, alcohol, sex, work.  Addictions steal your life away and take control of you in a way that is very had to stop alone. Getting help is a major step in getting your life back from addiction.

 Free yourself with the help of safe, confidential therapy.

 Call to arrange an appointment and put your life back into your own hands.

 
 Working with people of all ages. Helping people to know when something fun and compelling has become a problem, and what to do about it. Helping people to deal with and claim life back when these compelling actions get out of control:

 Internet (surfing, chatting, on line games, pornography, cyber sex)

Alcohol, drugs, gambling

Work

Sex (un wanted desires and fetishes, masturbation, cyber sex)
