About dr. floyer

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples through my work, focusing on issues such as rebuilding trust after infidelity, reigniting passion in long-term relationships, sexual empowerment, healing and recovery from past traumas, overcoming sexual anxiety, expanding sexual horizons, and exploring desires. I also assist clients in navigating nontraditional relationships like polyamory and open marriages.

I’m a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing sex therapy and relationship counseling. My expertise lies in helping individuals and couples navigate sexual concerns, improve intimacy, and build healthier relationships. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore and celebrate their sexuality.

I support individuals and couples in addressing relationship and sexual challenges. I have broad training in different clinical modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Hadlock Process Model-, Schnarch, and traditional Cognitive Therapy. This allows me to choose the most appropriate model for the client or couple seeking therapy and helps achieve results more effectively.

My strength is using experiential therapy, which focuses on creating change in real-time. In working with you, I allow you to access and process emotions, behaviors, and experiences as they occur. The immediacy of experiential therapy helps you to create a sense of active participation in change and facilitates rapid progress, making it a powerful tool for personal transformation and healing. Together, these modalities provide a comprehensive toolkit to help navigate complex emotional and sexual challenges.
