My Approach to Helping
Professionally I'm a clinical social worker, sex therapist, supervisory or sex therapy, with more than 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I am a fearless, compassionate, and directive therapist who will remain engaged and present throughout our work together. I also teach clinicians, locally and internationally, on how to work effectively with various issues and populations. While couples therapy and sexuality are a major focus of my clinical work, I also see people who are confronting various life challenges that impact their sense of self and others.
I maintain a culturally diverse, LGBTQQIA+ welcoming, and kink affirming psychotherapy practice. I offer my clients a safe and respectful space to explore and honor their experiences while building a more satisfying life. You are not alone. You do not have to be held hostage to the pains and injures that frighten you. Whatever the struggle; there is always an opportunity to create hope and meaning in your life. Growth, while challenging, offers possibilities to break the isolation and injury of remaining silent and feeling powerless.
