I have 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and polycules. My books, Kink For Dummies, Polyamory For Dummies, and Great Sex: Mapping Your Desire, are based on a sexual liberation workshops I've offered on campuses and at LGBTQ+ rights conferences in the US and around the world. Most of us believe there is something 'wrong' with our sexuality - what we want/don't want, how we connect or fail to connect, what we know or don't know about our desire. In our work together, we discover the power of our sex his/her/theystories and plot a path to pleasure.

Do you feel shaped by past experiences in ways you don’t fully understand—stuck in patterns of pain, grief, or intense emotions that feel hard to escape? You may notice repeated relationship struggles, emotional reactivity, numbness, or a deep sense of loss that hasn’t resolved with time. Trauma and attachment wounds can live in the nervous system, quietly influencing how you feel, relate, and see yourself long after the original experiences have passed.

Welcome. At various times in our lives we all end up feeling sad, angry, anxious, or lost. Sometimes we end up in unhealthy patterns: doubting our self-worth, obsessing about the past or the future, lashing out at others, or isolating ourselves. So many of our unhelpful behaviors protect us in the short-term, but leave long-term costs. I'm a clinical social worker and I provide help with these and other issues. The core of my training has been to meet you where you are--mentally and emotionally--and help you find effective techniques to overcome adversity, feel better, and move on with your life.

I work with thoughtful professionals and emerging leaders seeking greater clarity, direction, and alignment in their work. Clients often come to coaching while navigating career transitions, leadership growth, or burnout despite professional success. Coaching provides a structured space to reflect, gain perspective, and navigate complex professional decisions with greater intention. Together we explore priorities, strengths, and possibilities so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a more intentional approach to your career and leadership.
Coaching is not therapy and does not treat mental health conditions.

Psychotherapy is a process of rebalancing yourself. When something is awry in your life-in relationships, career, emotion, health-your life loses its equilibrium. But as we construct your story in the safety of the therapeutic dialogue, we discover themes and patterns that help you articulate who you really are and what you truly want in your life.

You're good at keeping it together across every part of your life, professionally, personally, outwardly. But privately, something isn't working anymore. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, or the weight of past trauma, you've reached a point where pushing through on your own isn't enough. You want to understand what's actually driving your struggles and build something more lasting than another coping strategy. I'm a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with high-functioning adults and older teens (16+) whose inner lives don't match the competence they show the world.
