The populations I serve include tweens, teenagers, and adults dealing with anxiety and stress, I especially like working with athletes.

I work to relieve suffering caused by symptoms or persistent problematic personality traits by helping clients obtain a more complete and honest picture of themselves.

I have 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and polycules. My book, Great Sex: Mapping Your Desire, is based on a sexual liberation workshop I've offered on campuses and at LGBTQ+ rights conferences in the US and around the world. My clients are usually in therapy but need specialized work on gender, sexuality, identity, and intimacy. 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.

Psychotherapy is a process of rebalancing yourself. When something is awry in your life-in relationships, career, emotion, health-your life loses its equilibrium.
