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.
I've been a queer feminist activist for 30 years - my collaborators hail from all over the US, China, South Africa, South Korea, Russia, and Egypt. They've helped me fully understand that each person's sexuality journey is entirely your own. Many of us bury the truth of our desires out of shame or in an effort to please our partners or fit in.

I have experience helping people with all kinds of issues, including relationships, sex and sexuality, addictions, gender identity, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, as well as general questions of self-worth.
We often have a variety of emotions and unacknowledged, "automatic" thoughts & beliefs that are at odds with how we want to live. I can help you be more mindful and aware of what is actually going on with yourself. With that knowledge, you can make changes and treat yourself differently, which will then shift how you experience life.

Are you a child of a dysfunctional family, see yourself playing roles of a caretaker, people pleaser, fawner or avoidant of conflict? Do you wonder how these roles began? Perhaps you recognize their origin but feel uncertain how to step outside of these roles that feel inauthentic. Do you ever think to yourself, “I don’t feel like I know my ‘true self’”? You may desire to show up differently but not sure where or how to begin. I assure you; these questions make complete sense to me, and I am here to work alongside you as we walk the path of discovering your inner wisdom and embodiment.

When I work with couples, I focus on your dynamics of intimacy, power imbalances, money, sexuality, and the impact of family and friends on your couple.
In group work I similarly focus on all the dynamics that get stirred up when we operate in groups, like competition and seeing and being seen for who we really are. I am now in the process of starting a psychotherapy group for women.

I work with a wide variety of clients in individual, couples, group and consultation formats.I provide a relationship that promotes respectful, direct expression of our unique human frailties and strengths be they happy, angry, fearful or sad. Psychotherapy is a potent elixir for change. The 'contents' of life provides for each of us at times a 'wild-ride', a 'lazy day', or somewhere in between. I help my clients with the 'process' of life to stay connected with their Self and others. If all goes well in the individual or couples therapy, most of my clients matriculate into a group psychotherapy process to further their growth.

I’m queer, gay, neurodivergent, & a non-linear thinker. I offer therapy for those tired of masking, pretending, performing, or polishing themselves just to get by. In a world that rewards fake smiles and emotional shutdown, being real is radical. I help you to reconnect with your body—not as a problem to fix, but as a source of truth, power, & resilience. Your emotions aren’t flaws; they’re signals. You don’t have to hold it all together to deserve support. You don’t have to fake calm to be okay. I’m here to help you feel what’s real, unmask safely, and discover the next honest step forward.
