Life’s unique challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. Whether you’re an individual feeling stuck or a couple looking to reconnect, my practice is dedicated to helping you move past the roadblocks and build the satisfying life and relationships you deserve. You might be feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma, or seeking clarity in your identity. Couples often seek me out to resolve low desire, mismatched desire, or sexual dysfunctions (like erectile/orgasmic difficulties). You want a safe, informed space to discuss sensitive topics and achieve a deep, authentic connection.
I help you master the skills for a fulfilling life. As a Certified Sex Therapist & Supervisor, founder of LI Sex Therapy, & Director of Clinical Sexology at Widener University, I provide a judgment-free, informed space to help you resolve sexual dysfunctions, address identity challenges, manage chronic illnesses or disabilities, & heal the impact of trauma.
Taking this first step is the hardest part—I honor your courage. You've found a highly respected expert (Voted Best Sex Therapist on LI many times) who will listen without judgment. Stop waiting for things to change. Start building the confident, connected life you truly deserve. I look forward to hearing your story and discussing how we can start our work.
