Background

I have more than 25 years' experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in private practice for more than a decade providing individual, marital, couple and group therapy. I am an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and also certified in Mindfulness. My sex therapy training includes studying at both the Institute of Sexuality Education and Enlightenment (ISEE) and The Buehler Institute.

My approach to sex therapy is to create a confidential and non-judgmental environment, promoting the beneficial influence of sexuality on people’s lives through a scientific method rather than an ideological perspective. This transformative approach seeks to understand the psychological, biological, pharmacological, relational, and contextual aspects of sexual issues, and address them through a formalized and evidence-based process.
