About

I have been working specifically with couples and individuals, empowering their dating, relationships and sex lives for over a decade. My work as a sex (and sex-positive) therapist focuses on developing stronger communication, a better understanding and awareness of our desires, driving forces, and developing a deeper connection between mind and body. I work to help people break down shame and guilt and feel more positive, and to develop healthier attitudes around sex, and sexuality. I deal with relationship issues, non monogamy and polyamory, and all dating concerns. I specialize in alternative lifestyles, modern relationships, creative expression, LGBTQ, kink, poly, sexual/social minorities, gender issues, sex workers, ethnic minorities, and issues around sexual orientation. I am also a published author, and a nationally recognized sex and relationship expert as well.

Currently, I consult with people all over via Skype and online platforms. I think Find A Therapist is a unique platform which allows for daily email exchanges, which supports the healing process while allowing people to discover (or re-discover) their voice through writing, which can be incredibly cathartic. I also provide education and counseling towards breaking the myths and molds which surround our hetero-normative, and monogamous-normative society, and which may contribute to hold us back and prevent us from expressing our true potential. I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD around religion and sex.

I feel that all things are interconnected. Our relationships cannot be healed unless we look at ourselves and vice versa. Our psychological experiences will have an affect on our bodies.
