As a sex expert (Ph.D. in Human Sexuality, M.P.H. in Human Sexuality), an author ("Different Loving", "Come Hither", others), a sex-and-relationships expert (Cosmo, Maxim, GQ, Redbook, dozens of others), I have accumulated thousands of insights into what makes people tick sexually. One thing I know for sure: personal happiness cannot come until an individual is at peace with his or her sexual identity.
I pride myself in being different from other therapists. As a college professor, I've made learning a part of the therapy process for all my clients. Wherever your gaps in knowledge -- whether it's about the basic mechanics of sex or the most exotic variations on sex - I work with you until you feel empowered by trustworthy information, and prepared to make good choices.
Sex therapy is dynamic and targeted to find practical solutions to individual problems. I design each course of therapy according to each client's personal needs. We identify the key issues, explore options for change, set achievable goals together and we reach those goals as a team. I see myself as my client's advocate, working to provide you with the support and encouragement you deserve. I mix insight (talk) therapy with advice on behaviorial changes to help guide adults to making the positive changes they wish to see in their lives. I guarantee all clients complete confidentiality. If you require a binding confidentiality agreement, just ask.
As a kinky person myself, I am sympathetic to all mutually consensual adult expressions of sexuality. As I see it, a sex therapist is the person to whom you can pick up where previous therapy left off: the nitty gritty realities of your sex life. Finally, I bring a rare level of caring and concern for clients. When clients are working on issues that are important to them, they don't stop thinking about them between sessions and neither do I. Regular clients are encouraged to stay in touch between sessions via email and know that they can always count on me to be there when they need me. My clients are my priority.
I am incredibly proud of the results my clients see from my unique blend of therapeutic skill, deep insight, academic grounding, progressive opinions, and caring attitude.
