About
Why I'm
here.
Sex therapist & supervisor. AASECT-certified. LMFT in MA, OR & NY. 10+ years in private practice.
I trained as a marriage and family therapist at UMass Boston, then became an AASECT (American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) certified sex therapist and, later, a supervisor of sex therapy. I co-founded a sex therapy agency and training institute in the greater Boston area where I worked for over a decade — seeing clients while also training therapists to become competent, confident sex therapists themselves.
I truly love this work. I love the adventure of moving relationships and individuals toward a greater sense of intimacy — the kind that can keep growing alongside us. I'm inspired by the transformation of therapists themselves as they witness and become part of fantastic change in their clients. And I never tire of learning, alongside and from both professionals and fellow sexuality enthusiasts, about this extraordinary corner of human life.
Education &
certification.
Our sexuality is interwoven into everything we are. It's something we can spend our whole lives trying to make sense of, in the midst of silence and a sex-negative world — immensely complex, particularly susceptible to shame and pressure and “shoulds.” And yet, it's a core element of our humanity — one powerful way we can express and receive love for ourselves and others. Therapy is a way to tap into the freedom and joy of unraveling ourselves from these barriers and discovering everything it has to offer.
