I’m a wife, mother, lover, musician, writer, gardener, and creative misfit. I have walked the walk. I lead with compassion and acceptance, and a healthy balance of levity and seriousness.

When you’re looking to make a deep transformation, it’s important to know who you are working with. While I have extensive training as a doctorate in depth psychology, board certified sexologist, and Sexual Health Alliance certified sex and relationship coach, those aren’t what I consider my greatest strengths.

I’ve been called a Renaissance Woman, a term used to describe “a person with deep, multifaceted knowledge, skills, and interests across a wide variety of subjects” (Brittanica.com). My work is my vocation, it stems from who I am, and not only by what I do. Beginning as an educator, I have a deep personal interest in the mind-body connection through health and wellness, and finally, as an expert in the field of psychology and erotic desire.

I believe our natural state is health. My belief is when we remove obstacles to this natural state, whether physical, emotional, or psychological, or spiritual, the body-mind-spirit-soul finds its own equilibrium. This is true for sexual health as well. I intentionally work outside the mainstream medical model that centers disease. For this reason, I do not diagnose, treat, nor give medical advice.

I understand the highs and lows, chronic pain, divorce, emotional intensity, career change, parenthood, and the power of sexual rediscovery and transformation, both alone and in relationship.

In our work together, you have access to me as a professional who brings this wealth integrated into who I am. If you want to work with someone who is not going to follow a script or formula, nor see you as a reduced to a label or diagnoses but as a complex and messy individual, we might be a good fit.
