Someone with a Doctorate Degree in the field of Human Sexuality (Clinical Sexologist) is different from a Sex Educator or a Sex Therapist. Knowing the difference can help you find the person best equipped to help you.
My unique function as a Clinical Sexologist has the added benefit of my extensive background (4 decades) in health care, health education, women’s health care, international counseling, yoga therapy, etc. I use the combination of counseling, comprehensive sex education and health education in my work seeing clients and creating retreats.
It’s not unusual for me to work in concert with a Psychotherapist or MFT since their training may not have same depth of understanding about human sexuality that mine did, and visa versa with their depth of understanding of family or psychotherapy. It’s a complementary union.

My practice is primarily couples who desire rekindling their romance and sexy life together. I also work with couples who seek guidance for creating a new relationship design or agreements. One of my favorite things is pre-marriage counseling to help couples really understand all they are agreeing to. We have the “consensual monogamy or non-monogamy” discussion.
Helping couples develop communication skills for negotiating life as a couple VS a single is one of the most important roles I have.
I work with folks questioning their sexual orientation, however those considering gender reassignment, I do refer to trained therapists in this field.
I also have a passion for working with single adults in areas of confidence, communication techniques, “picker” problems, and to help them see patterns of relationship choices that are helpful and harmful.
Helping parents find tools to raise sexually healthy kids is another passion. Having raised three myself, and helping to raise my six grandchildren, this is an area near and dear to me.
Finally, women’s empowerment is a specialty of mine. Helping women find their voice, inner power source, sex energy, and learn they have human rights to a healthy pleasurable sexual life too. I include men who desire better skills for being in relationship with those empowered women.
All sessions are on Zoom. When you schedule your appointment you will automatically be emailed the Zoom link and passcode.
We will have a conversation. I will ask what brings you to see me today and away we go. I will ask questions that help me know your priorities. I will take notes during the session and be listening for key words from you. My role is to support you to the best of my ability.
Once I learn what is most important to you, together we will create a priority list to work on. I often give homework, sometimes homeplay too.
Most of what I do is to identify the places you feel stuck and offer tools to expand, educate, awaken, grow, build and create the life you desire.
Helping each person I see feel heard, seen, loved and safe is my primary priority. The rest is guided by you.
Important Note: With my medical background I will often identify the need for a medical doctor referral, occasionally with a request to ask for specific lab tests if hormone imbalance is suspected. I have also referred for medication adjustments, medical exams, or psychotherapy. I am very comfortable with my lane and asking for supportive help whenever we deem necessary. I firmly believe health care must be a team approach.
The frequency of sessions is fully up the client. I offer assignments and do provide some email support between sessions on occasion.
Some people are ready to get down to work and want weekly appointments. I have seen some clients one time and they felt at ease to move forward. My practice is Client Centered.
Important Note: We do not offer emergency crisis counseling. If you find yourself in crisis please contact your local mental health Hotline immediately.
