Therapist & Consultant in Michigan & Maryland
I have 35 years of experience providing individual and couples therapy. As an AASECT certified Sex Therapist, I operate from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective, believing that sexuality is at the core of the human experience. I welcome all the ways people express themselves as a sexual person.
My practice is founded on a commitment to equality, dignity, and freedom for all people, including those of various races, cultures, and sexual identities. My primary goal is to provide a physically and emotionally safe place for people of all diversities to work on their most intimate concerns.
