I am a Psychologist, sex therapist, trainer of therapists, master clinician and coach who has had the honor of working with folks to better their lives for over 35 years.
I am mission oriented. My work has always been about practical solutions that provide relief while focusing on becoming one’s best self. It’s common for me to ask, “What do you want to be able to do at the end of this session that you can’t do now?”
I am approaching the end of my career and I want to turn my expertise into gold for as many people as possible. I am only interested in working with people who are committed to making substantial differences in their relationships and communities.
I am passionate about the existential aspects of sex/sensuality, a good death, and polarization. These days I am most excited about facilitating Ripening Retreats: Bridging Tantra and The Science of Relationship.
I am a mentor of professionals who are ready to become truly expert at building high quality relationships that yield empowered outcomes.
Welcome to my sanctuary.
