About My Clients
My clients come from many different walks of life, ranging in age from their 70s to their 20s. Many are monogamous. Many are polyamorous or in open relationships. Some identify as kinky and some have not heard of this term. Many of my clients want to improve their relationships or their sex lives. I also work with a wide range of "more conventional issues," such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and existential concerns. About half my clients either have ADHD or autism and a third are LGBT+.
My Background and Approach
I take my work very seriously, which means that I strive to take myself very much not-seriously. Some sessions, you may need to cry. Some sessions you may need to laugh. This is a space for healing and growth. The most necessary ingredients for both of these things are warmth and play. My sessions can best be described as an abundance of warmth and play. I hold a Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) from University of Pennsylvania, where my work in positive sexuality turned into a multimillion dollar grant-funded research initiative. You can read about it in my piece at www.mappmagazine.com. I also hold a Master of Arts (MA) in Psychological Counseling and a Master of Education (EdM) in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University. While there, I also received an Advanced Certificate focused on LGBTQQIA and open/polyamorous clients in therapy. You can read my essay in the new edition to Kathy Labriola's book, Love in Abundance.
