Hensci (greetings) and welcome! - thank you for taking the time to check out my work. People visit my website for all kinds of reasons; referral, curiosity, need of professional services, and an interest in my work as a soma-cultural sex therapist and educator.  

What is soma-cultural? This is a phrase I use to highlight my interest in the body and its relation to culture which helps shape, challenge, and ultimately influence our experiences. I hold values in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity.  These values guide my work and inform how I understand the complex issues people experience in their lives.  I apply these values to my work in psychotherapy, sex therapy, supervision, workshops and trainings, and sexuality studies.

​

My training as a psychotherapist and sex therapist included little information about how our varying cultures impact the way we feel, think, and behave around our sexuality.  Yet, in my numerous years in the field I have not met one client for whom culture didn't play a role in the challenges they were facing in regards to their sexual health and vitality. Thankfully, my undergraduate studies as an anthropology major helped me recognize the importance of knowing the role culture plays in our personal experiences.

​

It is my core professional belief across all of my disciplines that in order to fully understand our lived experience, we must include an examination of how culture impacts our bodies.
