I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Michigan, Arizona, Ohio, and Florida as well as a popular writer, lecturer, and educator who specializes in helping my clients have happier, healthier relationships with their bodies, their partners, and themselves.
I earned my Masters in Social Work from Wayne State University, where I specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Sex Therapy at the University of Michigan (where I am now a member of the core teaching faculty of the Sexual Health Certificate Program) and hold a PhD in Clinical Sexology.
I am also an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and Board Certified Diplomate of Sexology, and a Certified Solutions-Focused Therapist.
