My Expert Service
Sex and sexuality are a part of life. Society and media play a huge role in defining what is right, what is wrong, what is accepted and what taboo. In this day and age sexual liberation may seem just around the corner, but there are still so many variables that can contribute, confine, and confuse. I specialize in Sex Therapy, Sexuality and Gender Counseling for Individuals or Couples. We are all affected by different aspects of sexuality, whether it be ours, our partner's, or a broader view. These in turn affect our choices, our relationships and our path.
My goal is to provide an avenue in which to explore sexual issues openly without judgement, including problems in sexual functioning, gender identity, sexual orientation, Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual,Transgender, Transsexual and Post-Transitioning Issues, Cross-Dressers, Partners, and Families, and HIV & AIDS Counseling "
