About Me

I am a licensed clinical social worker and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I graduated from Columbia University with a Master of Science in Social Work and earned a Master of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University where I also earned my PhD in Human Sexuality.

I have been an Adjunct Professor for SUNY Farmingdale and Widener University, teaching courses about sexuality, gender, and sexual orientation. I also often conduct workshops for mental health professionals at Long Island University-Post. I volunteer weekly at my local Unitarian Universalist Congregation teaching 9th grade Our Whole Lives comprehensive sexuality education.
