Growing up, sex wasn’t a taboo topic in my home. My father, who worked as an obstetrician and gynecologist, and progressive mother taught me that my body and my sexuality were nothing to be ashamed of. But as I got older, I realized that many of my peers were raised with different values and had anxieties surrounding sex and relationships. I was the one they came to for advice on these topics, and this began my journey into sex therapy.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked with individuals and couples to overcome relationship and sexual hurdles so they can enjoy more meaningful lives. Although the work is challenging, it’s also incredibly rewarding. Helping someone overcome sexual trauma, learning that a couple previously unable to have intercourse due to pain is now expecting their first child, and bringing a couple closer together following relationship betrayal are all aspects of my work that make me so proud of what I do.

Through my travels around the world, I’ve noticed that people in developing countries seem to find happiness and meaning in a way that many of my clients couldn’t, despite their abundance of resources. Inspired, I began guiding my clients toward new ways of finding meaning in their lives and relationships.

On top of my clinical work, I do as much writing and speaking as I can to share what I know with the world. I believe that by fostering greater connection and passion, we can find greater authenticity, deeper meaning, and optimal joy in our lives. I’m so excited to be part of Flo’s medical board to share my knowledge on sex and relationships with people of all ages.

The greatest joy in my life is my family. I’m happily married with two children.
