Therapy that takes your sexual behavior seriously without reducing you to a diagnosis. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and an AASECT-certified sex therapist, and I work online across New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Florida with people whose porn use, hookups, apps, or affairs feel like they’ve gotten away from them.

Many people arrive describing it as sex addiction, and I’m comfortable using whatever language helps you. Clinically, though, I work from the out-of-control sexual behavior (OCSB) model rather than an addiction model. Instead of starting with how to stop, we start with what the behavior does for you and what you want your sexual life to look like.

What I treat: porn use that feels compulsive or secretive, repeated hookups or app use you regret, affairs or a hidden sexual life, sexual behavior that conflicts with your religious or personal values, and the cycle of shame that follows each episode. I work with men and women, gay and straight, individually and with partners after a disclosure.

I hold an MSW from Yeshiva University, an MA in Trauma and Crisis Studies from Tel Aviv University, and certification in sex therapy through AASECT and the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our dog, Bernie.
