Are you touching & being touched the way you want?

Are you giving and receiving to your fullest, emotionally and sexually?

Working with me is not just about problems that need to be fixed: it’s about growth and moving towards what you want in relationship, what your heart desires...

Who I Am

What do the letters after my name mean?

• M.A. I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology
• Ph.D. I have a PhD in Clinical Sexology
• A.C.S. I am certified by the American College of Sexologists, which is the oldest certifying organization for Clinical Sexologists, based on education and training.
• Board Certified by the American Board of Sexology (www.sexologist.org), which sets standards and maintains quality assurance based on academic achievement, dedication to the discipline and evidence of competence.

What I do is counseling with people around relationship and sexual issues. I do not do ‘hands-on’ work.

Even the most happy, secure, and mature people sometimes struggle with issues around sex and relationship. These are partly inherited from the sexual confusion and sexual negativity that are so much a part of American cultural history and because intimate relationship is such an important part of our lives.

As a Clinical Sexologist, I help people find out what their sexual issues are really about and how they reflect the challenges of intimate relationship. Seeking help from a professional shows courage and a willingness to reveal one's self. You do not need to be in a relationship to benefit from talking with me. In fact, a better understanding and acceptance of your sexuality can only enrich your current or future relationships. Relationships and sexuality are closely intertwined, one affecting the other. Even if your sex life is satisfactory, we can explore the areas of your relationship which can be deepened and made richer.

I will treat you with respect and compassion, and honor your confidentiality. I will not judge your lifestyle choices nor your values; I will assist you in integrating these in a way which is fulfilling to you.

I work with individuals and couples who have a variety of sexual and non-sexual issues. I am available for face to face and phone sessions. We will decide together the frequency and duration of sessions; you are ultimately in charge.

I guarantee that I will:

• Encourage you to come from the best in yourself
• Challenge you to confront existing beliefs and behaviours that don't support your goal
• Support you to make the necessary changes that do
• Help you understand why you have the problems you have, and how to change that.

Ask yourself: What might be the cost of not working with me?

SIX is my real name. I was born and raised in France, and I speak French fluently.

Why I became a Clinical Sexologist:

My gift is my love of relationship – whatever form that takes – and my comfort with sexuality.

People often ask me why I chose this profession. I feel that it is my calling; it is how I view the world. Shoe salesmen notice people's shoes; hairstylists notice people's hairstyles. For longer than I can remember, I have been aware of and tried to understand people's sexuality and ways of relating. These affect everyone's life, whether we are currently in a sexual relationship with one other person, with several people, or just with ourself; whether we are engaging in sexual behavior, or wishing we were, or consciously choosing not to.

It seems to me a huge contradiction that one can have one's mouth on someone's body and not be able to talk to them about it. I'm lucky in that I find it easy to talk about. I don't remember my 'birds and the bees' lecture, because my parents gave me that information when I was so young. They decided to answer my questions when I asked them; I started asking questions very early on, and continue to this day.
