Every person has the ability to live the life they want. As your coach, I will work with you to reach levels of fulfillment that you have not been able to reach or maintain on your own. Whether you seek success, happiness, reduction in clutter or expansion of possibilities, my role is to assist you in defining your goals, creating the framework to reach those goals, and working with you to make them reality. With focus, commitment, and open communication, where you are now will move to where you want to be in a manageable, effortless way. Each one of my clients is a unique, whole individual and I give each of you an experience that matches who you are.

I have experience working with the bisexual and polyamory communities. I am committed as a person to be part of a community of people that respect and love their lives. My role is to create partnership with you to assist you in discovering what you want, and working with you in measurable steps to get there. After working as a public speaker and with over a decade of experience working in the technology field, I realized my greater benefit to my community and to the world was to assist people through individual transformation.

I work with clients individually on the telephone or in person. I am available to for speeches and presentations to groups. The majority of my coaching is done by telephonic sessions available to clients worldwide. I do see some clients in person in Contra Costa County only.

I work as a sex coach and sex educator, particularly with women, older people, fat people, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender and intersex people, and those living with disabilities. I work with a wide range of communities including those in intentional spiritual communities or practices, those identifying as polyamorous (loving more than one, openly & honestly) and those with BDSM/leather affinities. My sex coaching services -- patterned after Dodson (www.bettydodson.com) and Kramer (www.erospirit.org) -- help you improve your self-pleasuring capacity and use that capacity to empower your whole life.

I also offer a variety of speechs and workshops (see website) and am available for guest teaching and guest lecturing. My self-published doctoral dissertation on contempoary U.S. sacred sexualities is available through my website, which also includes other samples of my writings, including the much-beloved 1991 anthology, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out, named one of the top 100 queer books of the last century, which I co-edited with Lani Ka-ahumanu.

Clinical Social Worker; personal and corporate coach with Arena Group Coaching & Consulting; consultant; producer of the longest-running and largest psychology-in-film series in the nation, http://www.psychologygoestothemovies.org, and teacher of film and pop culture theory. Also, disability activist, currently Chair of the City of Cambridge Commission for People with Disabilities.

As a therapist, I provide individual, couple and family psychotherapy to people of all ages, cultures and nationalities; of all gender and sexual expressions; and to people with disabilities of any kind. My current case load includes Asian, African-American, and West Indian clients as well as European and Celtic descendants; and includes bi and gay men, lesbians and bi women, poly individuals and couples, cross-dressers and those in the BDSM D/S scene (see below) I work in English. I understand West Indian. My secondary office is fully accessible, but I do not have ASL or TTY. I will work with any level of trouble of mental illness, including people diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, psychotic illnesses, Aspergers (autism), epilepsy, etc. I also provide consultation of all kinds in psychiatry and therapy issues, second opinions, diagnostic aid, etc. I work as covering senior clinician for many Cambridge therapists when they are away. Some special areas of experience include: ADD & ADHD; Evaluating and supporting people (including children and adolescents) with gender concerns, cross-dressing, and those seeking complete gender realignment or correction (I am an approved provider in this speciality). I work with artists, actors, performers, writers, poets, and other creatives. I do pre-marital counseling upon request for couples with differences in race, class or culture; or for couples in which one partner has a significant disability.

As a coach, I work with *anyone who has a goal* they are determined and committed to achieve. I coach physicians; I coach for ICI, a program for women with disabilities seeking employment or career development; I coach novelists, screenwriters, contruction workers, nurses, etc. The Arena Method® is used by coaches in my firm and has proven very dynamic -- it teaches clients *how to want something* in the way that ensures getting it. Fees for coaching are structured differently from most professional fees, but are roughly similar to therapy costs overall. Clients contract initially for 90 days, usually including one 30-minute phone meeting per week (clients may be in any part of the world) and weekly structured tasks. Different service packages provide additional supports according to each plan. For the client, coaching requires guts and is a more strenuous course than being in therapy; it also works faster to structure current goals.
