About me...
I have been providing therapy in one form or another for 14 years now, and on occasion, teach Human Sexuality and Pastoral Practice at the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. I also offer workshops in various locations on topics ranging from adult sexuality to professional ethics to boundaries for spiritual teachers.
