Books

I write for the same reason I practice therapy: to help people move beyond symptom and silence—and into connection, clarity, and erotic vitality.

Whether you’re a clinician, a coach/healer, a couple, or someone quietly wondering “Is this normal?”, my books offer frameworks, language, and insight to explore the unconscious life of sexuality - both in the consulting room and everyday life.
