Welcome and Introduction

I am a licensed Pharmacist and graduated from University of Rhode Island in 2008. I became a Certified Sex Therapist through the Sex Therapy Institute of Florida in West Palm Beach in 2015.

I know that sounds like an odd combination!

I have always been passionate about sexual health and women’s wellness. When I was in pharmacy school, I wanted to make some extra money to offset my student debt. I ended up selling home novelty products, aka “sex toys” with a RI-based company called Athena’s Home Novelties. I did home parties and the women would want to talk more about their sex lives, relationships, and overall sexual health.

From there I felt like I was on to something. Why not help these women more? I was already offering a great way for them to practice “self-love” or enhance sexual experiences with their partners.

Fast forward- I finished pharmacy school and ended up working in compounding pharmacy for several years. I was the pharmacy manager for many facilities where the bulk of what we “made” or compounded was hormone replacement therapy and erectile dysfunction medicines. I consulted with many prescribers and clinics who specialized in bio-identical hormones. This gave me an even greater understanding of the clinical aspects behind sexual health. 

I have been able to combine my pharmacy background and training with sex therapy to help patients with their overall sexual well-being. 

Sometimes there may be a sexual roadblock due to a medication someone is taking. Other times it may be on a mental/emotional level. Maybe a sex toy can be the solution to spicing up a relationship in the bedroom.

I can help with all of that!
