I was Interviewed for a Date Rape Article on Giddy

I was honored to be quoted recently in an article on date rape for Giddy, the world’s largest sexual health platform. The article was entitled “The Controversial and Confusing Crime of Date Rape,” an all too common experience, especially for women. The article offers perspectives from survivors and hope for healing – working through shame with self-compassion, a subject that I am a big fan of! The article is free to view though registration is required.

For the safety of my clients and my community I have decided to move all sessions to Telehealth for the time being. I have been using Google Meet, which is HIPAA compliant, for the past few years for online sessions and it has worked well. Please contact me with any questions around how this would work.
