They never did (not without lasting, serious, negative side effects). And our world is suffering because of this; we need a powerful, positive and sustainable transformation.

I've spoken on IT, project and program management, and cyber security issues at international conferences in North America, Europe, and the Middle East since 1994, drawing from decades of experience in working in complex and cutting-edge organizations. I've had the good fortune to be involved in numerous transformations: from analog telephony to digital networks to software development; from waterfall project management to complex and agile program management; from the early days of information warfare to the emergence of cyberspace as a domain of operations. In all of these, I've been able to dive into the nitty-gritty details and switch to helping people make sense of things from the outside and from the 10,000-meter view.

People always ask – Why Sex Therapy? How did you begin this path? I was always observant of relationships. I enjoyed watching how people interacted with one another, noticing people’s reactions and how they responded to certain verbal and non-verbal cues. As I got older and watched people pair off into romantic relationships, I grew a fascination for understanding the intricate details of their love, infatuation and lust. What made certain relationships work and what drew people together? That was the question that stuck with me. Not only did I want to better understand intimacy and sexuality, but I grew to value healthy relationships and yearned to help people truly understand each other and the role they play within their partnership. It is an incredible feeling when I help individuals discover their own sexual identity or when I help enhance emotional and physical intimacy for a couple. Living in New York, I realized that it is easy to become distracted by the competitive nature of society, and the need to succeed professionally and financially. In order to excel, we become attached to our devices, bringing home our work. If work is not the priority, there is a habit of zoning out on social media or scrolling articles on our smartphone browser. In sessions and in my personal life, I saw how this inevitably impacted intimacy in relationships. Our dedication and focus is anywhere but the relationship that matters most. My mission is to continue researching this phenomenon and to help individuals and couples be more present in their day-to-day lives. To learn about their own needs and to communicate them with the people that matter. If I succeed in that, then I know my clients will live more fulfilling lives. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey.
