I hold a doctorate in counseling psychology from Boston University with master's specializations in counseling women and cross-cultural counseling. I am the author of Women's Sexuality After Childhood Incest, Responding to Incest: In Memory of Nancy, and a number of published articles on trauma and recovery.
