Lawrence I. Sank, Ph.D.

Bethesda, MD &Greater Washington Area

I combine the  application of the science of psychology with a compassionate, empathic approach to individuals and couples as they struggle with their problems in the area of sexual functioning and related difficulties. With over three decades in professional practice I bring to bear considerable professional experience and life experience and an unquenchable enthusiasm for my professional work with those in need.
