CMRA loves having Dr. Ruth as a neighbor

You can't blame the staff at Capital Market Risk Advisors Inc. — or visiting clients — for having sex on the brain. Dr. Ruth — yes, that Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer — has her office within the office suite of CMRA, a risk advisory and financial-litigation support firm.

In fact, a reception to celebrate CMRA's 20th anniversary and its move to its new office is being hosted jointly by Leslie Rahl and Peter Niculescu, CMRA managing partners, and Dr. Ruth, according to the invitation. Dr. Ruth — a psychosexual therapist, professor and author — is the featured speaker at the May 18 celebration in the new office.

What will she say at the event?

“Whoever is going to bring any business to Leslie's office is going to have good sex for the rest of their life,” Dr. Ruth said, previewing her talk. “Let's toast to 20 years of Leslie's career and to her magnificent business and new office.

“My obligation to them is to make them laugh and to fundraise for Leslie's charity involvement,” Dr. Ruth said.

The two women met at a book fair in New York City about three years ago when Dr. Ruth happened to be looking for office space. “She is truly a delight and we give her office space” rent free “in exchange for her making us laugh and allowing us to auction her off for charity a few times a year.” Ms. Rahl said. “She has become a friend ... We've learned a lot from her about positive thinking.”
