My website
In my sex therapy practice, I provide compassionate, evidence-informed sex therapy for individuals and couples (monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships) navigating intimacy conversations, desire differences, arousal challenges, pain, and sexual wellbeing. My approach integrates emotional, relational, and physiological perspectives to support clients in understanding and deepening their connection to self and partner. I approach sexuality through a sex-positive and inclusive lens, creating space for safe and open exploration.
My therapy services person-centered and I practice from a trauma informed and culturally sensitive lens. I am a Certified Sex Therapist, and trained in compassion focused therapy (CFT), Gottman couples therapy, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to support individuals and couples in therapy.
I am committed to listen and support compassionately and with acceptance, and welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures, identities, and experiences. I look forward to connecting with you, Janet
