Working with me as a Relationship, Life Transition, and Sex Therapist, you can gain clarity, confidence, and happiness in your life and relationship and in intimacy.
At the heart of every life struggle are blind spots and unconscious patterns that play out in our relationships with ourselves and others and in our attitude toward change. I believe that these crossroads offer an opportunity for self-empowerment and growth. With the right tools, strategies and perspective, you will be able to navigate healthy changes and evolve towards your happier and more fulfilling life. You may be feeling confused, stressed, frustrated, anxious, or even ashamed of what's going on for you right now. Whatever it is, I want you to know that you're in a safe space here, and I'm here to help you work through it.

Regarded by my colleagues as "a pioneer in multicultural sex and relationship therapy," I help couples understand each other on many levels - family obligations, cultural expectations, religious pressure, sexual interests, etc - so that they can avoid many pitfalls along the journey toward matrimonial bliss.
In our multicultural society many people are attracted to those of different backgrounds. Their accent, exotic appearance, or unfamiliar relationship style are often irresistible. But the very things that attract can also create problems. Multicultural romance often ends in heartbreak. In our sessions, my clients and I work as a team to appreciate the challenges and to resolve them. The goal of therapy is for singles and couples to make their relationship with their partner the best that it can be.

Sex Therapy Counsellors

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
