You thought sex was supposed to bring you closer, but lately, it feels like a source of tension, not connection. You’ve tried to talk about it, fix it (podcasts, books, blogs etc), even ignore it, but nothing seems to help. Maybe desire has faded, or you never really felt comfortable talking about sex to begin with. Trauma, your own or what was passed down, lives in your body, your relationships, your responses. You're tired of feeling broken, disconnected, or “too much.” You want to feel safe in your skin, express your needs, and connect without fear. You don’t want to give up. Something has to change, and you're ready.
I'm an AASECT certified sex therapist who specializes in supporting individuals whose sexuality has been negatively impacted by religious trauma, cultural expectations, betrayal, low self-esteem, anxiety, or negative body image. I understand that these issues are not just about sex itself. They are about reclaiming your sense of self and your confidence.
This is your journey, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time. Let’s work together to break free from the barriers that have been keeping you from the intimacy and sexual well being you deserve. I invite you to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation and begin today! I offer sessions and consultations Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm ET.
