Sex is a normal, necessary part of human existence. Ideally, sex makes us feel happy, loved, and connected. Yet many people experience problems with sex including pain, lack of desire, or an inability to reach orgasm. Have you avoided talking to a sex therapist because you are afraid they’ll judge you? I will never judge you. Nothing you say is going to shock me, scare me, or make me stop working with you. Have you ever had a sexual encounter that was other than consentual but you didn't know who to talk to or even what to say about it? If so, I can help you work through your thoughts and feelings about sex and sexual experiences
How would you feel if I could help you understand and explain your behaviors and preferences or why you experience problems or feel shame? How would it feel to hear “you’re normal, your behaviors are normal, your desires are healthy, your sexual or gender identity is normal, you’re not broken, there is nothing wrong with who you are and what you like."
I provide sex positive nonjudgmental sex therapy. I offer a safe space to talk about everything including sex, sexuality, kink, nonmonogamy, and gender identity. I work with all types of individuals and relationship groups. I have presented at conferences on Sex After Sexual Abuse, Nonconsensual or Undesired Sexual Experiences, BDSM, and LGBTQ+ clients.
