Sex is a normal, healthy part of human existence yet many people experience problems with sex including pain, lack of desire/arousal, sexual aversion, or an inability to reach orgasm believe it or not therapy can help with all of that. Have you been avoiding 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 off, or make me stop working with you. How would it feel to hear “you’re normal, your behaviors are normal, your desires are healthy, you’re not broken, there is nothing wrong with who you are and what you like." Interested? Email me today
Do you have religious, familial, or societal beliefs about sex that affect your ability to have sex or experience pleasure? If so deconstructing those beliefs is one of my specialties. How would you feel if I could help you understand why your body responds the way it does and explain your behaviors and preferences all while validating your experience?
I provide a safe space to talk about anything related to gender identity, sex, sexuality, purity culture, kink, nonmonogamy, porn use, out of control sexual behavior, mismatched sexual desire or kink preferences. I have presented at conferences on Sex After Sexual Abuse, Normalizing BDSM, Religion and Sex, Porn and Relationships, and on LGBTQ+ clients.
