Therapy will address your
sexuality
, and work to identify and inspect the issues you face.
The longest relationship you’ve ever had is the one you have with yourself. Understanding who you are to your core is life’s greatest adventure. Identity and expression of that identity is what makes you, YOU.
Many people have never had the chance to dissect their desires and learn about their authentic selves. You may not be happy with the way you feel about your body, your gender or identity expression, or maybe you feel inexperienced and nervous about the topic of
sexuality
; There is room for all of these feelings to be explored.
Sexuality
is a spectrum, and all of the colors of the wheel are welcome and deserve therapy.

Our
sexuality
is at the core of who we are as humans, and where we came from – it is our life force. It’s also at the core of our own identity. So many of us are searching for who we truly are. We’re so encapsulated in who we should be being for others, that we end up losing ourselves. This shows up most frequently in intimate relationships. Our desire for unconditional love from another supersedes our need for physical connection. Emotion trumps
sexuality
. And what goes on within our mind shuts down the abilities of our body. Are you feeling lost in your relationship? Do you desire more sexually?

Sex and Couples Counseling Center
MA, CSC
The Center for
Sex
and Couples Counseling is dedicated in helping you solve and navigate dating,
sex
, and marriage.
It’s no mystery that
sex
, dating and relationships can get very challenging. Perhaps in your marriage you fight more than you get along. Maybe you stopped seeing the positives in your partner and only see the negatives. Sometimes parenting drives a wedge in your marriage and resentments build. It may be that your relationship became sexless or there has been infidelity and affairs. You may have ended up in a sexless marriage or haven’t yet learned how to date and be in a relationship. You know you want a fulfilling relationship or a
sexuality
that feels healthy for you, but you just don’t know how to get there.

A golfer never wants to quit on a bad shot, so he makes sure he keeps going until he has a good shot. The same goes for our lives, right? I help high achievers, those of us who are driven and ambitious, have the same kind of success in their personal life as they do their professional life. If someone doesn't have this completeness, the gains are lost and their stresses -- like
sex
/love addiction, anxious/avoidant attachment issues, codependency, male & female
sex
issues incl PIED, - start to undermine their success. My clients want outstanding results. So do I.

Issues addressed include depression, anxiety,
sexuality
, relationship concerns, childhood abuse, gay and lesbian issues, parenting, self-esteem, PTSD, trauma, addiction, and personal growth.
I have maintained a private practice in Beverly Hills or West Hollywood for 30 years, and I am an Associate Clinical Professor in the UCLA Psychology Department. I have found it helpful to be eclectic in my theoretical orientation, depending upon the personality of the client, the issues being discussed, and the client's own history of what has and has not been helpful. I integrate cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic elements in my approach to each client, always attempting to provide a safe and respectful environment in which clients can grow.

Sex Therapy
Sex therapists in Beverly Hills offer help with sexual concerns by educating, using talk therapy, offering homework exercises and resources for further exploration to either individuals or couples. Sex therapy helps couples talk about sex with each other. A sex therapist feels comfortable talking about sex and is aware of how anxious you might feel talking about this intimate subject with each other and with a near-stranger. They will help set you at ease and guide you into talking about sex. While sex therapists can help with many problems, low sexual desire and frequency disagreements between partners are two of the most frequent concerns they address.
