There are many different types of “sucker punches” that can cause people to seek counseling. It might be an accident, serious illness or a return from deployment that has set your world off-kilter. It might be a
partner
who told you he doesn’t love you any more, or it could even be you with that feeling. It may just be the accumulation of anxiety that has you thinking there has got to be a better way. There is hope!

If you want to better understand and appreciate yourself as a sexual being, challenge unhelpful thoughts, improve communication with your
partner
(s), be more present during sex, and explore new ways of experiencing pleasure, then you're in the right place.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could more fully enjoy sex without worrying about how your body looks, feels, smells, or if it will (or won't) function "properly?" While most people want to have more enjoyable sex, many don't know where to start. It can be difficult to navigate the complexities of sex, desire, pleasure, and relationships without trained professional help. That's where I come in: I help adults enjoy better sex! My specialty areas include exploring sexuality, performance anxiety, desire discrepancy, porn use, exploring kinks/BDSM, non-monogamy, relationship communication, and overcoming unhelpful distractions during sex.

Everyone is destined to experience stress, loneliness, loss, illness, pain, self-defeating choices, uncertainty, relationship or work problems. Sometimes it's hard to know when to ask for help. Seeking therapy does not mean there is something wrong with us. Many individuals are concerned about getting labeled with a mental illness because they are struggling with life issues, traumatic events or troubled families. I am less interested in finding labels, and more interested in working with you to better understand your struggles and help you develop more successful coping techniques.
