As a sex and relationship therapist with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I understand how difficult it can be to navigate these sensitive topics with yourself and with partners.
I specialize in working with individuals and partners experiencing difficulty with physical arousal or orgasm, performance anxiety or shame, sexual compulsivity/ sex addiction, desire discrepancy, and trauma. We also work together to understand other contributing factors, such as depression, anxiety, or life transitions such as grief or parenthood.

As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I've dedicated my career to providing expert knowledge and compassionate guidance to individuals and couples struggling with aspects of their sexuality, including shame, trauma, physical pain, and loss.
My greatest passion as a sex therapist is helping people who feel disconnected from pleasure and desire. Oftentimes, my clients experience low desire and/or pain with sex. To help them, I use an individualized approach where I integrate sex education and mindfulness with evidence-based methods such as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

Struggling with sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, erection, ejaculation or overall confidence with sex is common.
Many of the strategies I use are based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also believe our social identities (e.g., gender identity, race, religion) and upbringings can subconsciously impact the expectations we develop about sex. When those expectations cause harm, I help you build new, healthier narratives about sex.

In seeing a Certified Sex Therapist, some topics you might bring to therapy are low libido, erectile dysfunction, difficulty orgasming, exploring fantasies, communication with partners or low sexual confidence.
Your whole life has been to make others happy, shifting shape to be loved, included... or simply tolerated. It is so automatic to become what others need, that you never thought to stop and ask yourself what it is you really want, or like. But lately, something deeper is stirring. A tiny, cautious flicker that whispers: maybe it is possible to give yourself permission to yearn, without the all-too-familiar guilt. A fleeting thought that it's not selfish to want a life that's still you, just with the vivid knob turned up. Even if the path to it is super awkward, squarely out of your comfort zone and frankly, terrifying.

Life isn't always easy - especially right now. Even happy occasions can cause emotional stress and anxiety. Now more than ever, utilizing resources such as counseling can help you and those you care about navigate life's difficulties in a way that results in closeness and connection. As a therapist and as a human being, I believe we all need a safe and trust-worthy environment to work through our struggles and challenges. Without it, we can get stuck in negative patterns of communication/behaviors that lead to disconnection from the people and situations we value the most.

It is your right as a human being to have fruitful, loving, and supportive relationships with others, as well as with yourself.

I work with clients to understand what they need to feel safe enough to try new things, and make evidence-based, creative suggestions that reflect the authenticity of each person. Change can feel new and exciting, without feeling fake or forced.

Sex Therapy
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
