Sex Therapists in Marietta, GA
If you’re feeling stuck in patterns of disconnection—whether around sex, intimacy, past trauma, or constant miscommunication—I’m here to help you move toward healing, clarity, and connection.
I specialize in issues like low desire, painful sex, infidelity recovery, sexual trauma, and relationship transitions. With couples, I use the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and rebuild intimacy. With individuals, I use EMDR to help process old wounds that keep showing up in present-day relationships or body-based experiences.

My sex therapy work supports exploration of desire, identity, boundaries, and connection in a respectful, grounded, shame-free space.
If your life feels busy but unsteady, or you find yourself going through the motions while feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships, you are not alone. Therapy can be a place to pause, take a breath, and begin listening to what you actually need, not what you feel you should be doing.
Many people come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they are worn down by familiar patterns and ready for change that feels more intentional and balanced.

Helping clients move past sexual trauma to find satisfying sex lives is one of my passions.
My clients to walk away from our sessions with actionable items to work on. My theoretical orientation is a combination of Feminism (looking at the larger picture for things that might affect the individual or the couple - gender roles, gender expectations, societal expectations) and Solution-Focused (focusing on helping the issue right now).

Men, sex, & relationship issues are my specialization.
When I was younger and going through my personal issues, I often had caring people who I looked up to that I could talk to. I have always wanted to be that person for others. Thus, I have made this my career... helping others become the best versions of themselves.

Couples therapy can consist of troubles with communication, sex therapy concerns such as education, dysfunctions, lack of desire/interest, pain in sexual activity, medication side effects, and anxiety/depression related to sexual issues, post-affair recovery, and relationship conflict across the lifespan.
I work from a systems approach. I believe, we learn our roles and behaviors from our family members, some good and some not so good. When we can recognize and understand these behaviors, we can learn to create new ones that can become more beneficial to us.

I believe therapy helps us understand the power of the mind. This is especially useful when we feel disconnected, marginalized, or stigmatized. When we feel this way, learning how the mind channels this information through thoughts, feelings, emotions, and perceptions, can influence us to recognize our own cognitive processes and how they impact our life. If we attend to our cognitive processes in a healthy way, it may lead to regulation of mood, clarity, balance and feelings of peace. We start to evolve and accept certain things about ourselves. We begin to feel at peace from within. I help my clients through this process.

My area of interest and expertise lies in the sphere of relationships; in particular, the relationship one has with one's Self. I believe that this relationship, formed early in life, impacts one's ability to be fully present and engaged in relationships with spouses, partners, children, friends and colleagues. In a non-judgmental and compassionate environment, I strive to provide an atmosphere in which you can safely explore and work through feelings, thoughts, images and beliefs, conscious or unconscious, that may be keeping you stuck in repetitive patterns.

Each person’s physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and cultural experiences shape how they understand themselves and relate to others. In therapy, we explore these influences together, including early attachment, core beliefs, and protective patterns formed in childhood. I take a holistic, creative, and attachment-focused approach and provide an inclusive, affirming space for all identities. By exploring the past to better understand the present, and integrating experiential and inner-child work, I aim to support healing, insight, resilience, and more authentic connection in alignment with self-identified goals.

Sex Therapy Therapists
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.
