Intimacy is not just about sex. It's about feeling wanted, chosen, understood, and emotionally safe. It's about being able to show up as your authentic self and know that you will be met with acceptance, connection, and care. Yet for many people, intimacy becomes complicated. Maybe you find yourself lying next to your partner feeling miles apart. Maybe conversations turn into conflict, resentment has replaced affection, or physical touch feels more stressful than comforting. Perhaps you struggle with low desire, painful sex, mismatched libidos, betrayal, body image concerns, performance anxiety, or difficulty communicating.
At Sexual Health & Counseling Services, we help individuals and couples untangle the barriers that keep them feeling stuck, disconnected, or alone. Together, we create a space where shame loses its power, difficult conversations become possible, and deeper emotional and physical connection can emerge.
Our practice works with people of all ages, race, sex, and gender. Our style is warm, compassionate & collaborative, and we utilize an eclectic approach to treatment that focuses on each client. We are happy to answer any additional questions by phone or email. Additionally, we are happy to work through any concerns over the financial investment.

I work with clients who may be struggling with low sexual desire, sexual pain, and other sexual dysfunctions. During our initial intake, we will discuss "why" you are seeking treatment and talk about what you hope to get out of sessions together. Most of my clients note a sense of relief upon meeting together and start to feel understood and "not so alone." Looking forward to meeting you!
