You know how sex can start feeling like one more thing to cross off the "to do" list? It could be that you're not feeling fully understood sexually. Or it could be that there are underlying issues in the relationship that are making you not interested. Either way, you're feeling stuck . . . despite the fact that you've probably been to therapy before and are actually a pretty decent communicator. But not to fear! By helping you figure out what to focus on (it's sometimes surprising!) and in what order, I help people in committed relationships to feel close again and get their passion back.
I love working with clients who are ENM, kinky, sex workers, LGBTQ+ and helping them find their authentic path! I offer both hourly sessions & coaching packages. I also have an intern offering low fee sessions for individuals. NOTE: I am not in network with any insurance plans, but I have an intern offering low-fee coaching sessions for $75.
If you're ready to get unstuck and have great sex and real intimacy, reach out to request a free "Intimacy Breakthrough Call" so we can see if it's a fit! We'll cover your challenges & goals and my advice for helping you achieve those. Also check out the photo gallery here, my Ask A Sex Therapist podcast and my website for more about working together.
