Sex shouldn’t feel stressful, painful, or disconnected. Are you struggling with intimacy, desire, sexual dysfunction, or painful sex? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide sex-positive, affirming therapy for individuals and couples who want to improve sexual connection, confidence, and satisfaction. As one of the select few AASECT-certified sex therapists practicing in IL & NY, I offer specialized, evidence-based care in a warm, nonjudgmental space. We address desire discrepancies, loss of intimacy, sexual anxiety, and challenges with pleasure. I also specialize in helping women find relief from sexual pain and pelvic pain
As a certified sex therapist, I support clients in moving from confusion or frustration to confidence & connection. Together, we build practical skills, explore helpful education, & address sexual dysfunction using a biopsychosocial approach. When appropriate, I help you get connected & collaborate with medical providers to support lasting, whole-person care
Seeking help for sexual concerns can feel vulnerable, but it’s also an act of self-care & empowerment. You deserve understanding, support, & solutions tailored to your needs. If you’re ready to improve connection, confidence, or find relief, I invite you to reach out & begin building a more fulfilling, satisfying sex life.

Groups
Flourishing Affinity Counseling Men's Group
This group starts Monday September 2nd 2024 virtually for 6 weeks. Hosted by Nicolas Kertesz* "As men, we can tend to struggle with opening up to others about our feelings. When we do, we can often feel uncertain as to how to express ourselves or we worry we might be met with ridicule. This group will be an affirming environment for any man/male-identifying person looking to find better ways to express themselves. We will examine these negative stereotypes of masculinity and discover more helpful positive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to replace them."
