There is an underground river in you. Inside that river, there is life and wisdom, but you aren’t always sure how to access it. You need space to drop down and into whatever you feel. You need space to honor the layers of your life. You may not feel like you have access to your own wisdom, but you do. Even your sorrow, your anger and your fear are part of your wise heart, and you can trust what is inside of you— even the pain.

All care is offered through a sex-positive, affirming lens.
You may appear capable and composed on the outside, yet inside feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or quietly unfulfilled. Often the barriers to happiness aren’t loud crises, but subtle aches, emotional fatigue, and a sense that something meaningful is missing. You want relief, clarity, and deeper connection, with yourself and with others. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, breathe, and take an intentional pause so healing can begin.

As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for.

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.
