Let me support you by teletherapy/phone sessions during this COVID-19 crisis. Facing challenges around trauma, intimacy, sexuality, gender, and sexual orientation can be the most intimate challenges of our lives, about which we're afraid of being misunderstood and judged. I'll help you using methods specific to your needs, situation, and comfort level (which never involve any nudity, touching, or sexual behavior). I'll help you feel empowered, achieve healing, reclaim intimacy, and improve quality of life. We'll work together, at your pace, in a relaxed, non-judgmental, private setting. My office is a safe, LGBTQ affirming space.
Sex therapy is simply talk therapy. The key is the non-judgmental therapeutic relationship between you and me wherein you feel safe discussing things that you've never been able to talk to anyone else about. If needed, I also utilize a technique called Brainspotting, a brain-based methodology, to achieve maximum results quickly and efficiently with trauma.
Sexuality is complex and intricately interwoven with every part of our life. It is an integral part of our humanity and important for us to heal our wounds. I enjoy delicately, discreetly, and nonjudgmentally helping you, and it's a privilege to witness and be part of your journey. Take the first step and call or email, and I'll be here, ready to help.
