Sex Therapists in Lumberton, NC

I enjoy working with many individuals. My specialty is sex therapy. I am passionate about helping those who have low sexual arousal disorder or who have erectile dysfunction disorder. I can provide Christian-focused counseling at the client's consent. I also enjoy helping individuals manage their anxiety as well as their obsessions and compulsions.

I believe pleasure and intimacy are key components to realizing your own worth. Whether you are looking to connect more deeply to yourself, a partner, or a community, I am here to reflect your own capacity for joy and fulfillment back to you. Therapy is about connection, and I bring my openness, curiosity, and sense of humor into my sessions. I use a blend of techniques from emotionally-focused therapy, somatic psychotherapy, sex therapy, and yoga to work with both individuals and partners.

Currently Only Accepting Individual Clients: Whether you are 20 or 90 years old, single, heterosexual, or in a same-sex partnership, wanting and needing connection is a healthy thing. After all, intimacy is not just about sex. It is about feeling connected to your partner through sensual touch and the simplicities of hugs, kisses, compliments, being and feeling desired, and affirmed. Our work together will be to improve communication and to increase those interactions that help you be seen, whole, and known. With clarity and healing, you will increase your connection, intimacy, and healthier sexual interactions with your partner.

To mindfully awaken is to become conscious in the here and now while integrating all of our experiences before this moment in time. This practice of living courageously, authentically, with non-judgmental awareness, while embracing our worthiness, helps us live a fuller life. Specializing in somatic psychotherapy with adults, my therapeutic approach draws from Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, DBT-informed therapy, as well as the research of Brené Brown.

“You are perfect the way you are and you can always grow and do better” This statement is central to my approach and the kind of space I create for my clients. Life can be challenging, overwhelming, and stressful, but self-acceptance and self-love free us to build the skills we need to cope with relationships, family, work, and life. This journey is not easy. It requires self-reflection, awareness, exploration of thoughts and feelings, and a willingness to change. As a therapist, I believe that our mental health, sex life, and relationships are all interconnected and approach therapy from a holistic perspective.

My mission in therapy is to hold space where positive change can happen, hope can flourish, and relationships can thrive. I encourage clients to explore their roots and worldview and identify areas for growth and healing. Clients can expect that each of their sessions with me will be an experience where they can safely share and edit their story so that they can find the freedom to live the life they truly want. I am passionate about assisting clients with: anxiety, attachment wounds, trauma, sex & intimacy, depression, relationship issues, infidelity & affairs, pre-marital counseling, and family functioning & dynamics.

In my clinical practice, I work with adults regarding a wide range of life's emotional and behavioral challenges, and provide services in the areas of trauma, attachment, sex addiction, love addiction, internet and pornography addiction, sex therapy, couples therapy, problematic compulsive behaviors, grief/loss, and more.

Finding a therapist that you connect with and feel understood by is an integral part of therapy. I help people work towards improved connection within themselves, their relationships, and their sexuality. At times we may struggle to communicate and connect with our partners, experience a lack of passion and romance, or have difficulty managing life struggles, distressing events, or conflict in our relationships. Therapy can be a chance to rediscover yourself, your relationships, and heal from painful life experiences while exploring new skills and resources to grow and develop increased relationship and life satisfaction.

As an anti-racist, intersectional feminist, I believe in the constant and ever evolving pursuit of social, racial, gender, sexual, economic, and environmental justice. My goal in working with my clients is to address their concerns as a co-collaborator and ally.

I take an eclectic approach to counseling utilizing interventions from various theories in order to best serve the needs of the individual, couple, and family.

My clients may struggle with trauma; relationships and intimacy; sexuality; gender, or other identity exploration. More concretely, their therapeutic work might mean develop deeper connections with friends and intimate partners, learning how to process feelings of shame resulting from harm done to or by someone, or exploring self-expression within and outside of social roles. I am deeply passionate about creating and maintaining a space for people to align with their most authentic selves, especially while navigating the often accompanying grief, and celebrating the empowerment that we are sure to find along the way.

It can be scary to be honest with oneself, let alone with others. Yet, most of us still desire to be seen, loved, and accepted. I work with people curious about how their childhood, cultural background(s), identities, and trauma influence how they relate to themselves, family, lovers, friends, and authority figures. My work centers on anti-racism and the lived experiences of folks who are Queer, Transgender, Polyamourous, or Kinky. I enjoy working with people outside of these identities as well. Modalities I utilize are Relationship Analysis, EMDR, Parts Work, Psychodynamic Techniques, and Sex Therapy.
