Sex Therapy in Lenox Hill, New York, NY

I specialize in working with both individuals who are struggling to manage anxiety & looking to improve self esteem; and couples who with concerns and/or changes in their sexual relationship. As a therapist, I often explore how the messaging we receive, based on our gender, shapes the expectations we have of ourselves & impacts the relationship we have with our body, ideas of health, sex, and self worth.

The counseling I provide is often focused on relationship conflicts, sex-related topics, gender identity, internal family systems, self-esteem issues, anxiety and depression. I often see clients who may want to make improvements to their confidence, relationships, or simply have a safe space to discuss everyday issues regarding their mental well-being.
