Painful sex can affect so much more than intimacy. Whether you're experiencing vaginismus, vulvodynia, dyspareunia (pain with penetration), or changes after childbirth or menopause, you may find yourself feeling disconnected from your body, your sexuality, or your partner. As an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, I help women and couples across New York, Connecticut, and California navigate the emotional and relational impact of sexual pain.
My approach is holistic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. When sex has been painful, your body may begin to develop protective responses such as bracing, tensing, or anticipating pain. Together, we can gently explore these patterns and develop tools to help you feel safer, more at ease, and more connected to your body and sexuality.
I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable talking openly about experiences that can be difficult to share. Whether you're navigating sexual pain on your own or with a partner, you don't have to figure it out alone. I invite you to reach out with any questions or to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
