Painful sex, whether from vaginismus, vulvodynia, dyspareunia (pain with penetration), or changes after childbirth or menopause, can leave you feeling disconnected from your body and your partner. As an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and licensed psychotherapist, I help women and couples across New York, Connecticut, and California heal the emotional and relational impact of sexual pain. Together, we'll rebuild safety, trust, and intimacy without shame or self-blame.
My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, addressing the emotional and physical aspects of sexual pain. Together, we'll build coping strategies, strengthen communication, and explore patterns contributing to pain or disconnection. I collaborate with pelvic floor physical therapists and other healthcare providers to support comprehensive care.
I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. Whether you're navigating sexual pain on your own or with a partner, you don't have to do it alone. I invite you to reach out with any questions or to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation.
