I also support couples in creating a safe place to talk about their sexual relationship when there are sexual concerns.
Do you feel stuck and frustrated in your relationship? The more you try to talk, the more you get caught in cycles of distance, tension and frustration? Partners often come into therapy thinking to themselves: I can't get it right in this relationship. No matter how hard I try I seem to make things worse between us. Partner's also report feeling: I can't talk to my partner. They get too angry and defensive. Almost immediately we get stuck in blame and defensiveness. We feel so far apart and distant. Still other couples report feeling stuck is isolating silence and tension where talking about "us" is strained and avoided.

As a therapist specializing in relationships and sexual challenges, I believe there is so much power in vulnerability, especially when it comes to talking about sexual and relational concerns.
Walking through life and relationships is such a complex experience that naturally breeds unique challenges. I believe that we all need and deserve a space to reflect on how our experiences impact us as individuals and in our relationships. I take pride in creating a space free of judgment so that you can feel safe exploring your challenges and strengths with authenticity. Being vulnerable can be difficult.

Sex Therapy

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
