​​You've been experiencing sexual issues recently or maybe for some time. You may be experiencing erectile difficulties or pain during sex.

You're ready for a more fulfilled sex life. And most of all, you’re ready to feel more connected in your sexuality!

Sex and relationship therapy is a passion of mine, as I feel that consent and open communication are vital to healthy relationships and sense of self.
Relationships are vital to our existence, but sometimes we struggle to connect with ourselves and others in a way that supports our values and sustains the relationships that bring love, success, and connection into our lives. Whether you are struggling to connect with a romantic partner, or you've become so debilitated by anxious, self-defeating thoughts that social interaction feels impossible, I believe you have the power within you to change the way you connect to yourself and others. If sexual, emotional, or other barriers are stopping you from living the life you want, let me help you harness your inner strength.

In my sex therapy specialty, I have experience with desire mismatch, sexual trauma, compulsive sexual behaviors and porn use, ED and premature ejaculation, low libido, asexuality, kink, and more.
I see individuals and relationships primarily working through issues of identity, anxiety, sexuality, body image, depression, and relationship difficulties. My approach is warm and caring, but straightforward when necessary. I work through an attachment lens, as the research shows that our relationships with our early caregivers can inform how we attach to those we love as adults. This means we may not only explore your current hurt, but the root of where that pain comes from. I help my clients become more comfortable accessing and learning from their emotions, experiences, and body's signals.

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.
