Something isn't working. Maybe it's been building quietly for years — the distance between you and your partner, the tension around intimacy, the conversations you can't seem to have. Maybe it's more acute: a betrayal, a crisis, a realization that something fundamental needs to change.
You've been managing it on your own. People in your position usually do. But this one doesn't respond to the strategies that work everywhere else in your life.
I'm Dr. Luz Alanis, a Doctor of Sexology and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience specializing in complex sexual health, intimacy, and relational dynamics.

Sometimes we aren't taught how or perhaps it has not been safe to process our emotions. But they will come out, sometimes sideways. After years of stuffing, ignoring, avoiding, distracting and dissociating from our emotions, we may start to feel them in our bodies: anxiety, depression, physical pain...our bodies are calling us to pay attention, to heal. Healing is possible. You’re not alone. I work with people recovering from childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and narcissistic relationships.
You inherently have the resilience to heal. I honor your journey, focusing on your intrinsic capacity for growth, healing, and transformation.

Do you feel like you're constantly fighting an internal battle—between holding it all together and wanting to just let it all fall apart? Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel emotionally overwhelmed on the inside. You might struggle with perfectionism, burnout, emotional ups and downs, or a persistent sense of disconnection. Even when you’ve built a life that “should” make you happy, it can still feel like something is missing—or like you’re faking it just to get through the day. This inner conflict can take a real toll on your relationships, your goals, and your self-worth.

I have a passion for helping people create, and live their best lives. I believe that each person has the ability to determine what is best for themselves but sometimes that ability needs a facilitator, and that is where I come in. My job is not to tell you what to do, but to listen and together we can come up with your own unique solutions. My passion for helping people led me to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado and a Master's degree in Counseling from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. I look forward to helping you live life to its fullest.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.
How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
