Sex Therapy in Milwaukee, WI

A queer and anti-patriarchal therapist, I practice sex therapy , individual therapy, and couples therapy in southeastern Wisconsin. I help clients ages 16-70 with issues in individual mental health, sex and sexuality , relationships, and family dynamics. Using a radically body- and sex -positive approach, I help people with sexual concerns including sexual pain, desire and arousal issues, out of control sexual behavior, difficulty with orgasm, healthy sex after trauma, polyamory, swinging, kink, gender & orientation discovery. Cultural humility and racial justice are very important to me. Health at Every Size aligned.

I believe it is my role as a therapist to help support you in facilitating change in a nonjudgmental environment that offers accountability. We are a therapeutic team - you being the expert of your own experience and me being a sounding board for thoughts, feelings, and emotions. My therapeutic approach combines person centered therapy with aspects of cognitive behavioral (CBT), solutions focused, and dialectical-behavioral (DBT) therapies. This means we will implement skills for emotion regulation, communication, and facing anxiety while also making space to talk about your experiences.

The therapeutic relationship can be a very important one and, like any other healthy relationship, it is based on mutual respect, trust and commitment. I approach our work together with a nonjudgmental stance. I will meet you wherever you are in your life's journey and honor your unique strengths. I support clients in creating their most fulfilling lives, in line with their values and goals. I incorporate mindfulness into a collaborative and client-centered process and employ an honest, direct communication style combined with warmth, compassion, and humor. I strive for a balance of embracing both change and acceptance.

As a clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist, my specialty is sex and marital therapy. In my practice I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing a variety of sexual problems. These include orgasmic dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual pain disorders, vaginismus, lack of interest in sex , and sexual addictions. I also do general marital therapy and general psychotherapy.

Therapy is a place for you to name areas of pain, a place to feel without judgment, and a place to reclaim what is yours. Shame is the source of so much of this pain and judgment, convincing you that you are broken. Shame is often so intertwined with sexuality because of the societal silence around the topic. Perhaps sex is painful, perhaps you are more aware of others desires than your own, perhaps you feel empty from running on fumes and enjoyment is the last thing on your mind. Whatever the reason, engaging your sexual health can help overall wellness, and ultimately be the way back into relationship with yourself!

I believe that there is something positive to find in all situations. Therapy should be a positive step to change in life and I believe all clients have the power of change within them. I will help you or your loved one to find that power within and make positive changes in your life. I am a Substance Abuse Professional and I am certified to perform DOT assessments for positive alcohol and drug tests. I provide counseling for any type of addiction (heroin, alcohol, sex , Internet) in a non-judgmental manner.

And while others acknowledge your pain, no one seems to be able to give you the tools you need to heal and reconnect. Feeling like roommates and your love language is conflict?
