I offer individual and relationship counseling focused on sex, pleasure, relationships, open or poly relationship, and sexual fantasy.
Shame, guilt, hiding from those around you or who you really are? Are you tired of living a lie? Are you tired of constantly feeling like you can’t be your most authentic self? Do you feel as though you ruin or sabotage all your close relationships? All the while you are feeling low self esteem, less than genuine, or are just plain tired from hiding. Not only are you welcome, but you will find quick relief of finally feeling understood with me.

My goal as a therapist is to help you create a fulfilling and pleasurable sex and intimate relationship. What that means or how that looks is unique to each individual and couple. Sometimes, other things come up when we're talking about sex too! We each change as we age and grow in relationship or solo. I also hold space for the grief that we each individually or together experience for what we expected sex would look like or how things used to be. I work to improve communication via attachment work and redefine what works for you/the relationship. I bring laughter, safety and nonjudgement to each of my clients in our work together.

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.
