Sex therapy is a unique and specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals and/or couples address their concerns about sexuality, gender, sexual functioning and sexual expression. While sexual issues are commonly experienced, they frequently go unspoken in therapy as very often feelings of shame, guilt or stigma hold people back from getting the help they need.
Sex therapy addresses emotional issues underlying sexual problems and utilizes various techniques to cope with physical and psychological symptoms. I offer treatment for those who are experiencing concerns related to sex, looking to have a better relationship with sex or increase understanding about their sexuality.

The first session will include information gathering. During future sessions we will explore your worries, feelings, ideas and thoughts about sex, intimacy, relationships and sexual functioning as well as how different factors such as family history, background and culture have impacted your sexuality. Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy and never involves sexual contact between me and the client. You will receive tailored assignments to address concerns and get to try/learn new things, including techniques to become more in tune and connected with your body. Working together, I will help you create a new, playful and passionate sexual relationship with yourself and others.
