Compassionate Sex Therapy to Reconnect and Heal
What Is Sex Therapy?
Sex can be a vulnerable act, and talking about it can feel even more vulnerable. In sex therapy, I move at the pace that feels right for you and your relationship. This work is collaborative and is not just about what happens in the bedroom, because sex and intimacy are often intertwined with other aspects of the relationship.
In our work together, I offer trauma-informed care and support you in exploring sexual intimacy, sexual health, and the relational dynamics that shape your experience. You and your partner will be given tools for communication and connection that you can practice in session and on your own.
Common Issues I Help With
I help individuals and couples navigate a variety of sexual and relational concerns including:
Sexual intimacy challenges
Performance anxiety
Low libido
Sexual dysfunction
Relationship issues
Communication barriers
Healing from sexual trauma
Life transitions affecting sex and intimacy
My work supports you in building connection, pleasure, and satisfaction in your sexual and relational life.
How I Work With You in Sex Therapy
I work collaboratively with you to explore your sexual scripts and learn what sexual wellness and pleasure mean for you. Once I understand who you are and what you want, I use communication tools and mindfulness practices to promote learning and connection within your relationship.
For many people, sex starts outside of the bedroom. That is why I also explore other parts of your relationship and support shared experiences that build a foundation of connection beyond sexual intimacy. The goal is to create space for pleasure and closeness both inside and outside of the bedroom.
What to Expect in a Session
In our sessions, I provide a supportive and grounded space where we may focus on:
Promoting healing and building safety within your body and relationship
Addressing mismatched desire
Practicing intimacy outside of the bedroom
Exploring the experiences that informed your sexual identity
Learning how your sex life can adapt to life transitions
Exploring sex and intimacy after childbirth
This work can also be an integral part of healing from sexual trauma. Together, we’ll build a foundation of safety that allows you to feel more grounded in your relationship and in your pleasure.
Is Sex Therapy Right for You?
Sex therapy can be helpful if you are experiencing challenges with sexual intimacy, low libido, performance anxiety, sexual dysfunction, or communication barriers. It can also support you if you are healing from sexual trauma or navigating changes in your relationship or body.
If you are searching for a sex therapist near me, I offer individualized, trauma-informed care to support your sexual health and relational goals. I work with both couples and individuals at various stages of their healing journey.
