Sex Therapy
Many clients I work with are having sex they do not want to be having. They often find it hard to talk about the sex they would like to have and struggle to communicate about intimacy within their relationships. Clients often feel aging, gender, body changes, illness etc. has made their sex life even more challenging to navigate. Often, clients feel they lack desire or that they do not deserve pleasure.

“Remind yourself that the day you were born, your body was a cause for celebration, for love without condition, and that’s just as true today as it was then.”

Enhancing Sexual Well-Being and Intimacy
Sex therapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals and couples address concerns related to sexual health, intimacy, and sexual expression. Clients may seek sex therapy for a variety of reasons, including difficulties with sexual function, mismatched libidos, or a desire to explore and understand their sexual identity or preferences. The goal of sex therapy is to help you achieve a fulfilling and healthy sexual life, free from shame or anxiety.
When you come to sex therapy, you might be dealing with issues like low sexual desire, discomfort during sex, or conflicts with your partner about sexual needs and boundaries. As your therapist with specialized knowledge in sexual health, I create a non-judgmental space where you can explore these issues openly.
Sex therapy can also be a space for exploring aspects of your sexuality that you might not feel comfortable discussing elsewhere. As your therapist, I help you explore these aspects of your sexual life with curiosity, supporting you in finding what works best for you and your relationship.
Clients often come to sex therapy looking for greater confidence and comfort in their sexual selves, as well as deeper intimacy and connection with their partner. The therapeutic process involves not only addressing specific sexual concerns but also understanding the emotional and relational factors that contribute to sexual well-being. By working through these issues, sex therapy helps you and your partner build a more satisfying and authentic sexual life.
