Sex Therapy

Are You Struggling With Anxiety Or Discomfort Around Your Sexuality?

Do you worry that your sex life is falling short of what you believe it “should” be?

Are you and your partner dealing with mismatched or low desire within your relationship?

Perhaps you’re dealing with physical symptoms like erectile dysfunction, difficulty orgasming, delayed or premature ejaculation, or genito-pelvic pain, and it’s affecting your self-esteem.

You may be questioning the way you engage with porn or feeling frustrated with compulsive sexual urges. If you’re curious about kink, ethical nonmonogamy (ENM), or polyamory, you might be unsure of how to explore these desires and fantasies.

Addressing Challenges In Your Sex Life Can Be Complicated

If you’ve experienced sexual abuse, assault, or medical trauma, physical intimacy may seem unsafe. You want to feel close to someone again, but you shy away from sex as a protective instinct. Even if you trust your partner, sex might still feel painful or unsafe.

When you’re disappointed in your sex life, it’s easy to assume that everyone else has it figured out, leaving you feeling inadequate and alone. It’s not easy to talk about these issues openly, and as a result, you might be struggling in silence. 

You do not have to resign yourself to a life without true intimacy. Therapy can help you address the emotional, physical, and relational dimensions of your sex life, empowering you to foster deeper connections and enjoy more satisfying experiences.

What To Expect In Sex Therapy Sessions

Sex counseling is a holistic undertaking. Rather than compartmentalizing your sex life, you’ll deepen your understanding of sexuality as an integral aspect of your emotional and physical wellbeing. 

Many people have a history of sexual trauma of some kind, and I am mindful to have a trauma-informed approach to working in sexual health. Improving your sexual life does not require recounting any sexual or medical trauma that feels overwhelming or unmanageable.

In counseling, we’ll explore the influences that have shaped your experiences with sexual desire and intimacy. This might include the environments, relationships, and cultural messaging that have affected how you view your body and your sexuality.

Whether you’re struggling with low libido, orgasm difficulties, erectile dysfunction, or shame about your desires and fantasies, we’ll work toward restoring a sense of agency and curiosity in your sexual life through counseling, all while strengthening your self-trust.

Treatment Approaches To Sex Therapy

My approach doesn’t promote the assumption that there’s only one “right” way to embrace your sexuality. Sometimes, your body’s resistance or discomfort is an important signal that’s worth listening to. We’ll focus on what feels meaningful and satisfying to you, rather than aiming for “normal.”

For many people, shame gets in the way of sexual pleasure and building healthy relationships. I’ll help you get to the roots of shame so that you can figure out what’s truly fulfilling for you. 

Sex therapy sessions are centered around your personal goals. You might want to revitalize your libido, process past trauma, feel more present in your body, explore a non-monogamous relationship, shift the way you engage with porn, or address any other area that falls under the broad umbrella of sexuality. We’ll take stock of what’s working for you, where you’re unsatisfied, and what you hope to gain from therapy.

I’ll equip you with take-home practice skills like non-sexual touch, communication techniques, and mindfulness techniques, enabling you to cultivate closer connections and reduce anxiety. For couples and partners, I may recommend intimacy exercises centered around physical touch to rebuild trust without the pressure of sexual performance.

You do not need to live in conflict with your body or desires. Never underestimate what is possible when you let go of shame, embarrassment, and guilt around your sexuality.
