Sex therapy
What Sex Therapy Is (and Isn’t)
Sex therapy is talk therapy. There is no physical contact and no explicit behavior in session.
We discuss patterns, reactions, communication, and comfort at a pace that feels manageable. Nothing is discussed more directly than you want it to be.
How Sex Therapy Works
Sessions are structured but conversational and paced to avoid overwhelm.
We typically work on:
identifying relationship patterns that are maintaining the current cycle
reducing pressure and anticipatory anxiety
improving communication, timing, and clarity
increasing comfort with closeness
rebuilding connection gradually and intentionally
The goal isn’t performance or pressure — it’s comfort, understanding, and choice.
Common Reasons People Reach Out
changes in desire
difficulty staying aroused or present
sexual anxiety or avoidance
performance worry
painful or uncomfortable intimacy
mismatched interest between partners
difficulty communicating about sex
reconnecting intimately after life changes
A Specialized and Thoughtful Approach
My work in sexual health and intimacy is informed by advanced training through Sexual Health Alliance, with ongoing work toward certification through American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.
I approach this work with warmth, directness, and respect for the complexity intimacy often holds.
