Sex Therapy
Talking about sex can feel difficult, awkward, or even impossible. Many people struggle with intimacy, desire, or sexual confidence and carry those challenges silently. You don’t have to go through it alone. Sex therapy provides a safe, supportive, and confidential space to explore concerns, heal from shame, and reconnect with your body and your relationships.
What is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on sexual functioning, intimacy, and the emotional, psychological, and relational aspects of sexuality. As a certified sex therapist and licensed professional counselor, I integrate nearly 20 years of clinical experience with specialized training in sexuality. Sessions look much like any other talk-therapy session — there are no physical exams or procedures — and you are always in control of what we explore together.
Who is qualified to provide Sex Therapy?
Sex Therapy is conducted by a licensed mental health professional who has received considerable training in the field of sex and sexuality in addition to their master's level+ training in counseling.
What to Expect in Sessions
In sex therapy, we’ll talk openly about the challenges you’re facing, explore underlying patterns, and find concrete strategies to help you move forward. Because sex is connected to every area of life, we may also discuss stress, self-image, relationships, or other personal concerns that impact intimacy and desire. My approach is interactive, compassionate, and science-informed, designed to help you feel less alone and more empowered.

My Affirming Approach
I view sexual challenges not as fixed “disorders” but as processes we can learn from and work through together. I offer a sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink-aware, and poly-competent space where all identities and desires are welcome. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable in your body, more confident in your sexuality, and more connected in your relationships.
