Sex Therapy
Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy that focuses on intimacy, relationships, and your connection to your body. People seek out this work for many different reasons—whether something feels difficult, confusing, or simply worth exploring more deeply.
Grounded in Sex Therapy, my approach is collaborative and paced around you. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start—just a sense that you’d like things to feel different, and a willingness to explore what that could look like. Here are some common reasons people
Some common reasons people seek out sex therapy include challenges with desire or sexual connection, differences between partners, questions about identity or orientation, exploring kink or nontraditional relationship structures, navigating sexual concerns or changes in function, or healing from past experiences that impact intimacy.
Desire Discrepancy
Differences in sexual desire are incredibly common—and can feel surprisingly painful. When one partner wants sex more often than the other (or in different ways), it can lead to pressure, frustration, or feelings of rejection on both sides.
I work with couples, polycules, and individuals to understand how desire actually functions, including the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire. Rather than trying to ‘fix’ one partner, we focus on reducing blame, improving communication, and creating a sexual connection that feels mutual, respectful, and sustainable.
Together, we explore what supports desire in your unique relationship—so intimacy becomes something you can build collaboratively, not something you negotiate through pressure or avoidance.
Sexual and Gender Identity
Sexuality and gender aren’t always fixed—and it’s common to have questions, shifts, or uncertainty about what feels true for you. You might be exploring your identity for the first time, noticing changes in attraction, or trying to make sense of your experience within a relationship.
I offer a space to explore this at your own pace, without pressure to label yourself or reach a specific outcome. Together, we focus on understanding your experience, untangling outside expectations, and helping you build clarity and self-trust.
Whether you’re questioning, transitioning, or simply curious, this work is about supporting you in finding what feels authentic and sustainable for you.
Intimacy After Trauma
Past sexual experiences—especially those that were overwhelming, coercive, or violating—can have a lasting impact on intimacy, desire, and your relationship with your body. You might notice anxiety, disconnection, difficulty with arousal or pleasure, or uncertainty about boundaries and trust.
In our work together, we move at a pace that feels safe and collaborative. You are always in control of what we explore and when. Rather than focusing on reliving experiences, we focus on helping you reconnect with your body, clarify boundaries, and build a sense of safety and choice in intimate situations.
Whether you’re working individually or with a partner, the goal is to support a relationship to intimacy that feels grounded, consensual, and aligned with you.
Ethical Nonmonogamy
I work with individuals and partners exploring ethical non-monogamy, including open relationships and polyamory. My approach is grounded in consent, transparency, and intentional communication.
Whether you’re considering opening a relationship, navigating jealousy or insecurity, or working to maintain alignment across multiple connections, I offer a space where your relationship structure isn’t judged or pathologized.
Together, we focus on building clear agreements, strengthening communication, and supporting relationships that feel honest, sustainable, and aligned with your values.
Kinks
I work with individuals and partners exploring kink, BDSM, and nontraditional sexual dynamics. My approach is sex-positive and grounded in consent, communication, and self-understanding. Whether you’re curious about kink, navigating differences in desire, or working through shame or stigma, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your experiences. Together, we focus on building clarity, boundaries, and relationships that feel safe, intentional, and aligned with your values.
Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual difficulties—sometimes referred to as sexual dysfunction—can include challenges with desire, arousal, orgasm, or pain during sex. These experiences are more common than most people realize, and they’re often influenced by a mix of physical, emotional, and relational factors.
In our work together, we look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture. Rather than focusing on performance, I help clients reduce pressure, address anxiety or discomfort, and rebuild a sense of connection with their bodies and, when relevant, their partners.
When needed, I collaborate with medical providers to ensure you’re getting comprehensive care. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s creating a sexual experience that feels comfortable, connected, and aligned with you.
Some people use the term ‘sex addiction’ to describe feeling out of control with their sexual behavior or struggling with patterns that don’t align with their values. While this language is widely used, my approach aligns with AASECT, which does not classify sex or pornography use as inherently addictive disorders.
Rather than focusing on labels, we work to understand what’s driving these patterns—whether that’s stress, emotional coping, disconnection, or unmet needs. Together, we reduce shame, build awareness, and develop more intentional ways of relating to your sexuality.
If your behavior has impacted your relationships, we can also work on communication, repair, and rebuilding trust. The goal is not strict control, but helping you feel more choice, alignment, and clarity in your sexual life.
