Sex Therapy

What is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on sexual issues, sexuality, love, intimacy, gender and relationships. Sex is not typically something that you can talk about in a medical or even mental health setting. Both clients and even providers can feel uncomfortable or ill equipped to talk about sex. In Sex therapy, all aspects of sex and sexuality can be explored without concerns or fears of judgment.

Why Sex Therapy?

 Our sexuality lies at the core of our identities as human beings. Yet we often have had very few, if any, spaces to talk about, learn about or share about sex or sexuality. Most of the time if it is addressed, it is typically about negative consequences or risks such as pregnancy and STI’s. Pleasure or sexual health is hardly, if ever mentioned. We unfortunately live in a sex negative culture that has passed on minimal and damaging messages about sex. This leads to many adults, couples, and families avoiding talking about most sexual matters. We often don’t realize how important our sexuality is until something goes wrong. Many individuals and couples do not talk about or share about their experiences with sex. Individuals and couples seeking sex therapy are often dealing with distress, emotional pain, and confusion. You may be feeling stuck, lonely, ashamed or scared. You may be thinking that something is wrong with you, or you are abnormal in some way. You may even have fears of being judged, misunderstood, or rejected. It’s hard dealing with sex when worries or fears about being broken or “not normal” show up. It can get even harder when both you and your partner do not know how to talk about or share about sex.

I want you to know that you are not broken. And you no longer have to suffer in this alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental and open space to allow your most vulnerable parts to show up and finally be seen and acknowledged.

I can help guide and support you as you learn how to feel more confident in your body and as a lover. And not only will we address your concerns or “problems” but we will also focus on how to feel empowered and embrace more pleasure in your life.

Sex, intimacy and love are such huge parts of our lives. Whether you are partnered or single, wishing you could be more sexual or do not enjoy sex at all— I honor and celebrate your unique sexuality and will support you on this journey to understanding, pleasure, and self discovery.
