What happens in your body, your bed, and your relationships matters
Sex and intimacy are deeply human and deeply vulnerable. When something feels off, whether it's desire, connection, pain, identity, or the aftermath of something that hurt you, it can touch every part of your life. Sex therapy is a space to explore all of it, without shame, without judgment, and without pressure to be anywhere other than where you are.
What is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that addresses the psychological, relational, and cultural dimensions of sexuality and intimacy. Sessions are held in a therapeutic space prioritizing verbal consent and trust, there is no physical touch. Using a sex-positive, trauma-informed lens, we'll work through what is getting in the way of you feeling at ease in your body and your relationships.
Collaboration with other providers, including pelvic floor physical therapists, medical doctors, or pain specialists, may be recommended when appropriate.
What sex therapy can help with:
Sexual trauma & abuse ~ Mismatched desire ~ Low libido ~ Pain during sex ~ Vaginismus ~ Erectile difficulties ~ Premature ejaculation ~ Difficulty with orgasm ~ Intimacy & connection ~ Infidelity & trust ~ Communication & conflict ~ Non-sexual relationships ~ Gender & sexual identity ~ Ethical non-monogamy & polyamory ~ Kink & BDSM affirming care ~ Sex work affirming therapy ~ Intersectionality & cultural impacts on sexuality
Who is sex therapy for?
Anyone. You don't need to be in a relationship to benefit from sex therapy. It's for individuals navigating personal sexual concerns just as much as it's for partners working through something together.
If you are in a relationship, whether all partners attend sessions is decided case by case. Sometimes individual sessions are most appropriate, sometimes joint sessions, sometimes both.
All relationship structures welcome.
What to expect:
Your first session is a conversation, unhurried and without pressure. We'll talk about what brought you in and what you're hoping for. I'll always ask for your consent before exploring sensitive topics, and nothing is discussed before you're ready.
Sex therapy can feel vulnerable to start. That's completely normal. Most people find that once they're in the room, it's much easier than they expected.
You deserve to feel at ease in your body and your relationships. That's not too much to ask for.
