What is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that supports individuals and couples in navigating concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, desire, identity, and relationships. Sexual challenges are common—and they are deeply influenced by emotional health, relational dynamics, cultural messaging, and the nervous system.

I offer sex therapy for adults seeking a thoughtful, professional, and non-judgmental space to explore sexual concerns and erotic wellbeing. My approach integrates evidence-based mental health care with a relational and somatic understanding of sexuality, supporting clients in developing clarity, agency, and connection.

Sex therapy is not about telling you how sex should look. It is about helping you understand your unique sexual landscape and supporting change that feels authentic, consensual, and aligned with your values.

Inclusive & Affirming Sex Therapy

I provide sex therapy that is explicitly affirming of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, relationship structures, and erotic expressions. This is a space where clients are not asked to educate, justify, or minimize who they are.

I work with clients across a wide spectrum, including:

• LGBTQIA+ individuals

• Cisgender, transgender, and nonbinary clients

• Monogamous, consensually non-monogamous, and polyamorous relationships

• Kink-affirming and BDSM-aware therapy

• Individuals exploring sexual identity, desire, or orientation across the lifespan

My role as a sex therapist is not to pathologize difference, but to support healthy communication, boundaries, consent, and self-understanding.

Common Reasons People Seek Sex Therapy

Sex therapy can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Low libido or changes in sexual desire

• Desire discrepancies between partners

• Sexual anxiety, shame, or avoidance

• Difficulty with arousal, orgasm, or pleasure

• Pain during intimacy or changes related to medical or hormonal factors

• Sexual concerns related to perimenopause or menopause

• Relationship challenges involving intimacy or communication

• Exploration of erotic identity or sexual values

• Healing from sexual trauma or past relational experiences

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your goals. Interventions may include psychotherapy, psychoeducation, somatic awareness, and communication tools, always grounded in consent and client choice.

A Somatic & Relational Approach to Sexuality

Sexuality is not only cognitive or behavioral—it lives in the body, the nervous system, personal history, and relational context. My work as a sex therapist is informed by a somatic perspective, supporting clients in reconnecting with bodily cues, emotional safety, and internal permission.

Rather than focusing solely on sexual performance or outcomes, therapy emphasizes presence, attunement, agency, and nervous system regulation. This approach is particularly supportive for clients experiencing anxiety, trauma histories, or midlife body changes.

What to Expect in Sex Therapy

Sex therapy sessions are conducted in a professional, confidential, and respectful environment. While sexual topics may be discussed, sessions are not explicit or performative. The focus is on understanding patterns, reducing distress, and supporting meaningful change.

Clients often report improved communication, reduced shame, increased confidence, and a deeper sense of alignment with their sexual and relational lives.

Sex Therapy for Midlife & Menopause

Many individuals seek sex therapy during midlife, perimenopause, or menopause due to changes in desire, arousal, comfort, or body image. Therapy can support you in understanding how hormonal, emotional, and relational factors intersect—without reducing sexuality to a purely medical issue.

This work honors sexuality as evolving, adaptable, and deeply personal across the lifespan.
