Sex Therapy

A healthy sex life makes for a better life in general.

Your sexual self is hard to understand at times, which leads to confusion, frustration, and disconnection from your ability to experience genuine pleasure or desire.

Sexual well-being is a human right – everyone deserves a fulfilling, healthy sex life.

Intimate sexual relationships with others are an important part of adult life and can potentially be among the most rewarding aspects of living.

Often, if you’re happy with your sex life, you’re likely to be satisfied in other areas of life, too.

Sexual difficulties are commonplace in relationships.

When sex becomes dissatisfying for either partner, it can cause a debilitating impact on your relationship and life in general. Sexual difficulties may be the result of an array of psychological, physical, or relationship factors.

Sometimes, you may struggle to stay present in the act of sex, and you can get lost in self-doubt about your ability to perform or maintain arousal. This self-doubt can become a vicious cycle every time you try to engage in partnered sex, resulting in avoidance of sex altogether.

Problems with performance may cause you to feel like there is no way to fix it or make it better. Not knowing how to fix it can lead to feelings of anxiety or sadness.

Depending on social rearing and family values, you can create mental blocks that prevent you from engaging in fully satisfying sex. Or sometimes, engaging in sex can result in a negative sexual experience that has left you questioning your sexual ability.

Identifying the cause of sexual difficulties is the first step.

At times, there may be a need to explore medical causes for matters affecting your sexual health.

Sex therapy has many facets – you can explore your feelings and thoughts around sex and intimacy and address any physiological symptoms or sexual behaviors that are causing you concern.

Maybe it’s time to talk with a professional to support you in finding out what blocks you from experiencing your most genuine pleasure or desire.

Whether in a relationship or single, counseling can improve your self-image, self-esteem, and sexual confidence. I can help you holistically by addressing both the symptoms of the sexual issues and the underlying causes.

Let’s work to help create a healthy sex life for you.

I use a sex-positive approach that provides a space of nonjudgment with an openness to support you in your journey. I work with various sexual issues that pertain to individuals and couples, both gay and heterosexual.

Sexuality counseling is a strictly talk-based therapy. There is no physical contact during a session; however, I may give you take-home exercises to practice by yourself or with your partner. These tasks may include sensate focus, communication exercises, or physical activities for you to explore.

The focus of sexuality counseling is to increase your sexual well-being and authentically intimate connection to yourself and other people.

Let’s start now on getting you on the path to your authentic sexual self.
