Experience sex therapy that meets you where you are!
There is nothing wrong with you and you are not broken. Navigating sex, intimacy, and relationships in a world that believes sex is both secret and instinctively knowable can be frustrating.
Perhaps you have tried talk-based sex therapy that has gotten you part of the way, but you feel there is still more learning to be done. Maybe you have perused books and websites searching for sex help, but the information is abstract, inaccessible, or overwhelming.
Sometimes you just need someone you can learn with.
If trauma, body image, disability, chronic illness or anxiety feel like barriers to your intimacy, and sex, I can help you navigate your way to a fulfilling sex life.

Challenges we can work with
Women's Sexual Health
Sex, sexuality, and relationships present many challenges. You may feel alone in navigating those challenges be they shame around your desires, pain during sex, sexual trauma, body image challenges, anorgasmia, and navigating your own consent during sexual activities. Together, we can explore and embrace your desires around sex, learn how to feel for your yeses and your nos, and connect with your body as a source of sensation and pleasure.

Men's Sexual Health
Sex is not a script and you are not an actor! Your sexuality is dynamic and changes through the stages of your life. Sometimes it is helpful to learn how to ride the waves of change with a caring professional. I want to support you in enjoying a fulfilling sex life at any stage you are in including experiencing premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, lack of libido, illness, aging, prostate problems, cancer, performance anxiety, or trauma.
