Sex Therapy should Lead to MORE connection
For me, the best sex is when you’re able to fully let go and inhabit your body. Unfortunately, there are MANY blocks that can impede our capacity to sit and be present. Things like work, anxiety or depression, body image issues, trauma, relationship blocks, not knowing what you enjoy, physical ailments, menopause or more can really put a damper on anyone’s sexual flame.
Together, we’ll examine these sexual blocks from a depth-oriented perspective and work to transcend them.
Talking about intimate matters can be daunting, but I believe that with a bit of humor, depth, compassion, & caring, sex therapy can even be fun!
LGBTQIA+ Affirming and Sex Positive Sex Therapy
All are welcome in my practice, and I have 2 decades of experience working with queer couples. I am committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming space for individuals of every background, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religious affiliation. I firmly believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate and affirming care. Rest assured I will honor and respect your unique experiences and perspectives.
During sex therapy, we'll:
- Work through somatic (body-based) blocks that may impact sexual intimacy
- Examine cultural and societal messages influencing your sexual beliefs
- Improve your body image and connection to your sexual self
- Improve communication and connection with your partner(s)
- Discover what brings you sexual pleasure and satisfaction
- Learn to clearly express your sexual needs, desires, and boundaries
- Address how mental or physical health issues may be impacting your sexual health and how sex therapy can rejuvenate you.
