Sex Therapy: Deepening Intimacy with Self & Others
Sex therapy is a specialized therapeutic modality designed to help people explore their sexuality, including behaviors, physiological, and psychological issues that an individual or couple/open/poly relationships may encounter.
Sex is a natural and vital part of life, but it can also be a source of stress, confusion, and disconnection. For queer, trans, and BI&POC communities, conversations about sex are often fraught with cultural shame, religious stigma, and systemic oppression, which limit access to affirming resources.
I believe pleasure is sacred, political, and essential to overall health. Therapy for sexual concerns offers an opportunity to explore your sexuality, access pleasure, and enhance intimacy. It is a chance to give yourself permission to envision what a liberating and empowering sexual life can look like.
Sex therapy can be useful to anyone, but this work is especially powerful for clients who:
Are healing from sexual trauma or shame
Have internalized harmful messages around sex, gender and desire
Feel disconnected from their bodies or pleasure due to systemic or relational harm
Are redefining intimacy after life-changing illnesses, including cancer, or other chronic illnesses
Common issues we can address together include:
Low or absent desire & desire discrepancies
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) & ejaculation concerns
Difficulties with orgasm
Pain during sex (e.g., vaginismus, dyspareunia)
Improving intimacy and communication
Concerns related to sexual identity or orientation
It's important to know that sex therapy is a collaborative process. Our sessions involve conversation and education—there is no physical contact or sexual activity involved.
I am a sex-positive therapist trained through the California Institute of Integral Studies’ Sex Therapy Certificate Program and am currently pursuing AASECT certification. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to equip you with the knowledge and tools to break down barriers, foster open communication, and build a more fulfilling and confident intimate life.
