Sexual Problems

When clients come to me with sexual concerns, they often feel isolated and tell me that their self-esteem has been impacted. Many sexual issues can be successfully addressed through sex therapy including low libido, pain, difficulty with orgasm, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual shame, desire discrepancy between partners, and navigating kink / BDSM. I operate from a sex-positive and collaborative perspective.

I have specialized training in working with sexual health issues, specifically focusing out of control sexual behaviors and the impact of trauma on sexual functioning.

As a sex therapist, most of my professional work has been centered around helping folks navigate sexual issues. I use a sex-positive lens in working with sexual concerns.

I am an AASECT certified sex therapist. I am trained to treat a variety of sex-related issues including sexual dysfunction, sexual pain, lack of sex in relationship, the betrayal of infidelity, and open/consensually non-monogamous relationships. I also help those struggling in the aftermath of sex-related trauma. I particularly thrive helping relationships of all kinds find sexual fulfillment and emotional intimacy in their connection.

I treat female issues ranging from vaginismus to low libido to menopause-related symptoms, and male issues such as delayed ejaculation and inability to achieve erection. I also teach my clients the sexual health model so they have language for sex and an understanding that regardless of gender, sexuality, and desired sexual behavior, as long as nobody is hurt and everyone gives consent, there is a very wide range of sexual health.

If you are experience low libido, pain with sex, change in sex drive or difficulty experiencing intimacy it can affect your feelings of well being and connection. I am trained in sex therapy and specialize in women's sexual health especially during perimenopause and menopause. I am trained by ISSWSH (International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health).

Sexual intimacy is a powerful way to create connection in a relationship. It can also be a source of pain, fear, and unpleasant feelings. As open as our society is supposed to be about sex, we often have beliefs that interfere with a healthy sexuality. Sex also feels vulnerable and rifts in a relationship can have a negative impact on sex. There are many skills and practices couples can learn to make sex a central part of their connection to each other.

I utilize my sex therapy training and integrate it into all of my work with clients. It doesn’t have to be the focus of your journey, but we can explore and get curious. It is a safe space to explore any challenges you might be facing or exploring your sexual desires. Therapy includes: exploring identities and orientations, pain during sex, performance concerns, trauma, desire discrepancy, out of control sexual behaviors, body image, marginalized sexual identities, and self-confidence.

My sex therapy training took place at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy as well as the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment. I work with individuals and partners to address a range of sexual challenges including desire discrepancy between partners, sexual dysfunction, sexual pain, sexual trauma, sexual shame, expanding sexual creativity, navigating non-monogamy, and exploring BDSM/kink practices.

I have over a decade of experience as a sex-positive sexual health and relationships educator. This includes talking with people about the issues related to sexual shame, kink, sexual identity, desire, and a host of other topics related to sex, sexuality, and relationships.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists . I offer a sex-positive approaches to address sexual concerns and enhance pleasure. I empower couples to embrace their desires, overcome challenges, and cultivate fulfilling sexual experiences. My goal is to create a supportive environment where couples can explore their sexuality confidently, authentically and joyously.

Does this sound familiar: You have good intentions, but attempts to stop your destructive sexual behaviors have been unsuccessful. You are hesitant to label yourself as an “addict", yet you feel that something is definitely wrong. You're smart, successful, and otherwise have a good life... but you also know that healthy sexuality shouldn’t involve feeling anxious or shameful, and shouldn't control your life, so you're here looking for help.

Most therapists won't talk about sexual problems. Sure, they'll talk about sexuality, but not sex itself. This is a shame, because it is such a huge part of one's life, and is sometimes very closely connected to one's mental and emotional health in some way.
