You’ve been told all your life that sex is supposed to be simple and obvious; then it turns out it’s not.
Sex therapy helps with:
Problems (or differences within a relationship) around sexual desire
Difficulty with sexual intimacy after infidelity
Changes in sexual desire or functioning while dealing with infertility
Low sexual confidence
Painful sex (whether there is a known physiological cause or not)
Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation or difficulty having an orgasm
What happens in sex therapy?
Sex therapy is similar to any other form of talk therapy — there is no touching. But I work to create a comfortable atmosphere for you to discuss the topic of your own sexuality and any difficulties you’re facing there.
Is sex therapy only for couples or can I attend alone?
I’m happy to work with individuals or couples. If you’re currently partnered with someone who’s willing to come in, I do lean toward working with a couple together; but if there’s a reason you prefer to come in alone, that’s fine, too — let’s talk about it!
What kind of training do you have?
I’ve received extensive post-graduate training in sex therapy. This includes not just a knowledge base on the topic of sexuality, diversity of sexual expression, and sexual dysfunction, but also specific training in clinical interventions for couples and individuals who present with sexual concerns.
I’m a kink, poly, and queer-competent therapist.
