Sex Therapy
It’s OK to talk about sex here.
The number one sexual health challenge I see in my office is not being able to talk about sexual health challenges.
And that’s what causes despair for my clients, because any human problem is made infinitely more painful by feeling alone in that problem.
So, if you feel like you’re the only one struggling, please know that you are not alone! You deserve support for your sexual health.
Sexual health is about so much more than just sex. It’s about feeling accepted, respected, loved, seen, and heard. It’s about belonging. And for many people, their journey of sexual health starts with learning to feel safe talking about sex with me. As a certified sex therapist, I use a professional yet warm and supportive style when addressing my clients concerns.
When I work with my clients, we look at their experiences through a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens. All parts of your identity are welcomed and seen.
Some of the common processes that can be used in sex therapy are:
-
Literally just talking about sex is helpful. Most people don’t have a ton of practice having vulnerable conversations about sexual health. With me, you can increase your level of comfort and confidence talking about sexuality.
-
You didn’t get scientifically accurate, evidence based sex ed with heart growing up? Me neither. Luckily, I’ve spent a long time human sexuality and I have a ton to share. Learning is healing.
-
This does NOT mean meditation (unless you want it to). When I use the “m” word here, I mean building your ability to be in tune with your body on a moment to moment basis. This is the basis for erotic flow states. It also means learning how to navigate distracting thoughts, whether you’re worrying about how your body looks or just going through the grocery list in your head.

If you were trying to bust a move on the dance floor, you wouldn’t just do the same thing over and over, would you? Learning different kinds of steps can open up a whole new world of possibilities. Check out my blog posts about yes/no/maybe lists and expanding the definition of sex to learn more!
