Sex Therapy

Intimacy that feels like yours again

It’s time to reclaim your confidence and desire.

You're not broken. You're responding.

Every body has a logic to it. The desire that disappeared, the shutdown during sex, the way intimacy started to feel like pressure instead of pleasure — these aren't failures. They're signals. What's needed isn't more effort. It's a different kind of understanding.

Who This is For

You might be in the right place if ...

Sex has started to feel like something to get through, not something to look forward to

Your body isn't responding the way you expect — or the way it used to

You and your partner want different things, and neither of you knows how to talk about it

You're carrying something — shame, a past experience, or just a quiet sense that something is off

How We Work Together

Connect Body, Mind, and Culture

Your sexuality was shaped long before you had any say in it.

Map the Nervous System

Most of what feels like a problem is your body doing exactly what it learned to do.

Clarify Desire

Desire isn't something you have or don't — it's something we learn to understand.

Dismantle What Isn't Yours

The guilt, the scripts, the "supposed tos" — those came from somewhere. And they can be unlearned.

My Approach

Mainstream culture's portrayal of sex is mostly noise and no signal — performance metrics, scripts, and comparisons that have almost nothing to do with actual human intimacy.
‍
I work from the belief that your body knows something. The shutdown, the longing, the disconnection — they're information, not defects.

My approach draws on somatic awareness, emotionally-focused therapy, nervous system education, Internal Family Systems, and couples communication frameworks. We're not just talking about sex. We're understanding it.

Sessions are grounded, specific, and often surprising. People regularly tell me they had no idea how much context their sexuality was carrying.

Certifications

AASECT Certified Sex Therapist

AASECT — the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists — sets the national standard for sex therapy certification. It requires supervised clinical hours specifically in sexual health, not just general therapy training. It's a meaningful distinction.

AASECT Certified Sex Therapist Supervisor

The CSTS credential is AASECT's supervisor-level certification — it authorizes supervising clinicians toward their own CST hours, and requires demonstrated expertise in both the clinical work and in teaching it.

Not Sure Where To Start?

Communicating about sex is one of the most consistent predictors of satisfaction — and one of the hardest conversations to begin. This worksheet walks you through it: how to identify what you actually want, how to frame it in a way your partner can hear, and how to build from there.

It's free. It's grounded in research. And you can use it on your own or bring it into a session.
