Sex therapy is a unique and specialized form of talk therapy designed to help individuals and/or couples address psychological, emotional, and relational factors affecting their sexual health and satisfication. Concerns about sexuality, gender, sexual functioning, fantasy, behaviors, and sexual expression are typically discussed. While sexual issues are commonly experienced, they frequently go unspoken in therapy as very often feelings of shame, guilt or stigma hold people back from getting the help they need. Sex therapy addresses emotional issues underlying sexual problems and utilizes various techniques to cope with physical and psychological symptoms. What is different about sex therapy is that a sexual history is taken in the beginning in order to better understand your story and the concerns you seek to address. During a sex history, past experiences and the impact of culture and social environment on one’s sexuality are discussed and the messages you received or internalized about sex are explored. I offer treatment for those who are experiencing pain or performance concerns, differing levels of desires, difficulty coping with body image, identity and sexual trauma, and for those looking to have a better relationship with sex or increase their understanding about sexuality and anatomy. Sessions are 50 minutes long and are usually scheduled on a weekly or biweekly basis.

Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy and never involves sexual contact between me and the client.
