What is Sex Therapy?
​Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk and behavioral therapy that helps people work through a wide variety of concerns related to their sexual experiences, identities, and relationships. Whether you're navigating trauma, shame, desire differences, pain, or just want a better connection to your body and pleasure, we can create a safe and affirming space to explore it all.​
Are things going to get weird?
Absolutely, they’re going to get weird. But not in the way you think!
Allow me to explain...
How can Sex Therapy help me?
Does this sound like you?
​"Why don’t I want sex the way I’m “supposed” to?"
You're not broken—and you're not alone. Through sex therapy, we’ll untangle pressure, shame, and mismatched expectations so you can better understand what you want and how to express it with confidence and care.
​
"Sex used to be fun. Now it’s not."
Losing connection to pleasure is painful—but it’s not the end of the road. Sex therapy offers space to explore what’s shifted, what you need now, and how to bring curiosity and ease back into your sex life.
​
"Our sex life is so boring! I want more, but how do I ask?"
Desire changes, fantasies evolve, and routine sets in. I’ll help you explore what turns you on (and off), communicate desires without shame, and co-create a sexual dynamic that actually excites you.
​
"I’ve been hurt before and I can’t seem to get past it."
Trauma doesn’t just disappear with time—and it can make sex feel unsafe, confusing, or even impossible. Together, we’ll gently work through the impact at your pace, helping you reconnect with safety, trust, and a sense of control in your body and relationships.
​
"I don’t even know how to talk about sex."
You don’t need to know all the words to start. Whether you’re figuring out what you like or healing from past messages that made sex feel scary, therapy meets you where you are—with no judgment, just curiosity.
​
"Sex hurts. What now?"
Pain during sex can be scary and lonely. Sex therapy gives us space to explore the physical, emotional, and relational layers of what’s happening—and create a plan to reduce pain and reclaim intimacy.
​
"I got a lot of shame from my culture/church/family."
You’re allowed to question what you were taught. Here you will find a space where you don’t have to hide the parts of you that were made to feel “bad.” We’ll sort through the noise and help you reclaim your body and desires.
What can I expect in Sex Therapy
We will…
• Talk about sex in detail. There is no such thing as “Too much information”. You can’t make me blush or scare me off- I promise!
• Look at your sexual experience from a non-judgmental, non-shaming perspective. In sex therapy, thoughts and feelings are never “bad”- they're just experiences and data we can learn from.
• Use that information to craft interventions that fit your unique needs. Sex therapy might include working on letting go of shame, building fun menus of things you want to explore, practicing frank conversations with your partner(s), or looking at your behaviors and choosing what to keep or change. I’m here to support your path forward.
​
We will NOT…
• Cross boundaries or violate consent. You set the pace. If you’re not ready to talk about something, we won’t- until you are. I may invite you to stretch your comfort zone, but never without your consent and collaboration.
• Hang around in shame. We’ll explore your shame and anxiety so we can understand it- and then work on letting it go. Sex therapy is a space where judgment has no place, and I won’t let you keep judging yourself either.
• Practice sexual activities in session. Sex therapy is talk-based. Anything experiential stays between you and your people (that’s your homework! 😉)
​
Is Sex Therapy right for me?
Yes! If:
​
You’re ready to stop avoiding the hard stuff- whether it’s low desire, sexual pain, shame, or confusion.
​
You’re tired of feeling stuck and you’re ready for change.
​
You're ready to feel more confident and connected in your sex life
