Why Sex Therapy? Not all counselors or therapists are comfortable or capable of treating sex-related problems or issues. A sex therapist can help you resolve various challenges for individuals and couples, regardless of your sexual orientation or lifestyle.
Work collaboratively to clarify your goals. I provide a supportive environment where you will be encouraged and understood, not judged. Whatever difficulties you are experiencing (relationship and intimacy difficulties, sexual concerns, frustrations, challenges, or anything that makes you feel stuck. I will work with you with compassion and acceptance to break destructive patterns and overcome overwhelming feelings of guilt or shame. My understanding, training, life experiences, and hopeful and positive attitude will help you feel comfortable sharing all aspects of yourself, whether through angst, tears, or laughter.
Gain greater awareness. You see and act in the world and have insight into the patterns you repeat in your life that don’t support your goals and dreams. Exploring your past and present relationships with others and the internal relationship with yourself will provide you with more insight and the path you need to travel to a better you. Ultimately, I will work with you to integrate what you think, say, and do.
