Sex Therapy

Sex therapy is about more than sex. It’s about connection, healing, empowerment, and self-understanding. Whether you’re feeling shame, confusion, disconnection, or curiosity, this work offers a safe and affirming space to explore your relationship with your body, your desires, and your sense of intimacy, both with yourself and others. You’re not too much, not too broken, and never alone in what you’re carrying.

What can you expect from sex therapy?

A Safe Space to Explore Intimacy, Desire, and Healing

Sexuality is a deeply human part of who we are — yet for many, it’s also where pain, shame, or confusion live. Sex therapy offers a safe, affirming space to explore intimacy, desire, boundaries, and embodiment without fear of judgment. Whether you’re partnered or not, sex therapy can help you reconnect with your body, heal from past experiences, and build a more empowered relationship with your sexual self. Our work will be paced with care and grounded in consent, curiosity, and compassion.

Support That Meets You Where You Are

Sexual challenges can be hard to talk about, and even harder to name. Maybe you’ve felt disconnected from your partner, uncomfortable in your body, or weighed down by past messages about sex and worth. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Sex therapy creates space to be seen, heard, and supported as you explore one of the most vulnerable, and powerful, aspects of being human.

  • Reclaim pleasure and desire after religious or cultural shame
  • Navigate desire discrepancies in relationships
  • Address sexual pain or discomfort (e.g., vaginismus, low arousal)
  • Process sexual trauma or boundary violations
  • Explore identity, orientation, and body image
  • Improve communication about sex and intimacy
  • Cultivate deeper emotional and physical connection
