Sex Therapy
Sex can be so much fun! However, it can also be a source of complex, confusing, and painful thoughts and feelings. As a Psychologist & Certified Sex Therapist, my goal is to help unburden people from unnecessary guilt, shame, and emotional suffering related to sex, sexuality, and eroticism.
There are many reasons why people seek out treatment for their sexual concerns. Here are a few of the most common issues that bring people into sex therapy:
- Difficulties getting or sustaining erections, or changes in vaginal lubrication
- Changes or discrepancies in sexual desire and arousal
- Difficulties achieving or delaying orgasm
- Sexual script discrepancies
- Having sex that feels unfulfilling, impulsive or disconnected
- Engaging in sexual behaviors that you wish you didn’t, including misuse of porn
- Feeling confused, ashamed, and embarrassed about your fantasies, preferences, or kinks
How Sex Therapy Helps
Sex Therapy is an effective way to address a variety of sexual concerns. It allows you to better understand your sexual preferences, needs, fantasies, and anxieties, as well as what’s preventing you from having the kind of sex you'd most enjoy.
In our work together, you’ll become more aware of your beliefs, feelings, values, patterns, and expectations related to sex. You’ll also learn how to effectively communicate about these with your partner, so that both of you are supported in discovering how sex can be more fulfilling and pleasurable.
Sex therapy can help you understand and address the many sources influencing your sexuality, eroticism, and desire. It provides a space where you can examine and rewrite dated and unhelpful narratives about sex and yourself. As a result, you'll notice improved feelings and attitudes about sex and your body. You'll also be able to better align your actions with your values, so you can stop the cycle of shame and guilt from unfulfilling sexual choices.
