In sex therapy, we look at all the factors that affect your body, mind, and nervous system and see how they're impacting your sexual functioning. We create a treatment plan that allows you to create safety, explore pleasure, build communication skills, and un-learn toxic messaging. Sex therapy helps with many issues, including: lack of desire for sex, painful sex, complications due to prolapse or other injury, not knowing 'what you like', sharing feedback with a partner, and how to navigate relationships where one partner wants sex more frequently.

After searching for a couples' counselor myself and hitting many dead ends, I decided to go back to school and become a therapist. While immersed in my studies, I fell in love with sex therapy and supporting people while they learn more about their bodies, their relationships, and their ability to love themselves.

I am very direct with my clients -- gently. You're ready to make a change in your life and my job is to facilitate that! So while I'll probably laugh at your jokes if they're really funny, I'll also invite you to dig a little deeper and get into the 'good stuff.'

In therapy we usually let the brain tell us what's going on with a "looking down from the top" approach. Somatic therapy allows us to ask the body to tell us the rest of the story "looking up from the bottom" -- which can help us to integrate what you notice, learn, and repair for faster and more holistic progress. It's still talk therapy, but we check in more frequently with the signals and feedback you get from your body. Feeling a little on-edge? Maybe your body's got something to add to the conversation. Let's listen.
