What is Sex Therapy?

I like to describe sex therapy as a personal journey where we explore your behaviors and thoughts as it relates to your sexuality. Sexuality encompasses how you feel and what you think about sex. Specific topics I enjoy treating are interracial relationships, desire discrepancy, incompatibility, and sexual-emotional trauma.
Sex therapy is a form of counseling that helps individuals and couples address sexual issues and improve their sexual functioning.
It is not a of physical therapy or medical treatment, and does NOT involve any kind of sexual contact between the therapist and the client.
Sex therapy is a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their sexual concerns and work towards a healthier and more fulfilling sex life.

Entering a therapy room can feel daunting, let me walk you through what you can expect.

Your intake forms will provide me with valuable information and give me a head start on your story. Throughout our therapeutic relationship, we will continue to build a rapport, but especially in the first 3 sessions, we will get to know each other and you'll have the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. I will ask questions about your mental health history, family dynamics, upbringing, and goals in therapy.

Therapy is a special space. A place that is reserved and committed to your mental health journey.

As your therapist...

I will provide us with the structure necessary for productive conversations. By asking challenging reflection questions, I will encourage self-awareness and clarity. I put in as much effort as my clients, no more and no less. What this means is, we are a team and I will work at your pace. I will be transparent and provide you with techniques, tools, and reflection questions that I think would help get you to your destination. I am not a yes-man therapist and will hold you accountable to the goals we collaboratively set. I believe YOU are the expert of yourself and will not always have the answer. I will frequently check in with you and ask if there needs to be any modifications, as it's important you feel comfortable and safe.

As my client...

I ask for transparency. The more honest you are, the better I can treat you and do my best to cater my work to your needs. Every brain is different and it's essential for me to understand your worldview. I ask that you are honest about your progress and your readiness for therapy. Therapy requires hard work, dedication, and an investment in yourself. I am ready to climb this mountain of exploration when you are.

Together...

WE will grow, thrive, and connect. We'll have stimulating conversations and awkward silences. We can accomplish the goals you've set for yourself. We will learn from each other as we navigate through life's hurdles. We will have plenty of questions and will definitely not have the answers to everything. The goal is that you will graduate therapy feeling equipped and confident in your ability to regulate your emotions, foster meaningful relationships, and have a fulfilling sex life!

Have more questions?

Send me your questions and I'd be happy to provide clarity.
