sex therapy and psychotherapy for individuals
Men, Women, Non Binary, and LGBTQ+
Do you find yourself struggling with self-confidence around issues like navigating the dating world, performance anxiety, ED, or compulsive sexual behaviors? Do you struggle with achieving orgasm alone or with a partner, or doubt your ability to satisfy your own and your partner needs? If so, I look forward to helping you connect with your body and follow the pleasure to achieve deep satisfaction and personal fulfillment.
In-Person & Online Sex Therapy and Psychotherapy for Individuals
Sex therapy can benefit anyone, whether single, exploring their sexual identity, or not ready to involve a partner. Many people struggle with forming satisfying relationships or achieving sexual fulfillment due to past experiences, repeated relational patterns, or a lack of sexual education. These challenges can impact confidence, desire, and intimacy. Individual therapy helps identify the sources of these difficulties, develop a clear vision for healthy relationships, and guide you toward fulfilling connections with intention.
Individual Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy can help if
Dating feels confusing, discouraging, or emotionally draining, leaving you unsure how to connect meaningfully with others.
Repeated relationship patterns have caused disappointment or pain, and you want to understand and change those dynamics.
Sexual pleasure feels blocked due to early messages shaped by religion, shame, or the absence of healthy sex education.
Orgasms feel difficult or unreachable, whether alone or with a partner, creating frustration or self-doubt.
Sexual desire feels low, absent, or different from cultural expectations, including identifying as asexual.
Anxiety, performance concerns, or confidence issues affect sexual experiences, pleasure, or connection with partners.
Past experiences such as sexual exploitation, betrayal, or abuse continue to affect trust, safety, and intimacy.
Sexual behaviors such as compulsive pornography use, infidelity, or impulsive actions feel out of control and lead to stress or regret.
Sexual fantasies, attractions, or desires feel confusing, distressing, or difficult to understand.
Many other emotional, relational, and sexual concerns feel hard to navigate alone.
Common Barriers to Sexual and Relational Fulfillment
Sexual and relational satisfaction often feels challenging due to a combination of personal history, cultural influences, and emotional experiences. Religious or cultural messages may create deep-rooted shame around sexuality, while limited or inaccurate sex education can leave individuals unsure about their bodies or desires.
Anxiety, performance concerns, low desire, or difficulty reaching orgasm can affect confidence and connection. Past trauma, betrayal, or abuse often disrupts trust and safety in relationships. Compulsive behaviors and confusion around fantasies or attractions may add further distress. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore these challenges and develop healthier patterns.
Individual Therapy for All Identities
Therapy supports men, women, non-binary individuals, and LGBTQ+ clients by addressing sexual and relational concerns shaped by unique experiences. Men often seek support for erectile challenges, premature ejaculation, or emotional disconnection. Women may struggle with low desire, difficulty reaching orgasm, or unresolved trauma.
Non-binary individuals frequently face body image concerns, gender-related stress, or societal misunderstanding. LGBTQ+ clients may navigate sexual orientation, identity exploration, discrimination, and relationship dynamics. Therapy focuses on understanding personal histories, relational patterns, and individual goals to strengthen intimacy, pleasure, and self-confidence.
Exploring Sexual Identity, Desires, and Fantasies
Sexual fulfillment grows from understanding personal identity, desires, and fantasies without fear or judgment. Therapy creates a safe and affirming environment to explore sexual orientation, gender identity, and attractions openly.
Many individuals carry shame or confusion about what they desire or whom they feel drawn to, often shaped by societal expectations. Through reflection and guided exploration, therapy supports self-acceptance and clarity. Aligning desires with personal values helps individuals build authentic, consensual intimacy and develop a healthier relationship with their sexuality.

Healing from Past Trauma and Relationship Challenges
Managing Compulsive or Distressing Sexual Behaviors

With support, individuals move toward choices that align with their values and support long-term relational well-being.
