FAQ

Seeking sex therapy can feel vulnerable, particularly when you are talking about something you have rarely, or never, said out loud. My goal is to make the process clear, comfortable, and straightforward from the beginning.

What to Expect

Our first sessions focus on understanding what brings you to therapy, the larger context surrounding the concern, and what you would like to change.

Sexual concerns rarely exist in isolation. Depending on what brings you in, we may explore sexual and relationship history, attachment patterns, emotional regulation, physical health, values, communication, stress, cultural messages, and previous experiences.
From there, we develop a clear direction for treatment together.

My work is active and collaborative. Sessions may include psychotherapy, psychoeducation, communication skills, structured exercises, or practices to explore between sessions. I use established clinical frameworks while tailoring treatment to the individual or couple in front of me.
Your values help determine where we are going. My role is to help us stay focused on how to get there.
