Sex Therapy
Why Sex Therapy? …Not all counselors or therapists are comfortable or capable of treating sex related problems. Sex therapy helps to resolve a variety of issues for both individuals and couples, whatever your sexual orientation or life style. Whether you are straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, kinky, etc.,…
Work collaboratively to clarify your goals. I provide a supportive environment where you will not be judged but encouraged and understood. Whatever difficulties you are experiencing – relationship and intimacy difficulties, sexual concerns, frustrations, challenges, or anything that is making you feel stuck. I will work with you with compassion and acceptance to break destructive patterns, overcome overwhelming feelings of guilt or shame. My compassion, life experience, and encouraging and positive attitude will help you feel comfortable sharing all aspects of yourself whether, it be through angst, tears, or laughter.
Gain greater awareness …of how you see and act in the world and insight into the patterns you repeat in your life that don’t support your goals and dreams. Exploring with you both your past and present relationships with others (current/past intimate relationships, parental and sibling relationships, friendships, and other significant life relationships) as well as the internal relationship you have with yourself. Ultimately, I will work with you to integrate what you think, say, and do.
