Couple Sex Therapy

I have experience working with a wide range of sexual difficulties couples face that get in the way of pleasure and connection with each other. Sexual issues are extremely common and sometimes we need a safe space to talk about them with a non-judgmental and qualified therapist.

issues commonly addressed:

• Refining and cultivating the art of eroticism in a long-term relationship

• Navigating desire discrepancy or low desire in one or both partners

• Sexlessness and sexual avoidance in one or both partners

• Learning to set healthy sexual boundaries and increase ability to say “no” as well as increase ability to say “yes”

• Learning to saying “yes” not out of obligation, but out of genuine desire

• Questions about sexual compatibility and erotic templates

• Helping co-habitating partners resist the inertia of the “roommate effect”; learning how to relate to you partner both as a friend, companion, co-parent AND lover

• Improving and fostering sexual communication

• Problems with pornography or out-of-control sexual behavior (‘‘sex addiction”)

• Working with individuals in recovery with S.L.A.A. or S.A.A.

• Developing alternative relationship structures (ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, Design-Around-Monogamy, Living Apart Together, etc)

• Navigating fertility concerns and/or infertility

• Maintaining a vital sexual relationship in the aftermath of having children and through the duration of raising children

• BDSM & Kink

• Love/lust split

I do not work with issues that would be better served utilizing a primarily behavioral approach for common issues like erectile difficulties, vaginismus, rapid/delayed ejaculation, vestibulodynia, or anorgasmia. I do, however, support couples navigating body changes due to illness, chronic pain, childbirth or cancer to redefine how they share and experience intimacy.
