I’m uncomfortable even saying the word sex—will this still work for me?

Yes, sex therapy can still work for you if you're uncomfortable talking about sex. It's natural to feel this way, and with healthy professional boundaries and a gentle approach, I create a safe space for exploration at your comfort level.

Will sex therapy make my partner want to have more sex with me?

Sex therapy cannot make someone want to have more sex. Our focus will be on cultivating your own sexual health first; from that place of wellness, we can then address the relational dynamics, allowing for more authentic connection.

What is the difference between sex therapy and couples counseling?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of counseling focused specifically on sexual health, intimacy, and related issues, while couples counseling addresses the broader relationship dynamics. They often overlap, and we can integrate both approaches as needed.

Is sex therapy only for couples, or can individuals attend?

Sex therapy is for both individuals and couples. Many people seek it individually to address personal sexual concerns, self-esteem, or behaviors before or alongside working on relational intimacy.
