When it comes to sex therapy, you want someone specifically trained in topics relating to sex and sexuality. This is because most counselors, including couples therapists, have little training in sex and sexuality.

I’m different.

I am both a “regular” therapist and a “sex therapist.”

Think of a cardiologist. A cardiologist is first trained as a medical doctor who then specializes in working with hearts.

Similarly, certified sex therapists are first trained as “regular therapists.” Then, they are additionally trained in sex therapy.

“Regular therapists” typically only take one (1) class in human sexuality as part of their education.

I completed over 90 additional hours of education and training focused solely on human sexuality to obtain my certification.

I am certified thru The Sexual Health Alliance which was recognized by Forbes as one of the top places in America to become a certified sex therapist. My program is also approved by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). See www.aasect.org. for more information.

Rest assured that our sex therapy sessions are strictly talk therapy. I will never ask you to get naked or show pictures or videos of yourself or your partner.

During our sessions, I’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your concerns, including personal, physical, and sexual aspects, to gain a complete understanding of your situation.

Based on your unique needs and goals, we'll work together to develop specific interventions and suggestions to help you address your issues step-by-step.

Being “sex-positive” means that the therapist acknowledges the risks and dangers of sex, but also acknowledges the importance of sexual pleasure, health, and well-being while embracing sexual diversity and open-communication. It focuses less on sexual “deviance” and more on the ethics of various sexual practices.

Sadly, some therapists are “sex-negative” and focus on sexual asceticism — meaning, they only see a narrow range of socially accepted sexual behaviors as “normal” or “healthy.” They are preoccupied with cultural scripts around sex that focus almost exclusively on pathology, risk, and danger.

No, you don't need to be in a relationship to benefit from sex therapy. What matters most is your willingness to talk about what’s bothering you.

Any time you have questions or concerns, always feel free to talk about them in therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous and timid about these topics.

It depends. Sometimes issues between partners require both to be present to address them.

If your problem is an issue that you’ve struggled with long before becoming involved with your partner, then it’s likely more appropriate for you to come to therapy by yourself.

You can always talk to me more about this during your free phone consultation before you decide to work with me.

Yes. Communication problems often arise in relationships which need professional help.

Many times, relationship issues are expressed in the sexual aspect of your relationship — even unconsciously.

Not only was my graduate degree in counseling particularly focused on Marriage, Family, and Relationship issues, but I am also trained in The Gottman Method which has a strong research research base now for over 40 years. So, I am specifically trained in relationship issues.

Yes. Most relationships start out with great sex that sometimes diminishes over time because of issues that impact desire.

As a sex therapist and relationship counselor, I am trained in confronting the reasons or power struggles that may have led to the loss of desire.

I can help guide you to achieve your fullest sexual potential as a couple.
