Sexual Problems

Sex therapy is a form of psychotherapy (talk therapy) that discusses concerns with sexuality. This could entail a change in sexual desire over the course of a relationship, difficulty with sexual arousal that is left unexplained after medical evaluation, flashbacks during sexual intercourse etc. Many of these concerns have a psychological component and we work within that context through talk therapy.

I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who is both comfortable and competent navigating physical intimacy and sexual challenges with clients either as individuals or in a couples dynamic.

I am a Michigan Trained, Certified Sex Therapist. I believe that sex is a vital part of the human experience and I love working with folks to help them creatively solve their sexual challenges.

I am enrolled in sex therapy certification and treat issues related to low desire, anorgasmia, difficulty communicating around pleasure and intimacy. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself, your desires, and communicate to partner(s) if applicable to have a happy, healthy, and fun sex life.

I support clients healing from sexual abuse, sexual assault, purity culture, and compulsory heterosexuality. I help clients work through their history, process any relevant traumas and core beliefs, and work toward sexual liberation and authenticity.

I am currently in the process of becoming a sex therapist. I am comfortable discussing any sexual matter from impotency to kink and lifestyle. I will support you on your journey to discovering what works for you.

I love talking about sex. I love helping people have great sex. Our society is filled with shame about our bodies and sex that many of my clients have never talked about it with anyone, including their sexual partners. Society has sexualized all touch and made it so people feel like sex is the only place they can be touched. Many of our relationship issues and stressors impact our sex lives and prevent us from feeling connected and fulfilled in our interactions. I'm also supportive of asexuality

I'm here to support you through any sexual challenges you're facing, providing a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly share your concerns. Using evidence-based techniques, we'll explore the underlying factors, develop a personalized treatment plan, and incorporate education to empower you with knowledge and tools for desired change. Together, we'll work towards enhancing your well-being and fostering a more fulfilling sexual life.

I help persons not act out sexual misbehaviors.

Does this sound familiar: You have good intentions, but attempts to stop your destructive sexual behaviors have been unsuccessful. You are hesitant to label yourself as an “addict", yet you feel that something is definitely wrong. You're smart, successful, and otherwise have a good life... but you also know that healthy sexuality shouldn’t involve feeling anxious or shameful, and shouldn't control your life, so you're here looking for help.

I create a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to address their concerns. I employ evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychosexual therapy to help individuals and couples overcome issues such as erectile dysfunction, low libido, and sexual pain. Together, we explore underlying factors like anxiety, past trauma, and relationship dynamics, fostering open communication to enhance intimacy and improve sexual functioning.

Many couples find themselves experiencing sexual problems, such as sexual desire discrepancy in the relationship. I help couples improve their sexual connection through sex therapy techniques which include psychoeducation, improving communication about sex with talk therapy modalities, and experiential homework exercises that improve sexual relationships.

I have experience working with sexual problems including avoidance and compulsions. I also enjoy supporting communities that can experience stigma and oppression around sexuality, including those in open relationship, involved in kink and sex work and those identifying as Transgender and GNC.

I believe sexuality can be an incredible source of connective intimacy, pleasure, joy, and strength! With this in mind, it is no wonder that issues in this area feel incredibly distressing, and sometimes have far-reaching consequences. During my Masters' education, I specialized in Sexuality and began pursuing sex therapy training. I focus on helping my clients work through the mental, emotional, and somatic barriers that stop them from connecting with pleasure.

I have pursued additional training and reading to enhance my expertise in treating sexual problems. I am currently working towards a certificate in this area, further deepening my knowledge and skills. I am equipped to work with both individuals and couples who are facing sexual concerns. Additionally, I facilitate educational women's groups, providing a supportive and informative space for women to explore and address their specific needs.

I utilize my sex therapy training and integrate it into all of my work with clients. It doesn’t have to be the focus of your journey, but we can explore and get curious. It is a safe space to explore any challenges you might be facing or exploring your sexual desires. Therapy includes: exploring identities and orientations, pain during sex, performance concerns, trauma, desire discrepancy, out of control sexual behaviors, body image, marginalized sexual identities, and self-confidence.

I have specialized training in working with sexual health issues, specifically focusing out of control sexual behaviors and the impact of trauma on sexual functioning.

Are you struggling to feel satisfied in your sex life? Sex therapy can help. It's a nonjudgmental, positive space to explore your concerns and develop solutions that work for you. You'll receive guidance, support, and tools to reconnect with your partner, improve communication, and foster a healthy sexual relationship. I'm here to help you find the satisfaction you deserve.

It's easy to understand why anyone would have sexual problems. No one teaches us how to be healthy sexual beings. We're taught all kinds of stuff that's wrong and we have to make up a lot of what we do by trial and error. It's a silly way to learn something so vital to our lives. I'm sure that whatever you struggle with is common. It won't surprise me. Come see me to find out what no one would teach you in a safe caring way.
