Sex Therapy
I identify as a sex geek. Even before becoming a therapist, I have sought to better understand the many powerful experiences we as humans have around sex and relationships. I have yet to tire of learning and talking about sex and the many incredible and varied spectra of sexual experience and the ways we as people find pleasure.
I work from a non-judgmental, queer-affirming, nuerodiversity affirming, sex-positive, kink-positive, poly-affirming, sex worker-positive, and trauma informed perspective, but more than that, I am myself queer, kinky, and non-monogamous. I offer my clients inside knowledge and not just book learning. I understand that knowing one kinky/poly/queer/neurodivergent person, means I know one kinky/poly/queer/neurodivergent person. The rest really has to be learned with curiosity, humility, and time.
As a sex therapist I also specifically work with individuals, couples, or multiples who may be navigating:
-
Sexual pain

Distress around orgasms that come quicker or slower than one would like or not at all
