Sex Therapy
What shifts in your relationship to intimacy
Sex therapy is a space to explore intimacy, desire, and pleasure with honesty and care. It’s not about performance or meeting expectations; it’s about understanding your relationship to your body, your sexuality, and your needs.
This work is inclusive of queer, trans, and non-monogamous identities and relationships, and grounded in respect for your autonomy, values, and lived experience.
You might notice patterns like disconnection from your body, difficulty accessing desire, shame around sex, or feeling stuck between what you want and what you’ve been taught to want. You may understand yourself intellectually and still feel blocked in your body or relationships.
We often work with:
Desire differences or low desire
Shame, anxiety, or avoidance around sex
Disconnection from your body or pleasure
Pain, discomfort, or difficulty with arousal
Exploring identity, orientation, or relationship structures
Communication around intimacy and boundaries
Together, we gently untangle the patterns shaped by shame, conditioning, and past experiences. We work to rebuild a sense of safety in your body and support you in accessing desire, pleasure, and choice.
Over time, you may notice feeling more connected to your body, more confident in your desires, and more able to engage in intimacy in ways that feel aligned and self-trusting.
The Therapeutic Process
Understanding Your Relationship to Intimacy
We begin by exploring your relationship to intimacy, desire, and pleasure. We’ll examine the messages, experiences, and patterns that have shaped how you relate to your body and sexuality.
Building Safety and Connection
Together, we’ll work to reduce shame and create a greater sense of safety in your body. You learn to notice and respond to your body’s signals, rather than override or disconnect from them.
Reconnecting with Desire and Choice
Over time, you’ll begin to access desire, pleasure, and intimacy in ways that feel more authentic and self-directed, making choices that reflect your needs, boundaries, and values.
