Sex Therapy
Many people have a hard time to talk about sex in a vulnerable, authentic and direct manner. Even though our culture is overloaded with sexualized marketing campaigns, expectations and sociatical pressure, rarely do people learn how to discuss sex in the context of attachment and intimacy. We learned about sex in relations to sexaully tranmittable diesases, in an aim to promote abstenism. Not talking about one’s sexual desires, needs, feeling, prevents people from having intimate, healthy and exciting sex lives.
My areas of specialty include issues surrounding sexuality and gender, sexual dysfunction, the LGBTQIA+ population and those seeking alternative sexual lisfestyles including KINK and BDSM. I aim to meet my clients where they are, holding space for exploration of self, through empowerment for growth, autonomy, sexual exploration, and consent.
Sexual Dysfunction
Whether you are single or in a relationship, there is a lot to learn about your sexuality.
Sexuality is central part of our identity and van be a crucial element of our intimate relationships. In therapy through meaningful dialogue, together we will explore the factors that contribute to the lack of pleasure, desire, and joy in your sexual encounters.

When it comes to relationship styles, there are many different choices available and disucssed in our culture lately. Ethical non-monogamy (ENM) is a set of values that couples can choose to have in their partnerships that involve being partnered and committed to one another, but without being monogamous.
In ethical or consensual non-monogamy you and your partner have the agreements, trust, conflict resolution skills needed to navigate this lifestyle inside of your committed relationship.Types of Ethical Non-Monogamy:

BlendingSex-Positive
One of the most important components of therapy is feeling safe to share without judgment.
Sex positive therapist describes a person who creates space for inclusivity, and recognizes the diversity of fantasies, sexual expression and sexual behaviors that exist.
Introducing kink into someone's sex life or to the relationship(s) can feel awkward at first. A sex positive therapist can help curate conversation with
partner(s), provide appropriate education, and help to design a safety and boundary plan. The work promotes autonomy, sexual exploration, and consent. For those who are experienced with kink, it can help you take your play to deeper levels, and iron out any bumps along the way.
