Sex Therapy (FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions

---

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that helps individuals and couples address concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and sexual well-being. Therapy provides a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space to explore challenges, improve communication, reduce shame, and develop a healthier relationship with your sexuality.

Whether you’re experiencing a specific concern or simply want to deepen intimacy and connection, sex therapy can provide evidence-based guidance tailored to your unique goals.

  As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I have advanced training in the assessment and treatment of sexual concerns beyond traditional mental health education. I am also a published researcher and author on human sexuality and sex therapy, and my work is grounded in evidence-based practice, years of clinical experience, teaching, and scholarship.

My approach is:

· Sex-positive and affirming

· Evidence-based

· Trauma-informed

· Culturally responsive

· Nonjudgmental and inclusive

My goal is to help clients strengthen intimacy, reduce shame, improve communication, and build a more authentic relationship with their sexuality.
