Sex Therapy in Alexandria, VA
Feeling disconnected or unfulfilled in your sex life can cast a shadow over other areas of your life and well-being. Sexual problems are not trivial issues—they can deeply impact your mental health, your self-esteem, and your overall quality of life. Maybe you’ve been struggling with performance anxiety or erectile dysfunction, and you’re finding yourself avoiding intimacy because it usually ends in embarrassment or shame. Or maybe you’re adjusting to a new chapter of life, such as parenthood or menopause, and you’re noticing changes in your overall desire but you don’t know how to get it back.
You don’t feel bonded to your partner and you worry you’re missing out on the fun and pleasure that everyone else seems to have. You’ve tried to figure this out on your own, but it seems like things never improve, at least not for long. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, you’re in the right place. You are deserving of a pleasurable and satisfying sex life. I’m happy to be able to provide sex therapy to residents of Alexandria, VA. Learn more about sex therapy and how it can help you achieve a fulfilling sex life. My practice is sex-positive, kink-affirming, and affirming of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles.
Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy aimed to resolve or improve issues related to sex or intimacy. It is a broad niche serving a variety of issues; low libido, sexual pain, erectile dysfunction, and performance anxiety, to name a few. Sexuality is complex which is why many people stay “stuck” with the same issues for so long when they don’t seek help. Sometimes working with a sex therapist individually is the most appropriate approach, while some sexual issues are best addressed together with your partner(s). It’s common for clients to worry about awkwardness when they consider reaching out for sex therapy, but I’m here to tell you that the awkwardness is survivable and we’ll get through it together! Most clients find that my compassionate and humorous nature puts them at ease and that they get over the initial nervousness fairly quickly. I’m eager to help residents of Alexandria, VA work towards a more fulfilling sex life. Learn more about my approach here to see if we feel like a good fit.

Getting started with sex therapy in Alexandria, VA is easy—I promise! For help with sexual problems, relationship issues, and other intimacy concerns, reach out today to schedule a free consultation. We will talk briefly about what brings you to sex therapy and I will answer any questions you may have to help you determine if we are a good fit. After we talk a little about your goals and what you’d like to be different, I will explain how I would work with the issue and what you could expect from our work together. If you decide you’d like to move forward, we’ll schedule an intake within the next 1-2 weeks and get started on helping you achieve the sex life you deserve!
I suggest starting out with weekly or biweekly sessions for the best progress to occur. I find that starting out less frequently leads to slower progress, as it will take a little bit of time to build rapport and to fully assess the bigger picture of what is influencing your sexual issue. You will be given homework to work on in between sessions that will help you work towards your goals. Although you might be encouraged to set outside your comfort zone, we will always collaborate on homework assignments to make sure you’re in agreement and that we’re heading in the right direction. Sex therapy isn’t always ‘easy’ work, but it is work worth doing! I’m proud to help residents of Alexandria, VA rediscover joy with shame-free sex therapy services, and I look forward to hearing from you.
