Maybe you’re feeling ashamed about your sexual interests or fantasies, and you worry about what your partner or future partners will think. Maybe you’re a sexual trauma survivor and you often feel triggered by certain aspects of intimacy, and you find yourself unable to create positive experiences with your partner.

My practice is kink-aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex worker allied, and affirming of ethically non-monogamous and polyamorous relationship styles.

Sex therapy is a specialized type of talk therapy that aims to improve sexual problems or issues related to sexuality. Sexuality is complex and many sexual problems are multi-dimensional, so sex therapy often involves exploring many aspects of your life rather than just talking about sex. There are a variety of reasons that may lead a person to seek sex therapy, such as sexual dysfunction, pain during sex, identity or orientation issues, or low sexual confidence. It can feel uncomfortable discussing your sexual problems, at least at first. This is why it’s important to find a sex therapist who you feel you can trust, so that you can finally create long-lasting change in your sex life. I’m thrilled to offer sex therapy to residents of Blacksburg, VA, tailored to your unique needs. Learn more about my approach here.
