You’ve been struggling in the most intimate parts of your life for a while, and you’re starting to worry it will always be this way. You’ve tried everything you can think of to make this better on your own but you eventually end up back where you started. Maybe there have been times you’ve just avoided thinking about it in hopes that, with enough time, it’ll get better on its own. Sexual problems are not trivial issues—sexuality is a core component of wellbeing. When this part of your life is suffering, your overall quality of life suffers.

You feel self-conscious about your body, making it hard to relax and enjoy physical closeness.
I’m here to remind you that you are deserving of pleasure, and I’m pleased to be able to provide sex therapy to residents in and around Charlottesville, VA.

Take Charge of Your Pleasure with Sex Therapy in Charlottesville, VA
Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy with a focus on sexual health and wellness. Addressing a wide variety of sexual issues, a sex therapist is trained to work with sexual dysfunction, performance anxiety, erectile and ejaculation issues, and sexual shame, to name a few. Sexual concerns are often multi-dimensional, involving physical, medical, psychological, or relational factors. This complexity is why it’s important to work with a skilled sex therapist who can help you explore and address these areas and overcome your barriers to intimacy.
Sexual problems aren’t trivial—they can deeply impact your relationship, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. Many people struggle with sexual problems for years before reaching out for help, believing it will eventually resolve on its own or that talking about sex will be too awkward. However, the longer these issues go unaddressed, the longer you’re kept from experiencing the sexual fulfillment and connection you deserve. It’s understandable to feel nervous about opening up to a therapist about such personal issues, especially if you already find it hard to talk about sex with your partner. The awkwardness is temporary though, and you will come out on the other side feeling more confident and connected in your intimate life. You deserve a healthy, satisfying sex life, and I’m here to help you get there. I’m excited to extend my sex therapy services to residents in and around Charlottesville, VA.

Why choose an online sex therapist?
Online therapy, or teletherapy, brings professional therapy services directly to your fingertips, no matter where you are located. It is a convenient option for busy professionals, stay-at-home parents, or for people who are seeking highly specialized services such as sex therapy. Depending on where you reside in Virginia, you may have limited options of sex therapists to choose from. Online therapy removes the geographical barrier and gives you access to sex therapists across the state of Virginia. Accessing a sex therapist from the comfort of your home in Charlottesville, VA has never been easier.
Many clients wonder if online therapy can still work for couples or polycules, and it absolutely can! Online therapy offers the same conveniences to couples as it does to individuals who are seeking accessible sex therapy. Instead of coordinating schedules for a time in which you both can show up to a traditional therapy office, you can log in from separate devices if one person is at home and the other is still in their work office. Online therapy may be the best solution for busy couples who haven’t been able to find the time to attend therapy otherwise. All you need is a reliable internet connection, your phone or computer, and a private space where you feel comfortable to talk. Online sex therapy is a convenient, flexible option for individuals and couples in Charlottesville, VA who are seeking a kink-aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and ethical non-monogamy affirming therapist.
