Sex Therapy in Virginia Beach

You’ve found your way here because you’re tired of feeling unfulfilled and frustrated in your intimate life. Maybe you’ve been coping with erectile dysfunction and you’ve started to avoid intimacy because you don’t want your partner to be disappointed. Maybe you have no interest in sex and it’s starting to hurt your relationship, but you’re not sure how to get that ‘spark’ back. Or perhaps you’re here because you’re a survivor of sexual trauma and you’re finding it difficult to navigate intimacy. Regardless of the sexual issue that brought you here, you have the sense that something needs to change and you’re looking to restore your sexual wellness. You’re in the right place.

I’m here to provide sex therapy for residents of Virginia Beach, helping you overcome a variety of sexual issues and barriers to intimacy. People often deal with their sexual problems for a long time before deciding to look for a sex therapist, but there’s no need to wait until you’re miserable or until your relationship is in crisis. If it’s bothersome and causes distress, it’s worth talking to a sex therapist. Your sexual wellness is an important and beneficial part of your life, and you deserve to experience pleasure and connection fully. I’m excited to help couples and individuals of Virginia Beach achieve a healthy, fulfilling sex life. Whether you are experiencing challenges such as performance anxiety, painful intercourse, low libido, or difficulties with arousal and desire, sex therapy can provide the support and tools you need for overcoming these obstacles.

Sex Therapy in Virginia Beach

Sex therapy can be used to treat a wide range of sexual issues, such as identity and orientation issues, sexual shame or anxiety, low sexual confidence, erectile dysfunction, and other problems related to arousal, orgasm, and desire. Depending on the presenting issue(s), sex therapy might be more appropriate to do individually or together with your partner. Whether done individually or with partners, sex therapy usually involves a component of psychoeducation to help you gain a better understanding of what you’re experiencing. This not only gives you insight to your experience, but I find it also helps to remove shame and embarrassment. Lack of adequate sex education leaves many feeling ashamed and embarrassed about sexual problems, often thinking they are alone in their struggles. I’m here to remind you that you deserve to feel empowered in your sexuality, and it’s okay to ask for help to get there. My practice is LGBTQIA+, ENM/CNM/Polyamory, and kink affirming, and I am committed to helping Virginia Beach residents achieve sexual wellness. Learn more about my approach here.

Online Therapy in Virginia Beach

Online therapy, or teletherapy, is a convenient alternative to traditional in-person therapy. Although it is not suitable for all psychotherapy issues, research has indicated that teletherapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many common therapy issues. It is an excellent option for individuals, couples, and polycules in Virginia Beach who are seeking convenient and specialized therapeutic services like sex therapy. When seeking a specialized service such as sex therapy, you may find that your local options are limited. Sexual minorities and individuals who have identities that are commonly misunderstood may hesitate to reach out for therapy at all. Whether you are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, exploring alternative relationship structures, or seeking a kink-aware therapist, online therapy ensures that you can connect with a therapist who is knowledgeable and understanding of your needs. Online therapy is a convenient and accessible option for Virginia Beach residents to start working towards their intimacy goals.

Many people find that the enhanced comfort of being in their own space helps them feel more at ease when discussing sensitive topics such as sex or intimacy. They also find the scheduling flexibility to be less disruptive to their day by removing the time and hassle associated with traffic. Online sex therapy is also suitable for couples and polycules, who may find it is easier to find a common time to attend therapy together virtually. This means you don’t have to put your intimacy problems on hold. Instead, you can connect with an online therapist and start breaking down your barriers to intimacy right away. Accessing shame-free sex therapy services in Virginia Beach has never been easier. All you need is a reliable internet connection, your phone or computer, and a private space where you feel comfortable discussing your sexual issues and goals.
