Sexual Problems

I work with individuals and couples looking to work on challenges related to sex & sexuality.

Sex isn’t necessarily about intercourse, but it can be. You might be experiencing pain during sex or trouble ejaculating or keeping an erection. Shame or anxiety might be limiting your ability to enjoy sex. Or you might feel like sex has taken control of your life. When working with folks overcoming sexual challenges, I always aim to chase after pleasure, play and connection. Together we can help you reconnect to yourself and reclaim your sexual freedom.

Obstacles to achieving pleasure-filled sex with ourselves or others are endless and often interconnected between solo and partnered experiences. You deserve to a sex life full of pleasure, meaning, and connection. Support for individuals, couples, and ENM relationships wanting to thrive.

I am enrolled in sex therapy certification and treat issues related to low desire, anorgasmia, difficulty communicating around pleasure and intimacy. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself, your desires, and communicate to partner(s) if applicable to have a happy, healthy, and fun sex life.

Sexual intimacy is a powerful way to create connection in a relationship. It can also be a source of pain, fear, and unpleasant feelings. As open as our society is supposed to be about sex, we often have beliefs that interfere with a healthy sexuality. Sex also feels vulnerable and rifts in a relationship can have a negative impact on sex. There are many skills and practices couples can learn to make sex a central part of their connection to each other.

Some challenges I work with are: partner sexual incompatibility, sexual performance anxiety, concerns about intimacy or communication about sex, sex education, lifestyle stigma, confidence and empathy building, healthy relationships after sexual trauma, dating concerns, and navigating social vs. personal values.

I help persons not act out sexual misbehaviors.

Sexual pain, lack of orgasms, low libido, and erectile concerns are all issues we can address with proven, research-backed methods. We’ll explore what’s causing these challenges—whether physical, emotional, or relational. My approach helps you reconnect with your body and experience sex that feels empowered and free of shame. You’ll learn to express your desires, resolve concerns, and enjoy a fulfilling, evidence-based path to sexual wellness.

When clients come to me with sexual concerns, they often feel isolated and tell me that their self-esteem has been impacted. Many sexual issues can be successfully addressed through sex therapy including low libido, pain, difficulty with orgasm, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual shame, desire discrepancy between partners, and navigating kink / BDSM. I operate from a sex-positive and collaborative perspective.

As a Sex Therapist, I take a sex positive approach, and emphasize consent, clear communication, values, safety, honesty, and pleasure. These approaches help clients relieve shame, guilt, and stigma. I also focus on helping clients learn more about updated and science based sex ed, explore their sexual interests, and increase self-acceptance.

I am an AASECT Certified sex therapist and I help adult (and their partners) deal with issues such as sexual pain, desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, trauma related to sex, and dysphoria related to sex.

I possess a nuanced understanding of the unique challenges and dynamics that encompass sexual health and intimacy within the LGBTQ+ community. Drawing upon a foundation of inclusive and affirmative practices, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals to explore their sexual identities, desires, and concerns. My expertise extends beyond traditional therapeutic approaches to incorporate an intersectional lens towards sexual health and wellness.

I utilize my sex therapy training and integrate it into all of my work with clients. It doesn’t have to be the focus of your journey, but we can explore and get curious. It is a safe space to explore any challenges you might be facing or exploring your sexual desires. Therapy includes: exploring identities and orientations, pain during sex, performance concerns, trauma, desire discrepancy, out of control sexual behaviors, body image, marginalized sexual identities, and self-confidence.

At PhIIRST, we have an integrated approach that includes modalities such as behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, and systemic therapy in resolving sexual problems. Though treatment can be done on an individual basis, we encourage the couple to work together. We offer sex education and sexual enrichment for couples who want to improve or enhance their sexual relationship, recapture lost sensuality, restructure sexuality after a life changing event, and become comfortable together.

As an ASSECT Certified Sex Therapist, I am trained to work with a variety of sexual concerns including sexual desire discrepancy, difficulty with orgasm, erectile difficulties, pain during sex, living with Sexually Transmitted Infections, kink and BDSM, gender identity exploration, sexual identity exploration, sexual anxiety/sexual shame and more. I have advanced training in working with people who have experienced sexual trauma or childhood sexual abuse reclaim their sexuality.

I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who is both comfortable and competent navigating physical intimacy and sexual challenges with clients either as individuals or in a couples dynamic.

Eeek! In our sex-negative society, it's SO HARD to know what to do when you're having a problem related to sex. I can help you to relax so you can understand and explore your own sexuality, what you desire, and what brings you pleasure. We can practice talking about it so you can be comfortable bringing it up with your partner(s) in a way that feels authentic to you. We can also untangle stories that have you confused about what is "normal", so you can focus on getting what you want!

Sexual "Problems" ?! How negative! I like to support my clients in exploring their relationship to sex, sexuality, and sensuality from a more liberated and joyful lens. Therapy with me around these themes is judgement free, fun, exploratory, and rooted in curiosity and freedom. Working with our sexual "problems" in therapy can lead us to deep levels of personal knowledge and unlock new levels of joy. Let's let your sexual energy lead us to alignment of your mind, body, and soul.

I take you through the biochemistry of sex and explore with you the intersection between, sexuality, relationships, and addiction in your life. Its not for me to tell you how it is, its for me to give you the information and you can help me understand how what you are learning has manifested in your own life. Sexual problems can be resolved. If your sexual interests are getting in the way of your relationships, I am the guy you should call!
