Did you lack a healthy example of how to love yourself growing up and want to learn how to love yourself healthily? Did you lack an example of a healthy relationship growing up, romantic and/or friendship and want to improve the ones you have and/or learn ways to establish healthy ones? Maybe your concern is sex related and you want to meet individually. In individual therapy, I assist you to interrupt these unhealthy patterns and build healthy ones that will lead you to be the person you’ve always wanted to be but didn’t know how. Regardless of your marital status, I can assist you with becoming your biggest cheerleader instead of continuing to be your biggest hater.
Are you and your partner feeling distant and/or like roommates and you’re over it? Do you find yourselves reminiscing on the good times and it feels forever ago? Are you constantly arguing or giving each other the silent treatment? If so, it is time to learn how to listen to understand instead of listening to respond. I have assisted couples with this skill as well as learning how to manage their emotions, communicate effectively and identify what has been interrupting their connection which is the road to intimacy. The couple is the client and I vow to remain unbiased while creating a safe, judgement free space to process, interrupt unhealthy patterns while assisting you with creating healthy ones.
As a sex therapist, I understand that intimacy starts way before the bedroom. It starts with how we treat ourselves first and then connection with our partners throughout the day. Sex therapy is treating the relationship issues that trickle down into the bedroom. Are you unsatisfied with your sex life? Are you and your partner having difficulty feeling unheard, unseen and unloved?
Know that great sex is the product of a healthy relationship, starting with you. I have assisted partners with improving intimacy and connection followed by discussing techniques to be used to improve their sex lives. Sex therapy is a journey. These issues aren’t developed overnight; therefore, they won’t be resolved overnight. Patience, honesty and understanding are required for success.
Sex therapy is talk therapy. We do not engage with clients sexually in any way. What we do is model ethical behavior while being unbiased, supportive and empathetic. Couples as well as individuals can benefit from sex therapy. With couples, the couple is the client. The client is the expert on themselves and I am the expert on the therapeutic process.
