Sex Therapy for Adults in New York & South Carolina
You deserve a
satisfying sex life
Welcome to the world of sex therapy, where we tackle the most "uncomfortable" topics with humor and professionalism
Don't worry, I’ve heard everything before and no question is off-limits.
Sex is a part of life, and let's face it, it's a part we want to get “right”, whatever that means. But sometimes, things don't go as planned. Maybe you are wondering where your desire went or have been engaging in sexual activity just to “maintain” your relationship. Maybe you’ve been avoiding telling your partner you’ve been bored in the bedroom or you find yourself relying more and more on pornography because you aren’t finding pleasure in your relationship. Whether you want to light fires in your bedroom, address your unsatisfying sex life, or just need someone to chat with about all things sex, I’m here to help.
Picture this: You're lying on a couch – just kidding, that doesn't actually happen. When it comes to talking about sex and relationships, a little humor can go a long way. After all, it's not every day you get to discuss the birds and the bees with someone who isn't your partner, roommate or your best friend. So, if you've ever pondered questions like, "Is it normal to like that?" or "What's the deal with that strange noise?" – you're in the right place. The goal is to make you feel as comfortable as if you were chatting about your favorite Netflix series or comparing the best pizza toppings. After all, sex is a part of life and we are here to help you create the kind of sex life you’ve dreamed of: kinky, loving, exciting, playful, maybe all of the above? The point is it will be one you finally look forward to!
So, what can you expect from sex therapy? First, we will define what "good sex" looks and feels like for you. Then, we'll work to address any roadblocks or sticking points that might be preventing you from having the sex life you want. It may sound daunting, but I promise that the benefits of a healthier, happier sex life are worth it. Don't worry; there's no judgment here, just a lot of empathy. Remember, you’re not alone.
The only thing scarier than starting therapy is missing out on a satisfying sex life.
Isn’t talking about sex awkward?
Sometimes! You might be nervous when asked to share intimate details with a complete stranger, especially if talking about sex isn’t something you are used to doing.
I understand.
Most of us did not grow up in a “sex positive” household that fostered conversations around sexual pleasure. Where did you learn about what an orgasm was or how best to experience one? What role did religion or culture play in your sexual development?
It doesn’t matter if you are single or dating, you just may not be used to exploring your own body or talking about intimacy in general. Of course it makes sense that you may be a bit nervous to start seeing a sex therapist. The first step is often the hardest and the fact that you are even here speaks volumes. Below are some of the most comment questions individuals and couples have had, along with answers to help you better understand the challenges you may face.
-
Sex therapy is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on addressing issues related to sexual health, relationships, and intimacy. A qualified sex therapist can help individuals and couples navigate a wide range of concerns, from communication problems to sexual dysfunction, to enhance their sexual satisfaction and overall well-being.
-
You might consider sex therapy if you're experiencing any of the following:
Communication difficulties with your partner about your sexual desires and boundaries.

Past sexual trauma or abuse that is affecting your current sex life.
Desire discrepancies between you and your partner.
A desire to explore and enhance your sexual experiences and understanding.

Sexual experiences and concerns vary widely among individuals and couples. What’s important is whether a particular issue is causing distress or negatively impacting your life or relationship. Sex therapy can help you address these concerns, regardless of their perceived “normality.”
-
During a sex therapy session, you and your therapist will discuss your concerns, feelings, and experiences. The therapist may use various techniques to help you identify the root causes of your issues and develop strategies to address them. Sessions are safe, non-judgmental, and entirely focused on your well-being.

The number of sessions required varies depending on your specific concerns and goals. Some issues can be addressed in just a few sessions, while others may require more extensive work. I will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
