Sex Therapy for the Life You're Actually Living

Real intimacy challenges deserve more than surface-level answers. Whether you're navigating desire discrepancy, recovering from sexual trauma, or finally ready to address something you've never said out loud, this is a space built for exactly that.

Who This Work Is For

Sex therapy isn't just for crisis.

It's for people who know something is off and are ready to actually address it.

My clients are often high-functioning professionals whose public lives look solid but whose intimate lives tell a different story. They come in dealing with things like desire discrepancy, vaginismus or painful sex, the aftermath of infidelity, communication breakdown in long-term relationships, and questions about sexual identity or orientation.

I also work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, people in kink and polyamorous relationships, and women navigating sexual health issues that their OB/GYN has referred out.

Whatever brings you here, this is a space where nothing is off the table and nothing requires an apology.

What the Work Looks Like

What Therapy with Me Actually Looks Like

Sessions are private, talk-based, and fully confidential. This is a space where you can say the thing you haven't been able to say anywhere else, without managing my reaction or worrying about being judged for it.

I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan's Sexual Health Certificate Program and hold active certification through IAPST and IBOSP. I previously held AASECT certification and left the organization on principle. You can read more about that decision here. I stay current with the latest research in sexuality and participate in ongoing advanced training. Sex therapy is not a sideline in my practice. It is the practice.

My approach is sex-positive and clinically grounded. I'm here to help you figure out what a healthy sex life looks like for you, and to help you get there.

Naming What's Actually Happening

Not the presenting complaint, but the real thing underneath it. Shame, avoidance, grief, disconnection. We work with what's true.

Building Language for Hard Things

Communication skills aren't just about conflict. They're about being able to ask for what you need, set limits without guilt, and stay in honest contact with the people you're close to.

Creating Change That Holds

Not coping strategies to get through the week. Actual shifts in how you relate to yourself and the people you're intimate with.

Sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. You attend from wherever you're most comfortable, in Connecticut, New York, or Michigan, which, for this kind of work, turns out to matter quite a bit.

What Makes This Different

Specialized. Genuinely Affirming. Telehealth.

This isn't a general practice with a sex therapy checkbox. It's a specialty practice built from the ground up for this work.

Specialized Training, Not a General Practice

Sex therapy is a distinct clinical specialty, and it's the center of my practice, not an add-on. I'm an IAPST and IBOSP Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with advanced training in human sexuality, women's sexual health, and relationship dynamics.

Genuinely Affirming, Not Just Checkbox Affirming

LGBTQ+, ENM, kink, polyamorous, mixed-orientation: these aren't edge cases here, they're part of the everyday practice. You won't need to educate me on your relationship structure or spend session time explaining why it's valid. We skip straight to the actual work.

Telehealth Across Connecticut, New York, and Michigan

All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. You attend from wherever you're most comfortable, which, for this kind of work, matters more than most people expect.

Multiple Modalities, One Clear Goal

Talk therapy is the foundation. When deeper trauma or emotional blocks are part of the picture, I layer in Brainspotting: a body-based, evidence-supported approach that gets to places conversation alone often can't reach.

Common Questions

What People Ask Before Starting

No. Sex therapy is talk-based and entirely non-physical. Sessions focus on conversation, psychoeducation, and skill-building. There is no touching, no nudity, and nothing that resembles what people sometimes imagine when they hear the words "sex therapy." It is clinical work, conducted the same way any other therapy is.

Desire discrepancy, vaginismus, painful sex, sexual trauma, low libido, arousal difficulties, intimacy avoidance, communication breakdown, infidelity recovery, identity exploration, and the complexity that comes with kink, ENM, or non-traditional relationship structures. If it lives at the intersection of sexuality, identity, and relationship, it belongs here.

Actually affirming. LGBTQ+ identities, kink, polyamory, ENM, and non-traditional relationship structures are not treated as things to work around or explain. You won't spend your session time educating me. The work can start from where you are.

Sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera, and a reliable internet connection. That's it. Many clients find that attending from home makes it easier to get into the deeper material faster.
