Somatic Sex Therapy

I have been working with individuals and couples with a focus in sexual health and needs for four years. I have applied for certification through IBOSP (International Board of Sexuality Professionals). I blend Somatic therapies which teach us how to be present in our bodies, with Sex Therapy to help individuals embody and improve their sexual health. Individuals who see me are often struggling with Vaginismus, Vulvodynia, hormone changes, erectile dysfunction, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Sexual health issues can cause low self-esteem, relationship problems, and social isolation. I am sex positive and believe caring for our sexual health is as important as caring for our mental health. I have experience working with couples and individuals in nontraditional relationships (ENM, Polyamory) as well as LGBTQ+ individuals. I teach nervous system regulation, emotion focused communication, and use Polyvagal Theory in Sex Therapy.
